Exploring DRD Rehosting in HP-UX 11i v2 and 11i v3 (July 2010)

SYSINFO_MAC_ADDRESS[0]=< MAC from Virtual Connect profile in hex format>

and either

SYSINFO_DHCP_ENABLE[0]=1

SYSINFO_IP_ADDRESS[0]=<IP address from network administrator>

SYSINFO_SUBNET_MASK[0]=<subnet mask from network administrator>

In addition, you are likely to need

SYSINFO_GATEWAY_ADDRESS[0]=<gateway address>

Check sysinfo(4) and the default_sysinfo_file template for complete

information on all the variables that are supported.

Note:

The initial support for the sysinfo file requires that the

letters A-F in the sysinfo file’s MAC address must be

entered in uppercase letters. This restriction is

removed on HP-UX 11i v3 by PHCO_38608, which

supersedes PHCO_36525

d. Here is a sample listing of the non-comment lines in a sysinfo file:

# grep -v "^#" /var/opt/drd/tmp/drdblade.sysinfo

SYSINFO_HOSTNAME=drdbl1

SYSINFO_MAC_ADDRESS[0]=0x0017A477000C

SYSINFO_IP_ADDRESS[0]=15.1.50.70

SYSINFO_SUBNET_MASK[0]=255.255.248.0

SYSINFO_GATEWAY[0]=15.1.48.1

SYSINFO_ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1

7. Issue the drd rehost command, using the sysinfo file just created. The inactive system image

(the clone that was just created) is the default target. This command copies the sysinfo file to the

EFI partition of the clone.

# drd rehost -v -f /var/opt/drd/tmp/drdblade.sysinfo

* The messages from validation of the system info file

"/var/opt/drd/tmp/drdblade.sysinfo" are

given below.

* The value "drdbl1" for "SYSINFO_HOSTNAME" passes the syntax

check.

* The value "0x0017A477000C" for "SYSINFO_MAC_ADDRESS[0]" passes

the syntax check.

* The value 15.1.50.70 for SYSINFO_IP_ADDRESS[0] passes the
