mode is advanced. Ignite-UX will force this keyword to
true, and if found false will issue a warn-
ing that the setting will be ignored.
sd_command_line =
cplx_string
sd_command_line +=
cplx_string
Used to specify options to all
swinstall,or
swm (on HP-UX B.11.31 or later) operations per-
formed during an install. The options specified are added to the default options that are required to
perform the software installation. It is advised to include space characters at each end of the
cplx_string to avoid options running into each other and resulting in syntax errors. For example:
sd_command_line += " -xpatch_match_target=true "
sd_secrets = cplx_string
Setting this should only occur when the file
/var/adm/sw/security/secrets
on the source
depot server(s) has been modified to provide additional security. When this is performed, all clients
that have access to that server must have an identical
secrets file. The sd_secrets keyword
allows you to specify the contents of the
secrets file that are used by the Ignite-UX server per-
forming the installation.
sysadm_message =
cplx_string
Sets the message displayed when the client first boots the cold install process. This message is only
recognized when stored in the configuration that exists in the first 8KB of the
*INSTALLFS file.
The
instl_adm -a option makes this easy to set and change.
error = cplx_string
error += cplx_string
Used to indicate an error condition such that the cplx_string is displayed to you and the installation
process is not allowed to proceed. The use of the += operator adds a new message separate from
any others. The = operator clears out any other messages previously added so that cplx_string is
the only message seen. If the = operator is used with an empty cplx_string (""), all error messages
using this mechanism are cleared.
warning = cplx_string
warning += cplx_string
Sets the warning message to cplx_string, similar to the error keyword described above; how-
ever, cplx_string is considered a warning message and does not prevent the installation from
proceeding.
note = cplx_string
note += cplx_string
Sets the note message to cplx_string, similar to the error and warning keywords described
above; however, cplx_string is considered a notice message and will not prevent the installa-
tion from proceeding.
mod_kernel = cplx-string
mod_kernel += cplx-string
Used to add drivers or tunable parameters to the client’s kernel that is built during the Ignite-UX
process. The format of cplx-string may be either "driver" or "tunable value".
The largest of any tunable parameter that exists in either the
/stand/system file or that is
specified by you is used. Beginning with the B.11.23 release, if a tunable is not found in
/stand/system, it is compared with the default value as reported by kctune. Ignite-UX does
not compare the values of formulas to discrete numeric values, two formulas, or hexadecimal values,
in order to determine which is larger. It issues a note message stating that it assumes the last
mod_kernel keyword parsed is larger (regardless of whether it is a formula or discrete numeric
value) and applies it. There is no bounds checking done on tunable parameters.
Decimal values should be in the range from 0 to 2147483647 (2ˆ31-1). The shell that is used to
evaluate these values uses signed 32-bit arithmetic for decimal values, and problems occur when
values exceed this limit. If larger values are needed, the values must be converted to hexadecimal
because the shell does not evaluate them.
Note that any allowable syntax supported by the
config command may be used in mod_kernel
keywords. This includes formulas. For example, it is possible to use:
mod_kernel += "ninode (20+8*MAXUSERS+NPTY+" + ${"%d" _inc} + ")"
