DESCRIPTION

instl_adm is used on a network install boot server to set, modify, or display the default parameters

used when a client connects to the server to install the

HP-UX operating system. instl_adm may be

used to specify the network parameters using the

-h, -s, -g, -m, -t, and

-S options. An informative

message may be given to install users by using the

-a option. More complex conﬁguration parameters

may be stored in a conﬁguration_ﬁle and applied or tested for syntax by using the

-f and -T options

respectively. (See instl_adm (4) for details on the syntax of conﬁguration_ﬁle.)

Options

instl_adm recognizes the following options:

-d Display the current conﬁguration. The format of this information is described in

instl_adm (4).

The standard output resulting from the

-d option may be stored in a ﬁle, edited,

and reapplied using the -f option.

-f configuration_file

The contents of conﬁguration_ﬁle will be treated as conﬁguration information and

by default is copied into the ﬁrst 8K of the *INSTALLFS ﬁle. If the -T

option is

used, only the syntax of the ﬁle is checked. If the

-c option is used, it is copied

into the given LIF_volume as the ﬁle named CONFIG. The syntax of

conﬁguration_ﬁle is always checked before it is applied.

-F filesystem | LIF_volume

Speciﬁes that instl_adm should modify/display the conﬁguration stored in

ﬁlesystem or LIF_volume . If the speciﬁed ﬁle is a ﬁle system image,

instl_adm

operates on the ﬁrst 8KB of that image. If the speciﬁed ﬁle is a LIF volume (like a

bootable tape/CD image) and the -c option is not given, instl_adm operates on

the ﬁrst 8KB of all LIF ﬁles matching *INSTALLFS. If the speciﬁed ﬁle is a LIF

ﬁle and the -c option is given, the LIF ﬁle entitled CONFIG is operated on in

totality.

If the

-F option is not speciﬁed or if the -F option is used to specify any of the

*INSTALLFS ﬁles under /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release, all *INSTALLFS

ﬁles under /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release are updated to have the same ﬁrst

8KB during a modiﬁcation operation. Similarly, when operating on a LIF volume,

all *INSTALLFS ﬁles will be updated to have the same ﬁrst 8KB.

-h hostname Speciﬁes the default hostname to be supplied to the client during a network install.

The IP address of the hostname given is determined and stored along with the host

name. If hostname is given as an IP address, it is looked up and stored as the

default. Use this option only if a speciﬁc host name and IP address are reserved for

install purposes. This should be a temporary IP address used only during installs.

Once the client installation is complete, it must be assigned its own unique IP

address.

Supplying this default is not recommended if multiple installs are to execute simul-

taneously, because only one active host may occupy a given IP address at any given

time.

instl_adm(1M) instl_adm(1M) The use of a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is the recommended method of supplying a default host name and IP address to installation clients. See the bootpd (1M) manpage for details on DHCP. -s SD_server[:depot_directory] Specifies the default Software Distributor (SD) server and depot directory that is to be used during the install as the source for the swinstall (1M), or swm(1M) commands.
PAGE 3
instl_adm(1M) -i index_file instl_adm(1M) Used with the -T option to specify an alternate INDEX file to be read for the list of configuration files that are checked for syntax. -D client_directory Used with the -T option causes detailed configuration checks to be run against the configuration for the specified client. This may be used to ensure the client’s configuration has a good chance of installing successfully.
