Instalar o  sistema Suse/OpenSuse remotamente com  o protocolo ssh ou vnc é muito simples. Basta inserir alguns parâmetros na  opção de boot do grub. A  seguir  os  principais  parâmetros:

Instalação  remota com  o protocolo vnc:

vnc=1 vncpassword=install

Instalação remota com  o  protocolo ssh:

ssh=1 sshpassword=install

Configuração IP da  rede estático:

hostip = 192.168.10.10 netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 192.168.10.1 nameserver = 192.168.10.1

Para conectar com o equipamento e iniciar a instalação via SSH:

cabelo@server2:~ #  ssh -X root@192.168.1010.

The authenticity of host '192.168.10.10 (192.168.10.10)' can't be established.

DSA key fingerprint is d3:8e:48:6c:5a:e4:45:ac:80:d9:7f:bc:16:a3:7a:a3.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Cansado de  parar e levantar  o WebSphere da IBM manualmente no SLES 10 SP1, resolvi escrever um script e coloca-lo no  init.d.  Vejam  o resultado :

# rcwas status
Checking for WebSphere Aplication Server                              unused
# rcwas start
Starting WebSphere Aplication Server                                  done
# rcwas status
Checking for WebSphere Aplication Server                              running
# rcwas stop
Shutting WebSphere Aplicaton Server                                   done
 # rcwas status

A seguir o  Script:
