The number of lines in the parmfile is limited to 10. Specify more than one parameter
on a line. Parameter names are not case-sensitive. Separate the parameters by spaces.
You may specify the parameters in any order. Always keep the
PARAMETER=value
string together in one line. For example:
Hostname=s390zvm01.suse.de HostIP=10.11.134.65
Some of the following parameters are required. If they are missing, the automatic process
pauses and asks for the value interactively.
A.2.1 General Parameters
AutoYaST=<URL> Manual=0
The
AutoYaST
parameter specifies the location of the
autoinst.xml
control
file for automatic installation. The
Manual
parameter controls whether the other
parameters are only default values that still must be acknowledged by the user. Set
this parameter to
0
if all values should be accepted and no questions asked. Setting
AutoYaST
implies setting
Manual
to
0
.
TIP: Creating a File with Autoinstallation Information
At the very end of the installation of a system you can check Clone This System
for Autoyast. This creates a ready-to-use profile as
/root/autoinst.xml
that can be used to create clones of this particular installation. To create an
autoinstallation file from scratch or to edit an existing one, use the YaST module
Autoinstallation. For more information about AutoYaST, refer to Chapter 5,
Automated Installation (↑Installation and Administration).

IMPORTANT: Configuring the Network Interface
All settings discussed here only apply to the network interface used during in-
stallation. Configure additional network interfaces in the installed system by
following the instructions given in Section 30.6, “Configuring a Network Con-
