Ignite-UX Custom Configuration files

Configuration files and INDEX files
This section discusses the contents of configuration files and INDEX files to help you understand the
purpose of the files, not to document what is occurring in the files.
The INDEX file
The file /var/opt/ignite/INDEX is used during cold-installs. The following example only has
one cfg clause; usually there are more. Each cfg clause defines a series of configuration files,
along with a description, that together form a cohesive configuration that is used to install a system.
$ pwd
/var/opt/ignite
$ cat INDEX
# /var/opt/ignite/INDEX
# This file is used to define the Ignite-UX configurations
# and to define which config files are associated with each
# configuration. See the ignite(5), instl_adm(4), and
# manage_index(1M) man pages for details.
#
# NOTE: The manage_index command is used to maintain this file.
# Comments, logic expressions and formatting changes are not
# preserved by manage_index.
#
# WARNING: User comments (lines beginning with '#' ), and any user
# formatting in the body of this file are _not_ preserved
# when the version of Ignite-UX is updated.

cfg "HP-UX B.11.11 Default" {
description "This selection supplies the default system configuration
that HP supplies for the B.11.11 release."
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/config"
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/hw_patches_cfg"
"/var/opt/ignite/config.local"
}
If the cfg clause in the INDEX file were to be the default cfg clause (in a non-interactive
installation this would cause the cfg clause to be selected for installation by default) it would look
like the following:
cfg "HP-UX B.11.11 Default" {
description "This selection supplies the default system configuration
that HP supplies for the B.11.11 release."
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/config"
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/hw_patches_cfg"
"/var/opt/ignite/config.local"
}=TRUE
Of course, the INDEX file is never to be edited manually; instead, the manage_index command
should be used to maintain this file. The actual command needed to set a cfg clause to be the
default clause is as follows:
# manage_index -e -c "HP-UX B.11.11 Default"
The manage_index command operates on the /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file by default, so
the INDEX file does not need to be specified on the command line.
