32 sysidtool is a suite of programs that configure a new system, or one
33 that has been unconfigured with sys-unconfig(1M). The sysidtool pro‐
34 grams run automatically at system installation, or during the first
35 boot after a machine has been successfully unconfigured.
36 These programs have no effect except at such times, and should never be
39 run manually.
40 The sysidtool programs set up the appropriate information in the
43 machine's configuration files, in the kernel, and on the machine's net‐
44 work interface. The following list shows the available commands and the
45 information for which each of the commands lists.
46 sysidnet: network configuration
48 Machine's default locale. Machine's console type. Machine's host
50 name. Machine's IP address.
51 sysidns: name service configuration
54 Name service choice: NIS, NIS+, DNS, LDAP, or none. Machine's IP
56 subnet mask (if no NIS/NIS+ server can automatically be located on
57 the machine's sub-network. Domain name for chosen name service.
58 Hostname and IP address of name server(s). DNS search list (DNS
59 name service only)
60 sysidsys: miscellaneous system configuration
63 Machine's IP subnet mask (if an NIS/NIS+ server was automatically
65 located on the machine's sub-network). Machine's time zone. Date
66 and time.
67 sysidroot: control superuser information
70 Machine's root password.
72 sysidpm: power management configuration
75 Auto-shutdown confirmation if the system is Energystar-V2 compli‐
77 ant, that is, a new system model shipped after October 1, 1995.
78 sysidnfs4: NFSv4 domain configuration
81 Domain name to be used by NFSv4 client(s) and server(s) to transmit
83 user and group id's as strings of the general form
84 "[user|group]@domain".
85 sysidkbd: keyboard layout configuration
88 The corresponding keytable is loaded into the kernel according to
90 the configured keyboard layout.
91 sysidconfig: host- or platform-specific configuration
94 This command controls specification and execution of custom config‐
96 uration applications that can be specified for a particular host or
97 a particular platform. See sysidconfig(1M).
98 The sysidtool programs attempt to obtain system configuration informa‐
102 tion from various name service databases, for example, NIS, or from the
103 sysidcfg(4) file, and you are prompted to provide the information if it
104 cannot be found. However, you can avoid one or more of the prompts by
105 preconfiguring the appropriate configuration information in the name
106 service databases or in the sysidcfg(4) file.
107 To preconfigure the information in the name service databases, you must
110 use the name service commands or the Solstice AdminSuite tools. See
111 for more details about how to preconfigure the system configuration
112 information.
113 The machine's configuration information is set up in its /etc and /var
116 files.
117 If a system has more than one network interface, you can use sysidtool
120 to configure all interfaces on the system.
121 You cannot use the name service databases or the sysidcfg(4) file to
124 suppress the Power Management configuration prompt. However, you can
125 suppress it by creating either the /autoshutdown or /noautoshutdown
126 file before installation reboot. Accordingly, the auto-shutdown feature
127 is silently configured. The /autoshutdown or /noautoshutdown files are
128 removed by sysidpm before it exits.
129 sysidnfs4 installs the /etc/.NFS4inst_state.domain file upon the suc‐
132 cessful configuration of the NFSv4 domain name. If this file is present
133 during system reboot, the sysidnfs4 program is run but no prompts are
134 displayed. The suppression of prompts is intended for system upgrades,
135 in which a system configuration typically stays unchanged. The stabil‐
136 ity level of this interface is obsolete
137 sysidkbd prompts for the keyboards with zero-bCountryCode and then sets
140 the keyboard layout string in the /etc/default/kbd file. If the sysid‐
141 kbd gets the valid keyboard layout string, the string will be set into
142 the entry "LAYOUT=" in the file.

194 NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the Solaris Operating
195 system. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are available in
196 the current Solaris release. For more information, visit
