’l’ Other control information (for example, global
mod_kernel statements).
For example, the line:
_hp_cfg_detail_level="ivsp"
in a client configuration file would
indicate the file contains information about which
cfg INDEX selection should be used, the vari-
able settings, software selection settings, and system parameters.
_hp_console_verbosity
Integer variable used to control the verboseness of output to the console. If set to 0 (zero), messages
to the console are turned off during the installation. If set to 6, messages will be printed to the con-
sole even when the
ignite UI is controlling the installation (control_from_server=true). If not
set, or set to 5, the messages normally are printed to the console except when
control_from_server
is set to true (which is the case when using the
ignite UI command
on the server).
_hp_custom_sys
String variable used in conditional statements surrounding network and system identity informa-
tion when the UI writes a configuration file. This variable may be used in conditionals in
configuration files to define multiple sets of network parameters that may be selected from in the
Additional screen. You may see how this variable is used by performing a "Save As" operation dur-
ing an installation after modifying the parameters on the "System" tab and viewing the resulting file
in the
/var/opt/ignite/data/saved_cfgs
directory.
_hp_default_cur_lan_dev
String variable set to the LAN device that is enabled during the Ignite-UX process. It is used when
a LAN device is omitted from keywords that may accept a LAN interface specifier. This defaults to
the interface that you chose during the install, or in the non-interactive case, the LAN device from
which the client booted. If this was not a network boot, the default is lan0.
_hp_default_final_lan_dev
String variable similar to _hp_default_cur_lan_dev
, used when the network information is
specified by using the
final keyword. It defaults to _hp_default_cur_lan_dev
if not set.
The IP address associated with the LAN device specified by this variable is used for the entry in the
/etc/hosts file for the client’s host name.
_hp_disable_lvm_pvlink_all
Boolean-string variable that controls whether all alternate paths to disks should be automatically
added to LVM volume groups. By default, all alternate paths (up to the maximum allowed) will be
added. Setting this variable to "true" will cause only the paths explicitly specified for the volume
group in the configuration file to be added. This variable has no effect when installing B.11.31 and
later. Starting at B.11.31, Ignite-UX uses the agile device files to configure LVM, which takes
advantage of all paths to a disk.
_hp_disable_sas_disk_reorder
Boolean-string variable that controls whether SAS disk devices will be forced to have instance
numbers assigned in order of the devices’ physical location. The ordering will be forced by default,
which results in more predictable hardware paths between installs. If set to "true", then the forced
ordering is not done and the instance number assignment (and thus the hardware path) is not
dependent on the physical location (and can be somewhat unpredictable). To take effect, this vari-
able must be set in the
*INSTALLFS file using instl_adm.
_hp_disk_layout
String variable set by the UI to indicate which disk layout (LVM, whole-disk, etc.) you selected. As
configurations are saved, the list of possible values is increased to contain any modified layouts.
_hp_efi_partition_size
Integer variable set by the UI to indicate the size of the HP-UX EFI boot partition on Itanium-
based clients. This disk partition contains loader software and other utilities used to boot the HP-
UX operating system. This value defaults to a size that allows some space for additional boot parti-
tion content in future HP-UX releases, and is adjusted to the minimum EFI boot partition size if set
to zero or a value less than the minimum. This variable is supported beginning with HP-UX
B.11.23, and is only supported on Itanium-based systems. On HP-UX B.11.31 and later, the actual
size will be slightly less than this value due to compliance with the UEFI standards in the idisk
command.
_hp_service_partition_size
Integer variable set by the UI to indicate the size of the HP Service Partition on Itanium-based
systems. This disk partition contains diagnostics software, saved client and hardware state data,
