-a option.
Note: Incompatible
-r and -o options or equivalent default values cause an
error report. The -o 32
and -o 64v types are only supported by HP-UX OS
release B.11.11. The
-o IA type is only supported by HP-UX OS releases B.11.23
and higher.
-a Specifies that all boot kernel and RAM file system files found in
/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release
should be included, not just the pair specified
with the
-o option or matching the system by default. This can increase the size
of the LIF volume. If any RAM file system file other than
INSTALLFS is a sym-
bolic link to
INSTALLFS, this is preserved in the LIF volume. This option cannot
be combined with the -o option.
-s script_file Specifies a script to include in a
SCRIPTS file in the LIF volume. Multiple -s
options may be specified. The default script files, which are always included, are
listed in the FILES section. All scripts are packaged using
tar, and then
compressed using
gzip, before being put into the
SCRIPTS file. A script_file must
be specified as an absolute path name. Scripts defined as described in the Com-
mand and Script Execution Hooks section of instl_adm (4) must be provided
here or with the
-S option.
-S Specifies that all script files found in both /var/opt/ignite/scripts
and
/opt/ignite/data/scripts
should be included in the SCRIPTS file. All
script files found there are combined with any
-s script arguments and packaged
in the manner previously described.
-l LIF_file Specifies where the resulting LIF volume (boot image) file is to be written. The
default path is /var/opt/ignite/local/uxinstlf.recovery
. You must
have write access to this file, but need not necessarily be superuser.
-v Specifies that the command perform a lifls -l on the resulting LIF file upon
success. It also displays the location of the image file, the release, and
configuration.
-V Includes the /opt/ignite/data/Version
file as a VERSION file in the LIF
volume.
-R Includes the /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release/RECCMDS
expert recovery com-
mands file (and/or
RECCMDSIA for IA systems) as a RECCMDS
(and/or RECCMD-
SIA) file in the LIF volume, according to which kernel plus RAM file system files
are selected.
-d tmpdir Specifies that the directory tmpdir be used to store all the temporary files used by
make_medialif. The default is /var/tmp. The disk space requirements in this
directory vary somewhat, but typically 100KB of free disk space is necessary.
-m Specifies the creation of a minimal LIF volume (boot image) file. This file is
sufficient to boot and contact an Ignite-UX net server. Unless the -o option is
used, this "boot helper" media contains all boot kernel and RAM file system files
found in /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release, similar to the -a option, plus the
ISL, AUTO, and HPUX files, but no INDEX, CONFIG, INSTCMDS*, SYSCMDS*,or
SCRIPTS files. If any RAM file system file other than INSTALLFS is a symbolic
link to INSTALLFS, this is preserved in the LIF volume. This option cannot be
combined with any of -f, -c, -C, -a, -s,or-S.
-? Displays the usage text.
International Code Set Support
Ignite-UX uses a variety of system commands to accomplish its functionality. Because the output of many
of these commands is parsed, Ignite-UX ensures that the POSIX locale is normally used by modifying
environment variables. Help text and some command output not parsed by Ignite-UX will be left in the
user’s specified locale.
RETURN VALUE
The
make_medialif command returns 0 upon successful completion of the task, 1 upon issuing a
usage message, or 2 upon any other error.
