2) Edit the defaults file adding following lines:
run_ui=false
control_from_server=false
env_vars+="INST_ALLOW_WARNINGS=1"
With this step the interactive user interface has been switched off and the client will be
installed automatically when booting from the network.
3) It is recommended to make further settings, because during the installation, no parameters
can be adjusted like system name and IP address.
Note: Do not forget to take this option out of the configuration after performing the
installation of the target client. Additionally ensure that in the
/etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab, only the entry for the client to be installed is available.
Also ensure that no one else uses the Ignite-UX server while these parameters are set!
Example: Add following parameters:
system_name="blubber"
ip_addr="1.2.3.4"
timezone="MET-1METDST"
For further information about possible parameter setting, see the instl_adm(4) manpage.
4) When done with all necessary settings, change the boot image INSTALLFS after checking the
syntax:
# /usr/bin/cd /opt/ignite/boot
# /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm -T -f /var/opt/ignite/defaults
If the syntax is correct, edit the boot image
# /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm -f /var/opt/ignite/defaults
5) Before starting the non-interactive installation, verify the used config files (for the Golden
Image, SD-UX depots, etc.) before in interactive mode to ensure there are no syntax errors.
6) Please see chapter "Booting and installing an HP-UX client" to install the client.
