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

instl_adm(4) instl_adm(4)
sw_sels which contain locale keywords, the _hp_locale variable is set to the first value
of the locale of the first selected sw_sel.
_hp_min_swap
Integer variable used as the minimum size the primary swap volume may be reduced to if there is
not enough disk space for all other volumes. This value defaults to an amount that should allow
the system to boot and run HP-UX.
_hp_nfs_mount_opts
String variable set in the *INSTALLFS file and used to supply additional options to the NFS
mounts that are performed during the installation. This is intended for use when the default
options are not appropriate for your network. See mount_nfs(1M) for valid options.
Note: When multiple options are passed to mount_nfs(1M), they must be passed as a comma-
separated list following the -o option.
To set the read and write NFS buffer size to 1KB:
init _hp_nfs_mount_opts="-orsize=1024,wsize=1024"
Note that this variable is not used during make_net_recovery operations. If you require
these special options in order for make_net_recovery to function correctly, see
make_net_recovery(1M).
_hp_nfs_mount_retries
Integer variable used to modify the default number of times that the NFS mounts are retried before
failing. If this variable is not set, the mounts will be retried four times. If you need to change this
default, this variable should be specified in the *INSTALLFS file. For example, to set the num-
ber of retries to 8:
init _hp_nfs_mount_retries=8
_hp_os_bitness
String variable used to set either "32" or "64" when an operating system is chosen. This is nor-
mally performed in a configuration file by keying off of the sw_sel for a 32 or 64-bit operating
system. The sw_sel statements for certain applications rely on this variable to indicate which
version of the application to installation based on the operating system.
_hp_pri_swap
Integer variable that may be set in the UI to indicate how much swap the user desires to have allo-
cated on the root disk/volume-group. The default LVM primary swap volume is defined as a size
range with _hp_pri_swap being the desired size and _hp_min_swap being the minimum
size.
_hp_primary_path
String variable set during the initial startup of Ignite-UX on the client. This variable is set to the
client’s primary boot path as set in stable storage and read with setboot. If the client’s primary
boot path is incorrectly set to a non-existent device, _hp_primary_path is set to the empty
string ("").
_hp_root_disk
String variable set by the UI to contain the hardware path or device specifier of the disk you have
chosen to be the root disk. The value is initialized to the value of _hp_primary_path in
/opt/ignite/data/Rel_release/config and may be overridden in other configuration
files. If the initial value is not specified in the configuration file, it would default to the disk with
the hardware path having the highest SCSI priority.
_hp_root_grp_disks
Integer variable to indicate how many disks to add to the root volume group.
_hp_root_grp_striped
String variable of possible values "YES" and "NO" to indicate if LVM data striping should be used
on all disks in the root volume group if there are multiple disks in the root group.
