Ignite-UX Reference (March 2010, B3921-90005)

instl_adm(4) instl_adm(4)
The Ignite-UX process uses this information should it need to rewrite the configuration file. The
configuration file is rewritten both by the UI and by the client installation process. In these cases,
the process uses _hp_cfg_detail_level to determine how much information is represented
by the configuration file and so may write the minimal amount of information, and then allow the
rest be supplied by the other configuration files in the INDEX file set.
The option characters recognized in the _hp_cfg_detail_level string that may be found in
a client-specific config file are:
’i’ Index cfg clause selection. (File that containing the line indicating which INDEX file
entry should be used.)
’v’ Variable and use model settings.
’s’ Software selection settings.
’S’ Modified software selection definitions.
’r’ Modified software source definitions (depot information).
’f’ Modified file system information.
’p’ System identity information.
’t’ post_config_script selections settings.
’h’ Hardware control information (hw_instance_num statements).
’l’ Other control information (for example, global mod_kernel statements).
For example, the line: _hp_cfg_detail_level="ivsp" in a client configuration file would
indicate the file contains information about which cfg INDEX selection should be used, the
variable settings, software selection settings, and system parameters.
_hp_console_verbosity
Integer variable used to control the verboseness of output to the console. If set to 0 (zero), mes-
sages to the console are turned off during the installation. If set to 6, messages will be printed to
the console even when the ignite UI is controlling the installation (control_from_server=true).
If not set, or set to 5, the messages normally are printed to the console except when con-
trol_from_server is set to true (which is the case when using the ignite UI com-
mand on the server).
_hp_custom_sys
String variable used in conditional statements surrounding network and system identity informa-
tion when the UI writes a configuration file. This variable may be used in conditionals in configu-
ration files to define multiple sets of network parameters that may be selected from in the Addi-
tional screen. You may see how this variable is used by performing a "Save As" operation during
an installation after modifying the parameters on the "System" tab and viewing the resulting file in
the /var/opt/ignite/data/saved_cfgs directory.
_hp_default_cur_lan_dev
String variable set to the LAN device that is enabled during the Ignite-UX process. It is used
when a LAN device is omitted from keywords that may accept a LAN interface specifier. This
defaults to the interface that you chose during the install, or in the non-interactive case, the LAN
device from which the client booted. If this was not a network boot, the default is lan0.
_hp_default_final_lan_dev
String variable similar to _hp_default_cur_lan_dev, used when the network information
is specified by using the final keyword. It defaults to _hp_default_cur_lan_dev if not
set. The IP address associated with the LAN device specified by this variable is used for the entry
in the /etc/hosts file for the client’s host name.
_hp_disable_lvm_pvlink_all
Boolean-string variable that controls whether all alternate paths to disks should be automatically
added to LVM volume groups. By default, all alternate paths (up to the maximum allowed) will be
