I have situation where I would like to run script from my crontab that is executing script in global shell. In opsware before 7.5 I had to do it this way but in 7.5 I can schedule some jobs from java gui quite easily, but just in case if you have a need to do this from your opsware core via cron this is how I did it:

created script AutomateGlobalShell.sh:

-=-=-START OF SCRIPT-=-=-

#!/bin/sh

Starting up opsware on solaris is not a problem and its done quite easily, now doing this on solaris 10 via smf is not that difficult either, I wish opsware did this out of the box, but still not a big deal. There used to be service called: es.opensolarisblog.org/easySMF where you could construct xml file quite easily for this. I cant find this URL to be working any longer so I wanted to make sure that I put all that stuff out what I have

First you need xml file. This is what I have that I was able to create back when that website was available:

$ cat smf_opsware.xml
<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM “/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1″>

Opsware Core SA server cannot be re-IP from what I do understand, but in theory there is a way to do it. I did learn that there is few ways how to handle situation where you could change IP or use different IP. From what I do understand you can run such set of commands to attempt such action:

spinwrapper.sh

I have all bunch os Sun x86 servers, they have serial and ilom ports, currently with opsware when I do provision servers I do not get output back on my console eithere that is serial or ilom, so I had to modify slightly opsware to be able to accomodate those outputs. Anyway here is what I needed to do:

There are 2 vectors to consider here. First there’s the initial provisioning, then there’s the post-provision activities.

For the initial provisioning, login as root on your OS prov server as root, then:

- cd /opt/opsware/boot/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
- cp -p default default.20090310
- vi default

In order to reinstall opsware agent on your client server you first need to move agent file from opsware server, location is /var/opt/opsware/agent_installers/.

scp -p user@opsware/var/opt/opsware/agent/installers/opsware-agent-32h.0.0.34-solaris-5.10  /var/tmp/

then you need to uninstall previous agent if that the case:

/opt/opsware/agent/bin/agent_uninstall.sh
