The new 10.20 features added for the system installation process are:

  • VxFS -- The root LVM volume (/) can be configured with the VxFS file system. This is the default when choosing the LVM with the VxFS option.

  • DHCP -- Support for obtaining and allocating IP address and networking information via the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If a DHCP server is available, systems doing installs will contact the server to get a default set of network information.

  • Locale -- The system's language locale will be set depending on which language bundle is chosen during the installation.

  • Striping -- Using LVM, you can choose to configure multiple disks in same volume group with data striping for increased performance.

  • Keywords -- Several new keywords are added to the configuration file syntax for setting the keyboard language (kbdlang), SD secrets file (sd_secrets), and hook for running a script prior to running SD (pre_sd_cmd). See the instl_adm(4) manpage for details.
