10 Running AutoYaST in an installed system #
In some cases it is useful to run AutoYaST in a running system.
In the following example, an additional software package
(foo
) is going to be installed. To run this
software, a user needs to be added and an NTP client needs to be configured.
The respective AutoYaST profile needs to include a section for the package installation (Section 4.9.7, “Installing packages in stage 2”), a user (Section 4.30.1, “Users”) section and an NTP client (Section 4.21, “NTP client”) section:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE profile> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <ntp-client> <peers config:type="list"> <peer> <address>us.pool.ntp.org</address> <comment/> <options> iburst</options> <type>server</type> </peer> </peers> <start_at_boot config:type="boolean">true</start_at_boot> <start_in_chroot config:type="boolean">false</start_in_chroot> <sync_interval config:type="integer">5</sync_interval> <synchronize_time config:type="boolean">false</synchronize_time> </ntp-client> <software> <post-packages config:type="list"> <package>ntp</package> <package>yast2-ntp-client</package> <package>foo</package> </post-packages> </software> <users config:type="list"> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">false</encrypted> <fullname>Foo user</fullname> <gid>100</gid> <home>/home/foo</home> <password_settings> <expire/> <flag/> <inact/> <max>99999</max> <min>0</min> <warn>7</warn> </password_settings> <shell>/bin/bash</shell> <uid>1001</uid> <user_password>linux</user_password> <username>foo</username> </user> </users> </profile>
Store this file as /tmp/install_foo.xml
and start the
AutoYaST installation process by calling:
>
sudo
yast2 ayast_setup setup filename=/tmp/install_foo.xml dopackages="yes"
For more information, run yast2 ayast_setup longhelp
