Linux Scripting Toolkit provides
tasks to perform all of its supported functions. You can either use
these tasks as they are or create new ones. This topic describes the
process for creating new tasks.
Before creating a new task, you should gather the information
required to complete the task. This information includes:
- system settings
- controller information
- available firmware updates for pre-installation tasks
- location of the operating system files
- name of the answer file for operating system deployment tasks
- location of the Systems Director Agent for post-installation
tasks
To create new tasks, you use an existing task as a template. Toolkit provides
pre-configured tasks for the supported task types. You cannot create
tasks of a type not supported by Toolkit.
- To start the Linux Scripting Toolkit Console, enter: ./opt/lnvgy/sgtk/sgtklinux.sh.
- Select the type of task you want to create from the Tasks section
of the navigation menu.
- Click Create.
- Enter the name of your new task.
- Select the template that will be the base of your new task.
- Click Create.
The
new task is displayed in the task repository.
You can now select the new task for editing.
