Installation With Separate Configuration
NOTE Because deferring configuration of OS software and patches can leave
the system in an unusable state, do not use this technique with
HP-supplied software.
If you create your own software that includes configuration scripts to be
performed automatically after installation, performing the configuration
separately can increase the reliability of the overall installation process.
To install without configuring, set the defer_configure option to true
for swinstall. Then, after all the installs have completed successfully, you
can run the configure scripts for all targets at once by using the swconfig
command.
