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

Ignite-UX overwrites this client-specific config file at the end of the installation, creating a record
of the parameters defined for this client’s most recent installation.
The configuration data in this file is used to override the default installation parameters. For more
information regarding configuration files, see “Using Configuration Files” (page 159).
The easiest way to create a client-specific custom configuration file is to start with one of the default
files provided by Ignite-UX. However, if you have previously installed a client, you can start with
a configuration file in the /var/opt/ignite/clients/client directories. It is best to use
one from a client similar to the one you want to install. You could use this as the basis for your
new configuration file.
The following is an example configuration file:
cfg "HP-UX B.11.11 archive"=TRUE
#
# setting _hp_cfg_detail_level to ipvs indicates that the file
# contains information about which cfg INDEX selection to be used,
# the variable settings, software selection settings, and system
# parameters.
_hp_cfg_detail_level="ipvs"
#
# Variable assignments
init _hp_pri_swap=68304K
init _hp_root_disk="2/0/1.5.0"
init _hp_sec_swap=0K
init _hp_root_grp_disks=1
init _hp_root_grp_striped="NO"
init_hp_locale="SET_NULL_LOCALE"
init_hp_keyboard="PS2_DIN_US_English"
init _hp_default_final_lan_dev="lan0"
init _hp_boot_dev_path="2/0/1.6.0"
#
# Software Selections
init sw_sel "English"=TRUE
#
# System/Networking Parameters
init _hp_custom_sys="Current System Parameters"
_hp_custom_sys help_text "Final System/Networking Parameters"
{
final system_name="server"
final ip_addr["lan0"]="10.2.75.14"
final netmask["lan0"]="255.255.248.0"
final dns_domain="xx.corp.com"
final dns_nameserver[0]="10.2.72.254"
TIMEZONE="MST7MDT"
is_net_info_temporary=TRUE
}
To customize this configuration file, change the final networking parameters in the example file to
the correct values for your client. For example:
final system_name="system11"
final ip_addr["lan0"]="10.2.75.193"
It is also possible to add kernel parameters to this file. See “Setting Installation Parameters
Dynamically” (page 175).
IMPORTANT: You should update the variable _hp_cfg_detail_level to reflect the parameters
that you have modified to indicate that they should be used by Ignite-UX; by default this variable
is set to ipvs. This variable is fully described in instl_adm(4).
To perform an automatic installation of a client using a custom configuration file, execute the
following steps on your Ignite-UX server:
