minor_number = number
Determines the logical volume number that is assigned to the associated logical volume which in
turn determines the minor number value for the device file. number may range from 0 to 255. If
the minor_number is not specified and the logical volume name is specified and is the form
lvolX, then the value X is used to determine the minor number. Otherwise, the value is assigned
in the order the volumes are created.
Volume Group Attributes
Volume groups may be either LVM or VxVM. Support for these two types of volume groups is release-
dependent.
usage = LVM
usage = VxVM
Determines type of volume group; the default is LVM.
Within the volume_group block, the following LVM attributes may be set. See vgcreate(1M) for
details on meanings and defaults. These attributes are ignored for VxVM volume groups.
max_physical_extents = number
Sets the maximum number of physical extents that may be allocated from any of the physical vol-
umes in the volume group.
max_logical_vols = number
Sets the maximum number of logical volumes that the volume group is allowed to contain.
max_physical_vols = number
Sets the maximum number of physical volumes that the volume group is allowed to contain.
physical_extent_size = number
Sets the number of megabytes in each physical extent, where number may range from 1 through
256.
minor_number = number
Sets the minor number of the volume group control file. Use of this option is cautioned if you do
not fully understand the consequences. The value of number may range from 0 to 255. If this
attribute is set, that number is used. Otherwise if the volume group name is of the form "vgNN"
and NN is in range and not already declared by a minor_number attribute, the value of NN is
used. Otherwise the first unused value in the acceptable range is used.
version = string
For HP-UX B.11.31 and later clients, this attribute specifies the version of the LVM volume group.
This attribute can be set to either "1.0" or "2.2". If the value of the attribute is "1.0", the volume
group would correspond to LVM version 1.0, and if the value of the attribute is "2.2", the volume
group would correspond to LVM version 2.2. If this attribute is not specified, the default LVM
version is 1.0.
With the addition of support for LVM 2.2 on B.11.31 in C.7.10, the following attribute may be set for an
LVM 2.2 volume group. See vgcreate(1M) for details.
max_volume_group_size = number
Sets the maximum size of the volume group, where number may range from 1 through
2147483647. This number is assumed to be in units of megabytes.
System Identity and Network Configuration
The configuration file may set attributes that control the default values for system identity and network con-
figuration. Most of these keywords may have values that are used during the install, and may have final
values that are applied to the system after the installation. This is to support situations when the client is
not being installed on the network of its final destination.
When keywords are not preceded with the final keyword, the information is used during the installation,
and may also be applied to the final client depending on the boolean value of the
