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

instl_adm(1M) instl_adm(1M)
assigned its own unique IP address.
Supplying this default is not recommended if multiple installs are to execute
simultaneously, because only one active host may occupy a giv en IP address at
any giv en time.
The use of a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is the rec-
ommended method of supplying a default host name and IP address to installa-
tion clients. See the bootpd(1M) manpage for details on DHCP.
−s SD_server[:depot_directory]
Specifies the default Software Distributor (SD) server and depot directory that
is to be used during the install as the source for the swinstall(1M), or swm(1M)
commands. The SD server and depot information is normally retrieved from
the configuration files produced by the make_config(1M) command, which
overrides the default supplied by this option.
It is recommended that the make_config command be used to update the
configuration files corresponding to the associated depots instead of using this
option.
−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 given, 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).
−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 instl_adm 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.
−S dhcp_server Restricts the system used as the DHCP server for obtaining networking infor-
mation to the one specified. If not set, any system that responds with either a
BOOTP or DHCP response will be used.
−a message_file|-
instl_adm stores the contents of message_file for use as the opening mes-
sage displayed to users performing an install. If this option is omitted, any cur-
rent message is kept. To remove the message completely, use an empty file
such as /dev/null as the message_file. If the − character is given for mes-
sage_file, instl_adm prompts the user to enter the message on the command
line. Once the message is entered, Ctrl-D (end of file) should be typed to end
the message.
−c Causes instl_adm to operate on the LIF file named CONFIG instead of the
first 8KB of the file named *INSTALLFS. This option is only valid when the
-F option is used to instruct instl_adm to operate on an install tape image.
The install tape image is a logical interchange format file. (See lif (4).)
On a tape, CD-ROM or DVD, the CONFIG file is the location of the standard
configuration shipped by Hewlett-Packard Company. This file defines the
