3.3. Templated Partitioning

Rocks on Solaris supports templated partitioning.

As mentioned in the previous section, the /tmp/user_part_info is used to create user-specific partitioning. This may be augmented with templated partitioning.

Templated partitioning is specified by the rocks keyword as the first word in the /tmp/user_part_info file.

Currently there are only two templates that are supported in Rocks.

• force-default : This keyword forces the default partitioning on the node. For more information about the default partitioning scheme refer to the Default Partitioning portion of this document.

  Example 3-2. Forcing default partitioning

  <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <jumpstart> <pre> echo "rocks force-default" &gt; /tmp/user_part_info </pre> </jumpstart>

• mirror : This keyword forces the root pool to be mirrored on the first two bios disks discovered by Solaris.

  Example 3-3. Mirrored Root Pool

  <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <jumpstart> <pre> echo "rocks mirror" &gt; /tmp/user_part_info </pre> </jumpstart>
