Create an Ignite-UX configuration file that specifies a cpio archive and compress it to the Ignite-UX
server, default destination directory, and default file name:
# instl_adm defaults:
server="15.1.50.74"
netmask[]="0xfffff800"
route_gateway[0]="15.1.48.1"
route_destination[0]="default"
# end instl_adm defaults.

WARNINGS
Because of the impact make_sys_image can have on a system when running at level 2, it is recom-
mended that no applications be running and no normal users be logged onto the system while it is being
archived. If you do not stop all applications while make_sys_image is running at level 2, the system
may experience application outages because of the configuration changes made temporarily to the system.
You should consider rebooting the system after running make_sys_image at level 2 in case the configu-
ration changes have impacted any software you did not halt during the archival process.
If /etc/hosts is being used for hostname resolution, then the -s argument cannot be a hostname. It
must be an IP address in this case.
