Installing HP-UX 11.0 and Updating HP-UX 10.x to 11.0 HP 9000 Computers Edition 1

Appendix C 247
Ignite-UX System Administration
Section 3: Automatic Installation
Defaults that must be specified with instl_adm(1M):
There are some network parameters that need to be known by the target
clients when they first boot. The command bootsys (or DHCP/BOOTP)
can supply the hostname and IP address; however, the netmask and
gateway need to be supplied in the ram-filesystem (INSTALLFS). This
can done by using the instl_adm(1m) command. The instl_adm command
has options to set netmask, gateway, IUX/tftp server, etc. Or you can
dump the current settings to a file and edit it, then load the settings
back. Just loading Ignite-UX sets some of the parameters.
For example, you may want to set the keyboard language so that it never
prompts you for it when booting from the console. The file you store using
instl_adm -f may look something like the following:
# instl_adm defaults: server=”15.2.72.150”
route_gateway[0]=”15.2.70.1”
route_destination[0]=”default”
netmask[]=”255.255.248.0”
# end instl_adm defaults.

Using the per-target client config file:
Until now, we have discussed specifying default parameters that all
target systems may use. If you would like to specify a specific
configuration for an individual target system, you may use the following
procedure.
When Ignite-UX begins an install session, it scans the directory
/var/opt/ignite/clients for a directory matching the LLA of the target
system. As an example, if the LLA of the target is 0x08000992E346,
Ignite-UX looks in /var/opt/ignite/clients/0x08000992E346 for
a file named “config”. Ignite-UX keeps the last configuration installed to
the respective system in this file so it can perform a repeat install.
If found, the configuration data in this file is used to overwrite the
default values. This file has the highest precedence over all other config
files listed in the INDEX file
WARNING Ignite-UX will write over this file at the end of the install, so
keep an original copy elsewhere.
