DESCRIPTION
There are several tasks which need to be performed to administer an Ignite-UX server. The
setup_server tool handles many of these tasks, and is is designed to provide a very simple interface.
It has a command-line interface only with no interactive capabilities. The GUI in ignite (5) provides the
same functionality interactively.
In general, the options are independent from one another. If an error is encountered while processing
one option, any other options are generally processed. Also, options should only be specified once during
a given invocation (the last specification is the one used).
Options
setup_server recognizes the following options:
-c class_id Sets the DHCP class_id which will be used to filter DHCP lease requests. This
allows the DHCP server to respond only to Ignite-UX clients.
-g gateway_ip_address
Only valid when the -I option is also specified. This option lets you specify which
gateway address should appear in the DHCP entry being created using the -I
option. The default gateway will be the entry found in the
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf ROUTE_GATEWAY
entry.
-h true|false Modify the configuration file in the RAM FS specifying that all newly installed
clients should halt when complete. The default is false , indicating the client will
reboot.
-i ip_address|ip_address_1-ip_address_n|ip_address:MAC_address
Sets up one or more temporary IP addresses for booting during the network instal-
lation process. Each simultaneous installation session requires its own IP address.
Note that the IP addresses here are only used briefly (three (3) minutes). The
addresses are recorded in the
/etc/instl_boottab
file. If only the IP (or a
range of IPs) is specified, any install client may use the IP during the installation
process. If you wish to assign an IP to a particular client, you may also include the
client’s MAC address (the MAC address must be specified as a hex number without
a leading 0x). If this information is included, only the client you specify may use
the IP. The IP addresses used during the majority of the installation are specified
using the
-I option.
-I ip_address|ip_address_1-ip_address_n
Sets up one or more temporary IP addresses for the remainder of the network ins-
tallation process. Each simultaneous installation session requires its own IP
address allocated using DHCP. It is preferable to allocate one (or more) range(s)
rather than individual IP addresses.
-l lan_interface
Only valid when the -I option is also specified. This option is used to specify
which lan interface should be used when setting the DHCP entry for this range of
addresses. By default, the interface specified by INTERFACE[0] in the
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf file is used. Examples of interfaces are LAN0
and LAN1.
-n Sets NFS mounts to allow client/server communication. This is an optional step.
By default, no NFS exports from the server are required. However, if you wish to
control the installation process from the server or if you wish to make sure that
configuration files and manifest information are placed on the server, you must
specify the -n option. This means that /var/opt/ignite/clients will be
