Ignite-UX Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i (B3921-90079, October 2013)

When dealing with more than one depot, use the load_order option to control the exact
sequencing of media installations. It is helpful to use the media_title option so Ignite-UX
can prompt for media using meaningful text.
To create the configuration file for the second depot, you could use the following command:
# make_config -x no_sd_server -s <path_to_depot2> \
-c <path_to_cfg_file2> -x load_order=2 \
-x media_title="Installation DVD Number 2"
Continue to create configuration files for all your depots.
3. Create the LIF header
Use the make_medialif command to deposit the LIF file into the first DVD depot pseudo-root.
This is the norm for installation media.
The following make_medialif command uses two standard configuration files and two
depot configuration files, but you can specify as many as you wish.
# make_medialif -f /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/config \
-f /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/hw_patches_cfg \
-f <path_to_cfg_file1> \
-f <path_to_cfg_file2> \
-r B.11.23 -a -V -v -R -l <path_to_depot1>/media_lif
# instl_adm -b -F <path_to_depot1>/media_lif
The commands above create a LIF configuration file that contains the default file system layout
configuration file for 11i v2, the patch handling configuration file for v2, and two depot
configuration files created with make_config. Other options are to include the Version
file, RECCMDS, and support for Integrity and PA-RISC systems.
If you need to include configuration information in the install file system, such as settings of
control keywords, it must be set now using the instl_adm command. For example, if you
wanted a common root password, you could place that information in a file using the
root_password keyword, and then run the following command:
# instl_adm -f <path_to_special_cfg_settings> \
-F <path_to_depot1>/media_lif
For more information, see instl_adm(1M) and instl_adm(4).
Create the first DVD
1. Copy the EFI partition into the first DVD pseudo-root:
# cp /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.23/EFI_CD_image <path_to_depot1>
2. Run mkisofs to create the first DVD image (path_to_dvd1image):
# /opt/ignite/lbin/mkisofs -D -r -U -v -max-iso9660-filename \
-no-emul-boot -b EFI_CD_image -hide EFI_CD_image \
-eltorito-alt-boot -no-emul-boot \
-b media_lif -hide media_lif \
-o <path_to_dvd1image> <path_to_depot1>
3. Run instl_combine to position the LIF header at the beginning of the image:
# /opt/ignite/lbin/instl_combine -C <path_to_dvd1image>
