DESCRIPTION
instl_adm is used on a network install boot server to set, modify, or display the default parameters used
when a client connects to the server to install the HP-UX operating system. instl_adm may be used to
specify the network parameters using the −h, −s, −g, −m, −t, and −S options. An informative message
may be given to install users by using the -a option. More complex configuration parameters may be
stored in a configuration_file and applied or tested for syntax by using the -f and -T options respectively.
(See instl_adm(4) for details on the syntax of configuration_file.)
Options
instl_adm recognizes the following options:
−d Display the current configuration. The format of this information is described
in instl_adm(4).
The standard output resulting from the -d option may be stored in a file,
edited, and reapplied using the -f option.
-f configuration_file
The contents of configuration_file will be treated as configuration information
and by default is copied into the first 8K of the *INSTALLFS file. If the -T
option is used, only the syntax of the file is checked. If the -c option is used,
it is copied into the given LIF_volume as the file named CONFIG. The syntax
of configuration_file is always checked before it is applied.
−F filesystem | LIF_volume
Specifies that instl_adm should modify/display the configuration stored in
filesystem or LIF_volume. If the specified file is a file system image,
instl_adm operates on the first 8KB of that image. If the specified file is a
LIF volume (like a bootable tape/CD image) and the -c option is not given,
instl_adm operates on the first 8KB of all LIF files matching
*INSTALLFS. If the specified file is a LIF file and the -c option is given, the
LIF file entitled CONFIG is operated on in totality.
If the -F option is not specified or if the -F option is used to specify any of
the *INSTALLFS files under /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release, all
*INSTALLFS files under /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release are updated
to have the same first 8KB during a modification operation. Similarly, when
operating on a LIF volume, all *INSTALLFS files will be updated to have the
same first 8KB.
−h hostname Specifies the default hostname to be supplied to the client during a network
install. The IP address of the hostname given is determined and stored along
with the host name. If hostname is given as an IP address, it is looked up and
stored as the default. Use this option only if a specific host name and IP
address are reserved for install purposes. This should be a temporary IP address
used only during installs. Once the client installation is complete, it must be
