Hi Darren

>1. It pauses at the "confirm configuration" screen, you need to press "install" button to continue. (what setting is required to stop this?)
In autoyast there is a section called <general> including some global definitions
Please observe the first line under the tag <mode>
      <confirm config:type="boolean">true</confirm>
If you set this to false, it won’t stop anymore on the yast config screen


  <general>
    <mode>
      <confirm config:type="boolean">true</confirm>
      <forceboot config:type="boolean">false</forceboot>
      <halt config:type="boolean">false</halt>
      <second_stage config:type="boolean">true</second_stage>
    </mode>
    <signature-handling>
      <accept_unsigned_file         config:type="boolean">true</accept_unsigned_file>
      <accept_file_without_checksum config:type="boolean">true</accept_file_without_checksum>
      <accept_verification_failed   config:type="boolean">true</accept_verification_failed>
      <accept_unknown_gpg_key       config:type="boolean">true</accept_unknown_gpg_key>
      <import_gpg_key               config:type="boolean">true</import_gpg_key>
      <accept_non_trusted_gpg_key   config:type="boolean">true</accept_non_trusted_gpg_key>
    </signature-handling>
    <storage>
      <partition_alignment config:type="symbol">align_optimal</partition_alignment>
      <start_multipath config:type="boolean">false</start_multipath>
    </storage>
  </general>

Betreff: [sles-beta] A working autoyast example for SLES12B7

Team

Please find attached a "mostly working" example autoyast file for SLES12B7

Notes:
1. It pauses at the "confirm configuration" screen, you need to press "install" button to continue. (what setting is required to stop this?)
2. I have configured the HA option to install as an add-on, please adapt or remove as suits your site/testing
3. Clearly names, network card configurations, IP addresses, DNS zone etc will need to be customised for your site.

To use this you need to create a "network install" server (using the YAST2 installserver option) and import SLES12B7 (and optionally SLES12-HA-B7)

1. Boot from a preconfigured PXE or the "SLE-12-Server-MINI-ISO-x86_64-Beta7-DVD" media
2. use arrow keys and select "install" DO NOT HIT RETURN KEY AT THIS POINT
3. enter the optional peramiters: install=http://{yourinstallserveripaddress}/{pathtoinstallmedia}/CD1 autoyast=http://{yourinstallserveripaddress}/{pathtoautoyastfile/node1-autoyast.xml

I hope others find this useful as it's taken me a long while to get this far...
