If you need to install OES Linux to multiple systems that perform similar tasks and that share the same environment and similar but not necessarily identical hardware, you might want to use AutoYaST to perform the installation.
Using the Configuration Management tool ( > > ), you generate an XML profile file (referred to as a control file) and use it to perform OES Linux installations to multiple servers that share the same hardware and environments. You can also tailor this control file for any specific environment. You then provide this control file to the YaST2 installation program.
This section does not provide complete AutoYaST instructions. It provides only the instructions to help you select which OES software to add to the AutoYaST control file, and specifies the dependencies that OES components have on each other.
For complete instructions on using AutoYaST2, see Automatic Linux Installation and Configuration with Yast2. You can also access the HTML files locally on an OES server in /usr/share/doc/packages/autoyast2/html/index.html.
For additional information, how-tos, mailings lists, and updates for the AutoYaST Auto Installer, see the YaST Auto Installer Web site.
