Options
ignite client recognizes the following options:
-a attribute=value
Used to specify attributes for operation.
The modify minor mode supports setting one attribute, client_name. Setting this value
allows you to change the display name of an Ignite-UX client.
The add minor mode supports several attributes for specifying information about the
client to add.
mac_addr
MAC (LLA) hardware lan address. This attribute is required.
uuid Universal Unique ID. If specified, future client operations can be done
by specifying the client by its uuid value.
ip_addr
IP address for bootptab entry. If specified, this value is used in the
bootptab entry (ip field). If not specified, dhcp will be used to find IP
address for client.
netmask
Netmask for bootptab entry. If specified, this value is used as the sm
field in the bootptab entry.
gateway
Gateway address for bootptab entry. If specified, this value is used as
the gw field in the bootptab entry.
release
OS release for bootptab entry (e.g. B.11.31). If specified, then the bf
(boot file) field in the bootptab entry will be set to the release specific
boot file, allowing non-interactive network boots onto the correct OS
release install environment. If release attribute is not specified, the -c
option, specifying a configuration clause, will be consulted and an sup-
porting OS release will be configured. If neither -a release or -c is
specified, then the default boot file will be configured.
arch System architecture of client. Accepted values are "PA" and "IA". If
no value is specified, "IA" is assumed.
The set_status minor mode supports the following attributes:
job Job id to operate on. This is a single word string that is used for the
filename to store the job status in. The file is created under
/var/opt/ignite/clients/<client>/jobs/<jobID>
add_step
Specification for an expected step. The format of the step specification
is:
’step-name points description text’
Where step-name is a single word to identify the step. points is an inte-
ger that indicates the weighting of this step. description text is one or
more words to describe the step.
step Name of step to add status for. Must be used in combination with
progress and status attributes. The exception is if the step is
either START,orDONE, which are used to simply mark the job as in
progress or finished, and will record the current time for the attributes:
start_time_epoch and end_time_epoch.
