Build customization scripts

This section discusses the following topics:

Using build customization scripts

You can use operating system-specific build scripts to control the way each operating system is provisioned. Build scripts allow you to manage each operating system installation from the network connection to SA Agent installation.

OS Provisioning build scripts provide hooks into the build process that allow you to modify operating system installations at specific points. These hooks call a single build customization script at the appropriate time in the operating system installation process.

Because each build script is specific to the operating system it installs, build customization and installation vary by operating system. Before you can use a build customization script as part of an OS Installation Profile, you need to create the build customization script and import it into the SA Client.

To import a build customization script into the SA Client, perform these tasks:

From the Navigation pane, select Library>Packages and By Folder view and then select an operating system.
From the Actions menu, select Import OS Utilities.
In the Import OS Utilities window, click Browse to select the build customization script. Note that, dependent on the operating system, the customization script filename is expected to follow certain conventions (for example, the Solaris/SPARC script must be a Bourne shell script and must be named run). See the section for your operating system below for information about these conventions.
From the Customer list, select a customer to associate with the build customization script.
From the Platforms list, select an operating system platform to associate with the build customization script.
Click Import.

Later, when you are preparing an OS Installation Profile you will have the opportunity to select a build customization script to associate with the profile. Build customization scripts that you have imported as described above appear in a list when you click Select.

See Defining an OS installation profile — Linux/UNIX for more information.
