bootsys(1M) bootsys(1M)

-l sw-sel=true| false

One or more -l options may be supplied to modify the default software that is selected

for loading by the set of clients being installed. This is useful when automating installa-

tions where using just the -i option to select the conﬁguration does not give enough

control. An example command line usage of this option is:

bootsys -l golden image1=true \

−l golden image2=false myclient

-V var=value

One or more -V options may be supplied to set a value to a variable. The possible values

may be a number, a number followed by a size suffix, or a string. A size sufﬁx can

be K or KB for kilobytes, or M or MB for megabytes. An example command line usage

of this option is:

bootsys -V foo1=fooval -V foo2=200MB myclient

-s grace

Causes bootsys to use shutdown with the speciﬁed grace period (in seconds). Nor-

mally bootsys uses the reboot -q command and reboots the system immediately

with no warning to users.

-S Directs bootsys to use ssh based protocols instead of remsh based protocols when

communicating with remote systems. For more information, see the section Using

SSH with bootsys.

-t install_tftp_server

Speciﬁes the default system to be used as the Ignite-UX install server. The

install_tftp_server is normally the same system that is being used as the boot server,

which is normally the same as the system on which bootsys is run. install_tftp_server

is a system that has the Ignite-UX product loaded and is conﬁgured with tftp(1) access to

the ﬁles listed under FILES.

-g gateway

Speciﬁes the default IP address for the gateway system through which the client system

may reach the install_tftp_server and the SD_server system. (See route(1M)).

If no default gateway is speciﬁed, the default is the same as the client host’s IP address

and wild-card routing is performed (on networks that support it).

-m netmask

Speciﬁes the default netmask for the client system to use in reaching the install and SD

server systems. This is necessary if your network uses subnetworks. The netmask is the

same as what is supplied to the ifconﬁg command (see ifconﬁg(1M)). netmask may be

supplied either in dot notation (for example, 255.255.248.0) or as a hexadecimal number

with a leading 0x (such as, 0xfffff80).

client

client:IP_address

Speciﬁes the host name(s) of the clients to be rebooted using Ignite-UX. If the client

should use a different IP address when rebooted, or if the client’s IP address cannot be

obtained using nslookup, then it can be speciﬁed using the second syntax shown.

-c Ignite-UX_Server

Directs bootsys to execute in "client" or "local" mode. Thus, instead of operating

remotely on one or more clients, bootsys contacts the speciﬁed Ignite-UX_Server, and

then performs a local reboot. All other options are processed normally.
