# cp –p /opt/ignite/data/examples/B.11.31.archives.cfg \
/scratch/staging/vm.cfg
You’ll need to customize the configuration file for your archive. Several modifications of the
(is_ia64) section are necessary. For example, in the vm.cfg file, change:
archive_path = "B.11.31_archive_IA.gz"
to:
archive_path = "vm.gz"
Then replace all of the impacts entries with those from those from the impacts.txt file (created
above). Unless you are also creating a configuration for PA-RISC, you can remove the (is_hppa)
section from the configuration file.
c) Creating a copy of the LIF volume
The ISO image must contain a LIF volume. Execute the following to create it:
# /opt/ignite/bin/make_medialif -a -r B.11.31 \
-f /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/config \
-f /scratch/staging/vm.cfg \
-l /scratch/staging/vm.lifimage
Note the specification of two configuration files with the –f option. These are concatenated
together for use by make_medialif.
d) Copying the EFI image
Itanium-based systems, including Integrity VMs, require an EFI image. Thus, the EFI image
must be copied to the directory where the ISO image is being staged:
# cp -p /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.31/EFI_CD_image /scratch/staging
e) Creating the ISO image
Now that everything is in place, the ISO image is created with the mkisofs command. Note that
we use the Itanium-based variation of this command.
# /opt/ignite/lbin/mkisofs \
-D -R -U -max-iso9660-filenames \
-no-emul-boot \
-b EFI_CD_image \
-eltorito-alt-boot \
-no-emul-boot \
-b vm.lifimage \
-o /scratch/B.11.31.iso \
/scratch/staging/
Note the repeat of the option ‘-no-emul-boot’ is required for the subsequent ‘-b’ option.
