  • 1.  Configuring MacInstallConfig.xml for Install Mac Os task

    Posted Feb 13, 2015 02:49 PM

    Anyone know what the parameters should be for the MacInstallConfig.xml configuration file for the Install Mac Os X task. I need the parameters for the xml file. Seems to be similar to the unattend file for windows imaging.

    The information regarding the answer file reference is found in DS_7_5_SP1_User_Guide.pdf

     

    *Ensure that the client computer hard drive has proper partitions and the target
    volume is correctly mentioned in the configuration file before you perform the Install
    Mac OS task on the client computers
    You can access the Mac configuration file from the following location:
    <instaldir>\Program Files\Altiris\Notification
    Server\NSCap\bin\UNIX\Deployment\Mac\NetInstall\AnswerFile\

    Ritchie,

    You can open xml file directly in notepad from NS machine and look for below key value pair.


     <key>Target</key>
     <string>/Volumes/Macintosh HD</string>

     

    It is recommended to keep all parameters as is and just change Target as required.
    For example if you are trying to install OS X on /Volumes/Install then you can change Target key value as 

     <key>Target</key>
     <string>/Volumes/Install</string>

    Also make sure that /Volumes/Install is erased before continuing with OS X install task.

    Thanks
