5.2.5 Registering Linux and PSP dependency scripts
The difference between a Linux script and a PSP dependency script is that scripts that are
registered in the repository as a PSP Dependency Script item type are made available for
use during the PSP installation.
Scripts that are registered in the repository as a Linux script item type are:
• Deployed manually to managed systems from the Tools→Command Line Tools→Run
Script... menu item, and .
• Deployed before and after the capture deployment of a Linux image from a managed server
• Deployed before and after the deployment of a captured Linux image to a managed server.
To register a script in the repository, follow these steps:
1. Select the following menu item from the HP Insight Control user interface:
Options→IC-Linux→Manage Repository
2. Select New.
3. Next to the Item Type field, select either Linux Script or PSP Dependency Script.
4. Select Next.
5. Supply a name and description for the script. The script name must end with a .sh extension.
Because the value you supply for the script name is used to create the script directory in the
repository, the name cannot contain spaces, cannot be blank, and must use only the following
characters:
• Lowercase letters a through z
• Uppercase letters A through Z
• Numbers 0 (zero) through 9
• Hyphens (-), periods (.), and underscores (_)
The name of the file you copy to the repository must be the same as the name of the item
registered. For information about the importance of choosing unique names for items you
are registering in the repository, see Section 5.1.3 (page 50).
