-o 32|64v|64w|IA
Specifies whether the LIF volume (boot image) should support hardware (install
kernel) type 32-bit (PA-RISC), 64-bit (V-class PA-RISC), wide 64-bit (PA-
RISC), or Itanium®-based. The default is to match the system on which the
command is run. For convenience, 64 may be used as a synonym for 64v,
and any of ia, ipf,orIPF may be used as a synonym for IA. This option
cannot be combined with the -a option.
Note: Incompatible -r and -o options or equivalent default values cause an
error report. The -o 32 and -o 64v types are only supported by HP-UX
OS release B.11.11. The -o IA type is only supported by HP-UX OS
releases B.11.23 and higher.
−a Specifies that all boot kernel and RAM file system files found in
/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release should be included, not just the pair
specified with the -o option or matching the system by default. This can
increase the size of the LIF volume. If any RAM file system file other than
INSTALLFS is a symbolic link to INSTALLFS, this is preserved in the LIF
volume. This option cannot be combined with the -o option.
−s script_file Specifies a script to include in a SCRIPTS file in the LIF volume. Multiple
-s options may be specified. The default script files, which are always
included, are listed in the FILES section. All scripts are packaged using tar,
and then compressed using gzip, before being put into the SCRIPTS file. A
script_file must be specified as an absolute path name. Scripts defined as
described in the Command and Script Execution Hooks section of
instl_adm(4) must be provided here or with the -S option.
−S Specifies that all script files found in both /var/opt/ignite/scripts
and /opt/ignite/data/scripts should be included in the SCRIPTS
file. All script files found there are combined with any -s script arguments
and packaged in the manner previously described.
−l LIF_file Specifies where the resulting LIF volume (boot image) file is to be written. The
default path is /var/opt/ignite/local/uxinstlf.recovery.You
must have write access to this file, but need not necessarily be superuser.
−v Specifies that the command perform a lifls -l on the resulting LIF file
upon success. It also displays the location of the image file, the release, and
configuration.
−V Includes the /opt/ignite/Version file as a VERSION file in the LIF
volume.
−R Includes the /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release/RECCMDS expert recov-
ery commands file (and/or RECCMDSIA for IA systems) as a RECCMDS
(and/or RECCMDSIA) file in the LIF volume, according to which kernel plus
RAM file system files are selected.
−d tmpdir Specifies that the directory tmpdir be used to store all the temporary files used
by make_medialif. The default is /var/tmp. The disk space require-
ments in this directory vary somewhat, but typically 100KB of free disk space is
necessary.
−m Specifies the creation of a minimal LIF volume (boot image) file. This file is
sufficient to boot and contact an Ignite-UX net server. Unless the −o option is
used, this "boot helper" media contains all boot kernel and RAM file system
files found in /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release, similar to the -a option,
plus the ISL, AUTO, and HPUX files, but no INDEX, CONFIG, INSTCMDS*,
SYSCMDS*,orSCRIPTS files. If any RAM file system file other than
