Ignite-UX Custom Configuration files

The cfg clause needs the following information:

1. A name (for example, HP-UX B.11.11 Default)

2. A description (see the description keyword)

3. A list of one or more configuration files referenced by this cfg clause

4. One or more configuration files that define software that may be installed

When a cfg clause is selected (it has been set to TRUE and nothing of higher precedence

changes this), its configuration files are processed in order and evaluated. This turns the set of

configuration files into something that a client can use to install itself.

The make_net_recovery configuration files

A make_net_recovery session always creates the same configuration files, and you can see

what they are by looking at a cfg clause in a CINDEX file:

cfg "2003-10-08,12:45 Recovery Archive" {

description "Recovery Archive"

"recovery/2003-10-08,12:45/system_cfg"

"recovery/2003-10-08,12:45/control_cfg"

"recovery/2003-10-08,12:45/archive_cfg"

}

The three configuration files are as follows:

1. system_cfg –-

This file is produced by the save_config command. It contains the file system layout,

networking information, and hardware instance numbers for the system.

2. control_cfg –

This file contains definitions of Ignite-UX variables and the commands needed to import volume

groups back into the final system.

3. archive_cfg –

This file contains the software definition of the archive that is used for recovery (including impacts

keywords, etc.).

The CINDEX file provides a higher level of precedence than the INDEX file, so any cfg clause

selected in the CINDEX file is used in preference to anything in the INDEX file in a non-interactive

installation for a system. In an interactive installation, the recovery archive is automatically selected

for installation so you can manually select another configuration for installation on the Basic tab in

the Ignite-UX GUI.

The make_tape_recovery configuration files

The make_tape_recovery command still creates the same three configuration files that

make_net_recovery does. For example:

# pwd

This cfg clause is a default clause set up by Ignite-UX. This clause, as shown, does not have any configuration files that

define software to be installed. Therefore, it is incomplete and cannot be used to install a system.
