Ignite-UX Reference (March 2010, B3921-90005)
instl_adm(4) instl_adm(4)
added. Setting this variable to "true" will cause only the paths explicitly specified for the volume
group in the configuration file to be added. This variable has no effect when installing B.11.31
and later. Starting at B.11.31, Ignite-UX uses the agile device files to configure LVM, which takes
advantage of all paths to a disk.
_hp_disable_sas_disk_reorder
Boolean-string variable that controls whether SAS disk devices will be forced to have instance
numbers assigned in order of the devices’ physical location. The ordering will be forced by
default, which results in more predictable hardware paths between installs. If set to "true", then the
forced ordering is not done and the instance number assignment (and thus the hardware path) is
not dependent on the physical location (and can be somewhat unpredictable). To take effect, this
variable must be set in the *INSTALLFS file using instl_adm.
_hp_disk_layout
String variable set by the UI to indicate which disk layout (LVM, whole-disk, etc.) you selected.
As configurations are saved, the list of possible values is increased to contain any modified lay-
outs.
_hp_efi_partition_size
Integer variable set by the UI to indicate the size of the HP-UX EFI boot partition on Ita-
nium®-based clients. This disk partition contains loader software and other utilities used to boot
the HP-UX operating system. This value defaults to a size that allows some space for additional
boot partition content in future HP-UX releases, and is adjusted to the minimum EFI boot partition
size if set to zero or a value less than the minimum. This variable is supported beginning with HP-
UX B.11.23, and is only supported on Itanium®-based systems. On HP-UX B.11.31 and later, the
actual size will be slightly less than this value due to compliance with the UEFI standards in the
idisk command.
_hp_service_partition_size
Integer variable set by the UI to indicate the size of the HP Service Partition on Itanium®-based
systems. This disk partition contains diagnostics software, saved client and hardware state data,
and other utilities used to verify and update hardware functionality. This value defaults to a size
expected by the diagnostics software. A zero value indicates that no HP Service Partition should
be created. This variable is adjusted to the minimum HP Service Partition size if set to a non-zero
value less minimum. This variable is supported starting with HP-UX B.11.23 and only supported
on Itanium®-based systems.
_hp_force_autoboot
String variable used to modify the behavior of Ignite-UX behavior with respect to stable store’s
autoboot flag. The Ignite-UX configuration process has two parts separated by a reboot. By default
_hp_force_autoboot is set to YES, guaranteeing that the Ignite-UX autoboot flag is set dur-
ing the installation process and then reset to its previous state (if necessary) at the end of the instal-
lation. If _hp_force_autoboot=NO, Ignite-UX will not touch the autoboot flag in stable
storage. Note that this may mean that you will have to perform a manual boot from the primary
path between the two parts of the Ignite-UX installation.
_hp_force_setboot_path
Boolean-string variable for installs of HPUX B.11.31 and later, when set to "true", the lunpath
hardware path (for example 0/1/1/0.0x1.0x0) that is selected as the root disk will be supplied to the
setboot command. When set to "false", the persistent device special file (for example
/dev/rdisk/disk3) will be supplied to the setboot command. For more details on setboot behav-
ior see setboot(1M). The default is "false" if not explicitly set.
_hp_loadfile_use_nfs
When set to "true", causes Ignite-UX to use NFS instead of TFTP to transfer files from the Ignite-
UX server. The default is "false" if not explicitly set.
