_variable ={value1 ,value2 ,...}
Sets the list of potential values of the variable to those given and is for use by the UI only. There is
no error checking to ensure the resulting value is in the given list.
_variable
+={value2 ,value3 ,...}
Using the += operator adds the given values to any existing values specified for that variable.
_variable
={number..number}
Specifies a numeric range of potential values using two numbers (or integer variables/keywords)
separated by two dots.
_variable
={disk[*], disk[*=X]}
Creates a list of potential values made of the hardware paths of all the disks in the first case, and
the first "X" number of disks in the second case. This is useful when you need to choose from the list
of available disks on the system.
Variable values that should be restricted to one of the list of potential values may be specified as an
enumeration variable using the
enum keyword as follows:
enum _variable
Variables that should not be displayed in the UI should be set to invisible using the syntax:
_variable
visible_if false
The help_text keyword may be used to specify a longer, more descriptive name for the variable that
the UI may use in the Additional dialog. The syntax is:
_variable help_text string
Special Variables
These are variables that are treated specially by the UI or other parts of Ignite-UX and are described as
follows:
_hp_addnl_fs_free_pct
Integer variable used to control the amount of additional free space (or "breathing room") allocated
to volumes beyond the space required to load the software. If this variable is not set, it defaults to
10 (10%). See the definition for the file system size keyword attribute for more details.
_hp_cfg_detail_level
Internal string variable fundamental in the configuration file management done by Ignite-UX. It is
used primarily in the client-specific configuration files. It contains a list of option characters that
represent which aspects of the configuration file have been modified by the UI. This represents the
areas of information the configuration file written by the UI contains.
The Ignite-UX process uses this information should it need to rewrite the configuration file. The
configuration file is rewritten both by the UI and by the client installation process. In these cases,
the process uses
_hp_cfg_detail_level
to determine how much information is represented by
the configuration file and so may write the minimal amount of information, and then allow the rest
be supplied by the other configuration files in the
INDEX file set.
The option characters recognized in the
_hp_cfg_detail_level string that may be found in a
client-specific config file are:
’i’ Index cfg clause selection. (File that containing the line indicating which INDEX file entry
should be used.)
’v’ Variable and use model settings.
’s’ Software selection settings.
’S’ Modified software selection definitions.
’r’ Modified software source definitions (depot information).
’f’ Modified file system information.
’p’ System identity information.
’t’ post_config_script selections settings.
’h’ Hardware control information (hw_instance_num statements).
