RETURN VALUE
bootsys will exit with a status of 0 (zero) if all clients were rebooted successfully. A non-zero value is
returned if any problem occurred.
EXAMPLES
Boot the following three systems immediately from the Ignite-UX server, such that the clients wait for the
Ignite UI to configure them:
bootsys -w client1 client2 client3
Automatically install client1 specifying the configuration for it to use:
bootsys -a -i ’HP-UX B.11.23 Default’ client1
Automatically install client1 providing 10 minutes for users to log off:
bootsys -a -s 600 client1
Automatically install client1 using a different IP address than what it is currently assigned:
bootsys -a client1:1.2.3.45
Automatically install the systems listed, and ignore clients that cannot be accessed:
bootsys -a -d client1 client2 client3
If a client had
bootsys executed on it, but you want to reboot back to HP-UX off the disk on which
bootsys modified the AUTO file and the -r option was used, you can execute the command
/tmp/bootsys_prep -u
on the client. If -r was not used, you can interact with the ISL to get the
system to boot from the normal kernel
/stand/vmunix
, and the changes will automatically be undone.
The command
/tmp/bootsys_prep
is left on the client by the bootsys command and is removed
when its
-u option is used. Note that the AUTO file is automatically restored if you installed to a
different disk from the original boot disk. The bootsys_prep -u command is executed automatically
the first time you boot from a disk on which bootsys has previously been executed:
boot primary isl
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix
Automatically install B.11.23 on the systems listed, and ignore clients that cannot be accessed:
bootsys -a -R B.11.23 -d client1 client2 client3
WARNINGS
The client’s current network settings are used only during install and they are overwritten by any "final"
settings in the configuration files.
FILES
/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_
release /INSTALLFS
/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release /VINSTALLFS
/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release /WINSTALLFS
The RAM file system used by PA-RISC install clients. Configuration information available at client
boot time is stored in the first 8KB of this file. Normally the latter two are symbolically linked to the
first on the Ignite-UX server.
/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release /IINSTALLFS
The RAM file system used by Itanium-based install clients. Configuration information available at
client boot time is stored in the first 8KB of this file. By default, instl_adm keeps all of the RAM
file systems in sync with each other.
/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release /INSTALL
The kernel booted by 32-bit PA-RISC-install clients.
/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release /VINSTALL
The kernel booted by V-class PA-RISC-install clients.
/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release /WINSTALL
The kernel booted by 64-bit PA-RISC-install clients.
/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release /IINSTALL
The kernel booted by Itanium-based install clients.
