Ignite-UX Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i (B3921-90080, November 2013)

The unique customizations appear in the directory dedicated to the client by MAC address,
which is linked to a directory containing the client name:
/var/opt/ignite/clients/client/config
This file is created when you use the Ignite-UX GUI to specify the client configuration.
7. Creating and saving custom configuration choices - You can create your own custom
configurations using the Ignite-UX GUI, save them for repeated use, and easily select them
when installing clients. For example, you might have a large number of users with similar
systems who all run Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools. You could build a configuration that
defines all necessary parameters and save it in a configuration called CAD System. When
you want to install a new system for a CAD user, you can select CAD System from the GUI
and you are done (or you could customize it further using CAD System as the template).
Saved configurations are located in: /var/opt/ignite/saved_cfgs/
NOTE: Configuration files are often referred to as config files because the word configuration
is shortened to create file and directory names. For example, a client’s local configuration file is
config.local.
You can build your own configuration files that specify the various installation parameters you are
interested in, and then combine them in arbitrary ways into any number of different custom
configurations using the /var/opt/ignite/data/INDEX file. Place these custom configuration
files in one of the HP-UX release-specific operating system directories:
/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_release/*
The next section describes how to combine multiple configuration files (default or customized) to
define a single configuration.
Combining Configuration Files Using INDEX Entries
Grouping configuration files into useful configurations is accomplished in /var/opt/ignite/
data/INDEX. This file contains a list of configurations in separate clauses; each comprising one
or more configuration files that define an installation. Each configuration clause begins with cfg
and a name by which the configuration is known.
You can view these configuration names using the instl_adm command. When installing a new
client from the Ignite-UX GUI, you can view these configurations by clicking the button adjacent to
Configurations... on the Basic tab by as shown in Figure 93.
