waits at boot time until the server can be contacted.
[final] ntpdate_server =
cplx_string
Sets the network time protocol server that the client uses to keep the clock synchronized. See
ntpdate (1M) for details. This is currently not used during the installation, rather after the client is
finished installing.
is_net_info_temporary =
boolean
Set to
true indicating the network information supplied during the install is not assumed to be
correct for the system after it is installed. When set to
true and no final parameters have been
set, the
set_parms and auto_parms utilities try to obtain the final information using the
dhcpclient command using the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), or from you if
DHCP is not available. In addition, if the information used during the installation was originally
obtained from a DHCP server, the IP address lease is returned at the end of the installation.
If set to
false, which is the default, the network information used during the install process is
assumed to be default after the installation is complete. This means that if the information was
obtained from a DHCP server, the lease information obtained is kept and used when the client
boots. If it was not obtained via DHCP, the ENABLE_DHCP variable in
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
is set to ’0’ for the specific LAN interface. This prevents
auto_parms from overriding the supplied network information with any possible information from
a DHCP server.
It is important to note that, when set to
false, which is the default, if the lan interface chosen for
installation is configured to be part of an APA interface, then the setting will be automatically
changed from false to true, to prevent errors when running the startup scripts on the final sys-
tem. Ignite-UX will not write the networking information entered earlier or gained via DHCP into
the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.
run_setparms = boolean
Set to true indicating the host name is removed from the final /etc/rc.conf.d/netconf
file,
which will cause the
set_parms application to run upon first boot querying you for networking
information.
server = cplx_string
Used to specify the default IP address of the install server, when the installation source is the net-
work. This is an Ignite-UX server from which the installation process reads the configuration files.
sd_server = cplx_string
Specifies the IP address of the system to use as the source for the Software Distributor (SD)
swin-
stall,or swm utilities. See swinstall (1M), or swm(1M) (for HP-UX B.11.31 or later). This infor-
mation is used only if the sw_source does not specify the sd_server information.
sd_depot_dir = cplx_string
Sets the default depot directory to be used by the swinstall,or swm (on HP-UX B.11.31 or later)
utilities. This depot directory is the location the HP-UX software has been stored on the
sd_server by the swcopy utility. This information is used only if the sw_source does not
specify the sd_depot_dir information.
root_password = cplx_string
Specifies cplx_string as being the encrypted password to be stored in the final /etc/passwd or
/etc/shadow file for the root user, or in the protected password file
/tcb/files/auth/r/root if an archive of a trusted system has been loaded.
timezone = cplx_string
Specifies cplx_string as the time zone to be stored in the /etc/TIMEZONE file on the final client.
For HP-UX releases beginning with B.11.11, this also specifies the time zone data for the
/etc/default/tz file.
serial_number = cplx_string
customer = cplx_string
order_number = cplx_string
These three keywords are used to supply information that is displayed on the client’s manifest.
They are informational only.
Control Parameters
The following parameters may be used to control the behavior of the installation process:
