instl_adm(4) instl_adm(4)
_hp_ht_enable
Boolean-string variable that indicates whether to enable HyperThreading on HyperThread-capable
systems, as reported by the is_ht_capable variable. Available on HP-UX B.11.31 or later.
_hp_ignore_prior_config
Boolean-string variable that can be used to prevent the use of the config file in the client’s
/var/opt/ignite/clients/<client> directory. When set to "true" any pre-existing config file will be
renamed to config.ignore and then be ignored. The user interface will not give any choice
to use the prior config file when this variable is set to "true". The default is for the client’s
config file to be used. To take effect, this variable must be set in the *INSTALLFS file using
instl_adm.
_hp_ignore_sw_impact
Integer variable that may be set to 1 to disable all effects the impacts statements declared in the
software selections on the volume size calculations. This may be helpful to ensure Ignite-UX does
not automatically modify the file system volume sizes.
_hp_keyboard
String variable the UI sets to the keyboard language/mapping desired. The kbdlang keyword
used for this in past releases is equivalent to this variable. Setting this variable in the
*INSTALLFS file using instl_adm prevents the system from prompting for a keyboard type
during the installation. This information is stored in /etc/kbdlang on the final client.
_hp_lanadmin_args
If your network requires the default attributes of a lan interface be changed via the lanadmin
command to operate correctly, you can specify the arguments to the lanadmin command via
this variable. This setting must be performed in an installation file system using the instl_adm
command. For more information on the options available for lanadmin, refer to the lanad-
min(1M) manual page.
Any changes made with this variable are in effect during the installation only; they are not applied
to the system permanently.
To set the speed and duplex values for a 100BT interface to 100 full duplex:
( lan[].driver ˜ "btlan" ) {
_hp_lanadmin_args="-X 100FD"
}
In the example configuration above, when Ignite-UX finds lan[].driver, it uses the variable
_hp_default_cur_lan_dev as the index.
Note: All lan interfaces that support autonegotiation of the link speed and duplex values will do so
when running the installation kernel. If you have 100BT lan interfaces and switches with ports
hard set to 100 full duplex rather than autonegotiate, you will end up with a speed and duplex mis-
match. You must use the above configuration in an installation file system.
1000BT interfaces can autonegotiate their speed and duplex values; however, if you have a switch
set to operate only at 1000 full duplex, a 1000BT lan interface should automatically operate at that
speed and duplex. In this situation, there is no need to use _hp_lanadmin_args. Gigabit eth-
ernet over fibre can operate only at 1000 full duplex, so no configuration is necessary.
Note: Do not specify a PPA value in the _hp_lanadmin_args variable; Ignite-UX adds this
automatically to the correct lan interface.
_hp_locale
String variable the UI sets to the language locale the user chose. If set to the string
ASK_AT_FIRST_BOOT then the geocustoms application is invoked when the installation is
complete to allow you to choose the desired language. Setting the value to SET_NULL_LOCALE
leaves the system to default with no LANG variable set, in which case commands will use the
internal messages that provide better performance. If _hp_locale is not set, it is set internally
to the first value of the locale keyword for a selected sw_sel. If there are multiple selected
