The configuration that used to exist before this variable for previous releases is no longer present. It

is no longer required with HP-UX 11i v3. Most of the configuration involved makes sure that 32bit-

only systems did not attempt to install 64bit HP-UX (and vise versa) - HP-UX 11i v3only supports

64bit systems.

_hp_os_bitness visible_if false

This variable allows you to control Hyper-Threading support on those HP Integrity servers that

support it. By default it is turned on if the system can support it. Note the introduction of a new

configuration language feature (similar to is_hppa and is_ia64) called is_ht_capable. If

you need to tune the kernel or install software based on whether a system supports Hyper-

Threading, you can use this new feature to do this.

# Add definition of _hp_ht_enable, to provide hook to enable

# hyperthreading on CPUs that support this for 11.31 and later. Provide an

# install-time method for configuring the HT firmware enabled/disabled

# state.

is_ht_capable {

enum _hp_ht_enable

_hp_ht_enable = {"true", "false"}

init _hp_ht_enable="true"

_hp_ht_enable help_text "Enable firmware hyperthreading"

} else {

_hp_ht_enable visible_if false

}

There have been significant changes to the per-release configuration file for HP-UX 11i v3, however

these changes have both reduced the size and complexity of the configuration file.

Special variables

Ignite-UX uses the following special variables to control aspects of installation or recovery, or to

modify the state of the final system. The descriptions of these variables come from the

instl_adm(4) manpage, with further explanation provided where possible. If the variable

appears directly in or impacts the Ignite-UX GUI, this information is also explained.

_hp_locale

The geocustoms user interface (UI) sets this string variable to the language locale that the user

has chosen. If set to the string ASK_AT_FIRST_BOOT then the geocustoms(1M) application is

invoked when the installation is complete, allowing the user to pick the desired language. (The

geocustoms application is not available prior to HP-UX 10.30). Setting the value to

SET_NULL_LOCALE leaves the system at default with no LANG variable set, which causes the

commands to use the internal messages that provide better performance.
