Use this procedure to produce debug output when using a bosinst_data
resource.
- To enable debugging for the BOS installation
program, set the value BOSINST_DEBUG = yes in the control_flow stanza
of the bosinst.data file that you are using for your bosinst_data resource.
A minimum
bosinst.data file
for debugging purposes would contain the following lines:
control_flow:
BOSINST_DEBUG = yes
- In addition to the processing you would normally
do to install a client, include the modified bosinst_data resource
as a resource for the operation.
After the client boots over
the network, it will use the bosinst_data resource to obtain settings
for the installation. If the only data specified in your bosinst.data file
is BOSINST_DEBUG = yes, you will be prompted
for the remaining required information before the installation will continue.
Debug output will be sent to the client's display while the installation continues.
