Ignite-UX (IUX) Frequently Asked Questions (July 2013)

are combined and parsed. If there are conflicting or duplicate
definitions, the order in which the files appear in the INDEX file
determines the precedence with the last file listed (typically
config.local) having precedence over all but the INSTALLFS
definitions.
A potential breakdown can occur if the client was previously
installed and the per client directory in /var/opt/ignite/clients
exists and is populated with the previously resolved configurations.
In this case, the previously resolved config.full has precedence.

Q: How do I preview configuration file changes?
A: DESCRIPTION: Fixing syntax problems with mod_kernels results in
statements
of the following form:
mod_kernel += "maxdsiz " + ${_maxdsiz}
There does not seem to be a way to preview the effects of these types
of statements. Can a comment be added to the config.full with the
string that was being output?
SOLUTION: The config.full file has the variable values replaced with
the real values so if you review this file, you should be able to see
what the real mod_kernel statement has become. In this case, you
would see the following:
mod_kernel += "maxdsiz 0"
Another option would be to have the configuration file push a shell
prior to the kernel build using a post_load_cmd:
post_load_cmd += "/sbin/sh;"

Q: Is there a way to set the configuration files to ignore the disk
warnings, which can prevent automated installations?
A: We do have an environment variable which should do what you need.
Look in instl_adm(4) for INST_ALLOW_WARNINGS. This can be used to
keep you from going interactive when warnings are received. You will
need to put the setting of this environment variable in INSTALLFS for
it to have effect. The line you would add to allow an automated
installation to proceed after the warning is as follows:
env_vars += "INST_ALLOW_WARNINGS=10"
