Edit the Finish File

The Finish file is executed after the operating system image is installed on the JumpStart client. This script contains setup steps that complete the installation and make the JumpStart client fully operational.

To edit the finish file

Navigate to the configuration parent directory and copy the post_install.sh file:
```
/config_parent/config_dir/Solaris_8/bin/post_install.sh
```
```
cp $CA_DCA_MANAGER/imaging/etc/post_install.sh config_parent/config_dir/Solaris_8/bin/
```
The post_install.sh file provided with CA Server Automation JumpStart Adapter is copied.
Open the Finish file with a text editor of your choice and replace the values of the following variables:
PASSWD

Sets the password.

Example: PASSWD=pZWXCvV5eAkJU.

PATCH_LOCATION

Specifies the path to the patches.

Example: PATCH_LOCATION=server_hostname:/image_parent/sol_8/Solaris_8/Patches

IPC Tunables

Specifies the tunable Solaris parameters. Requires a system reboot for settings to take effect.

Example:

SHMMAXv8_HEX=0x400000

SHMSEGv8_HEX=0x100

SEMMNIv8_HEX=0x100

SEMMNSv8_HEX=0x12c

SEMUMEv8_HEX=0x20

SEMMNUv8_HEX=0x100

Optional Patches
Specifies any additional patches added to the installation image. Add patchadd statements in this section to add these patches during provisioning:
```
if [ "$OSVER" = "5.8" ] ; then
```
```
	echo "${ID}Install SUN patches"
```
```
	echo "${ID}mount -f nfs ${PATCH_LOCATION} ${A_ROOT}/mnt"
```
```
	mount -f nfs ${PATCH_LOCATION} ${A_ROOT}/mnt
```
```
	echo "${ID}patchadd -R ${A_ROOT} ${A_ROOT}/mnt/112438-03"
```
```
	patchadd -R ${A_ROOT} ${A_ROOT}/mnt/112438-03
```
```
	echo "${ID}patchadd -R ${A_ROOT} ${A_ROOT}/mnt/108434-22"
```
```
	patchadd -R ${A_ROOT} ${A_ROOT}/mnt/108434-22
```
```
	echo "${ID}umount ${A_ROOT}/mnt"
```
```
	umount ${A_ROOT}/mnt
```
The password, patch location, CA IPC tunables and optional patches are set in the Finish file.
