Note: All lan interfaces that support autonegotiation of the link speed and duplex values will do so
when running the installation kernel. If you have 100BT lan interfaces and switches with ports hard
set to 100 full duplex rather than autonegotiate, you will end up with a speed and duplex mismatch.
You must use the above configuration in an installation file system.
1000BT interfaces can autonegotiate their speed and duplex values; however, if you have a switch
set to operate only at 1000 full duplex, a 1000BT lan interface should automatically operate at that
speed and duplex. In this situation, there is no need to use
_hp_lanadmin_args
. Gigabit ether-
net over fibre can operate only at 1000 full duplex, so no configuration is necessary.
Note: Do not specify a PPA value in the
_hp_lanadmin_args
variable; Ignite-UX adds this
automatically to the correct lan interface.
_hp_locale
String variable the UI sets to the language locale the user chose. If set to the string
ASK_AT_FIRST_BOOT
then the geocustoms application is invoked when the installation is
complete to allow you to choose the desired language. Setting the value to
SET_NULL_LOCALE
leaves the system to default with no LANG
variable set, in which case commands will use the inter-
nal messages that provide better performance. If
_hp_locale
is not set, it is set internally to the
first value of the
locale keyword for a selected
sw_sel. If there are multiple selected
sw_sels which contain locale keywords, the _hp_locale
variable is set to the first value of
the
locale of the first selected sw_sel.
_hp_min_swap
Integer variable used as the minimum size the primary swap volume may be reduced to if there is
not enough disk space for all other volumes. This value defaults to an amount that should allow the
system to boot and run HP-UX.
_hp_nfs_mount_opts
String variable set in the *INSTALLFS file and used to supply additional options to the NFS
mounts that are performed during the installation. This is intended for use when the default
options are not appropriate for your network. See mount_nfs (1M) for valid options.
Note: When multiple options are passed to mount_nfs(1M), they must be passed as a comma-
separated list following the
-o option.
To set the read and write NFS buffer size to 1KB:
init _hp_nfs_mount_opts="-orsize=1024,wsize=1024"
Note that this variable is not used during make_net_recovery
operations. If you require these
special options in order for
make_net_recovery
to function correctly, see
make_net_recovery(1M).
_hp_nfs_mount_retries
Integer variable used to modify the default number of times that the NFS mounts are retried before
failing. If this variable is not set, the mounts will be retried four times. If you need to change this
default, this variable should be specified in the *INSTALLFS file. For example, to set the number
of retries to 8:
init _hp_nfs_mount_retries=8
_hp_os_bitness
String variable used to set either "32" or "64" when an operating system is chosen. This is normally
performed in a configuration file by keying off of the sw_sel for a 32 or 64-bit operating system.
The sw_sel statements for certain applications rely on this variable to indicate which version of
the application to installation based on the operating system.
_hp_pri_swap
Integer variable that may be set in the UI to indicate how much swap the user desires to have allo-
cated on the root disk/volume-group. The default LVM primary swap volume is defined as a size
range with _hp_pri_swap being the desired size and _hp_min_swap being the minimum size.
_hp_primary_path
String variable set during the initial startup of Ignite-UX on the client. This variable is set to the
client’s primary boot path as set in stable storage and read with setboot. If the client’s primary
boot path is incorrectly set to a non-existent device, _hp_primary_path is set to the empty
string ("").
