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

make_sys_image(1M) make_sys_image(1M)
−l 1 | 2 Level of system identity clean-up:
1 None (overridden to 2 if the −f option is used).
2 Reset network and login information. Exclude device files, log files, and
contents of /stand except /stand/system and /stand/kernrel.
Remove hardware specific drivers from the /stand/system that gets
archived. Files reset to newconfig state:
/.profile
/etc/rc.config.d/hpetherconf
/etc/rc.config.d/hpfcgsc_lanconf
/etc/rc.config.d/hpfcmsconf
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
/etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons
/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs
/etc/rc.config.d/mailservs
/etc/rc.config.d/xfs
/etc/hosts
/etc/mail/sendmail.cw
/etc/ntp.conf
/etc/vue/config
/var/adm/sw/security
The default level is 2. If any of the above is a directory, then all files below that
directory will be reset. However permissions will be preserved as to what the
original file had in those cases where the original file permissions differ from
the newconfig version.
−n filename The filename of the archive file other than the default host name. If the -d
option is a device file, the -n option is ignored.
Note: When the -n option is used, a .Z or .gz is not automatically
appended to the file name; it must be added manually.
−r remsh_user remsh user name. This is the user name used for remsh commands. If this
option is omitted, the current user name is used.
−m c | t | p Archive method: c for cpio, p for pax, and t for tar. tar is the
default.
−c z | g | n Compression method: z for compress, g for gzip,orn for no compres-
sion. gzip is the default.
−a archive_size The calculated size required for the archive may be passed to this command.
The archive size must be a decimal number. The archive size is usually created
by running the /opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander -s command.
This will save one call to list_expander during make_sys_image’s
execution.
−R Run make_sys_image in recovery mode. This will set the level of clean up to 1,
overriding the -l option value. This option is required if using the -g option.
−g file_list The indicated file contains a list of files to be archived. This list should be gen-
erated by a call to the list_expander command. The file may either con-
tain the name of the file or directory only, or it may contain an entire line of
information in the form of: [<fl_name_len>] <file_name> [<mode>
<last-mod> <bytes> <blocks> [<cksum>]]. The -R option
must precede the -g option.
−t y|n|o|p Test for the existence of a needed pax patch.
