Ignite-UX Custom Configuration files

This section describes these configuration files and explains what is happening and why certain

things have been done in certain ways.

The release-specific configuration file

The config file defines all of the file system and volume management configurations for the

release (and a few other things).

# config:

# (c) Copyright Hewlett-Packard Company 1994

# This file contains the default system definitions used during a

# cold-install of HP-UX. This file should not be modified. If

# modifications are needed, the file "config.local" should be modified

# instead.

# See the instl_adm(4) man page for details.

# Changes to this file will not be preserved if the fileset is re-installed.

# If you are editing this file via the advanced options during a

# cold-install, then notice that the "config.local" contents are appended

# to the end of this file.

The release keyword is probably the single-most important keyword in an Ignite-UX configuration

file. This keyword must be set or else any installation of HP-UX is likely to fail or not work properly.

Ignite-UX has no idea what version of HP-UX it is installing unless it is set.

As of Ignite-UX C.6.0.x, the release keyword is checked against the value of the

_hp_ikernel_os_release variable (the client creates the value of this variable in the

host.info file). If the HP-UX release in the release keyword is not supported by the kernel

version given in _hp_ikernel_os_release the installation is not allowed to proceed and the

following error appears:

ERROR: The version of HP-UX you have chosen to install on the system

(B.11.23) is not supported by the version of the Ignite-UX install

kernel that the system booted (B.11.11). You will need to reboot the

target system from an install kernel matching the desired release

from the menu at the console. If using the bootsys command, use the

'-R' option to specify the install kernel version.

Table 2 shows the different HP-UX releases, beginning with Ignite-UX C.7.3.x, which can be

installed with the different versions of an installation kernel

Table 2

This assumes that you have installed the necessary filesets to support those HP-UX releases.
