DESCRIPTION
make_ipf_tape creates an ANSI labeled bootable tape for an Integrity system. This tape contains all the
required boot and install components for the system that the tape is created on. It does not contain the
recovery archive.
Errors are always logged to standard error.
Options
make_ipf_tape recognizes the following options:
−f config_file Specifies an Ignite-UX config file that will go to the CONFIG in the LIF vol-
ume. If multiple -f options are given, the specified files are concatenated into
CONFIG in the order they appear on the command line. (This CONFIG file is
referenced in a cfg clause in an Ignite-UX INDEX file also placed in the LIF
volume; this cfg clause uses a default description string.) Either this
option or one of the −F, and −c options is required.
−F config_file Specifies an Ignite-UX config file similar to −f, but creates multiple CON-
FIG1,2,... LIF files in the LIF volume, each with a corresponding cfg clause in
the INDEX file whose tag-string is based on −C options intermixed with −F
options. Either this option or one of the −f, and −c options is required.
−c cfg_clause Specifies an Ignite-UX cfg clause (tag-string) in the
/var/opt/ignite/data/INDEX file from which to get config file infor-
mation. (Enclose cfg_clause in quotes if it contains whitespace.) All con-
fig files listed in this clause are concatenated together in the order specified in
the INDEX file to form a single config file named CONFIG in the LIF volume.
If there is a description for this cfg clause, it is preserved in the INDEX file
in the LIF volume; otherwise a default is provided. Either this option or one of
the −f, and −F options is required.
−C cfg_clause Specifies the tag-string to use in the INDEX file in the LIF volume for the cfg
clause that references the CONFIG file (or with −F, the next CONFIG1,2,...
file). (Enclose cfg_clause in quotes if it contains whitespace.) With one
or more -f options, the default tag-string is "HP-UX release Default", where
release is as described in the -r option. With the -c option, the default tag-
string is the same as the one specified with -c.
−d tape_device_file
Specifies a tape drive with full path name. By default, the non-rewind device
file /dev/rmt/0mn will be used.
