Template Syntax Rules
Bare metal templates include system variables and custom variables to support unattended deployment scenarios of varying complexity.
System preconfigured templates contain only system variables. Custom templates contain the basic system variables and can also include variables that you define.
System variable example (use uppercase letters and underscores as separators):
REPO_URL
# Installation source URL created from the selected ISO image
# Can be commented out and manually specified by using --url
USERNAME
# System username
# The default username is root for RHEL/CentOS and SUSE/openSUSE systems; only a password is required
# A custom username and password are required for Debian/Ubuntu systems
PASSWORD
# Password for the system user
NETWORK_CFGS
# NIC UUID and network UUID entered in the UI
# Replaced after automatic or manual IP address assignment
FORCE_INSTALL
# Whether to overwrite existing disk data automatically during deployment
PRE_SCRIPTS
# Scripts to run before deployment
POST_SCRIPTS
# Scripts to run after deploymentCustom variable example (use lowercase letters and underscores as separators):
hostname
# Hostname
keyboard
# Keyboard
timezone
# Time zoneUse the syntax rules for the corresponding template type:
