HP-UX Reference (11i v2 07/12) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

s
set_parms(1M) set_parms(1M)
If Ignite-UX is installed on your system, see the manual entries for ignite(5) and instl_adm(4). In particu-
lar, read instl_adm(4) for descriptions of the
is_net_info_temporary
, run_setparms , and
final variables.
Native Language Support (NLS)
The set_parms command supports all of the standard HP-supplied languages. In first-boot situations,
the language set_parms uses is dictated by either geocustoms(1M) or the LANG parameter as set in
/etc/rc.config.d/LANG
. The geocustoms command, if called by
set_parms, allows you to
pick both a "system setup" language (the language of the system administrator setting up the system, for
use by the user interface), and a "system default" language (the language of the end user).
The
set_parms command uses the "system setup" language as picked within geocustoms, unless the sys-
tem default language is set to an Asian language. In this case, it uses the Asian language (from the file
/etc/rc.config.d/LANG
), since geocustoms
itself does not provide an Asian language user inter-
face.
Interaction with auto_parms and geocustoms
During the boot sequence,
/sbin/rc always invokes
auto_parms , which in turn detects the first-boot
situation and the need to run
geocustoms (note, these are independent conditions). It calls
set_parms if either or both of these conditions are true. The set_parms command first sets up an X
Window environment if the system console is on a graphics display, then calls geocustoms if necessary.
If geocustoms is called, after it finishes, and always in a first-boot situation, set_parms starts its
interface and, based on user input, might call back into
auto_parms to obtain and set up the manage-
ment of a DHCP lease. After set_parms completes this and other system setup tasks, control passes
back to /sbin/rc, which completes the boot sequence using the newly created system initial identity
parameters.
EXAMPLES
See /sbin/rc for invocation context in the first boot case.
FILES
/sbin/set_parms The command itself.
/sbin/set_parms.util
Common subroutines used by set_parms and the subarea commands.
/sbin/set_parms.d/
Directory holding all of subarea commands called by set_parms, which runs
them in sorted order.
/sbin/ch_hostname.d/
Directory containing any host-name-change commands defined by the user.
These are standalone commands run, in sorted order, by set_parms when set-
ting or changing the host name.
/tmp/install.vars
File left by Ignite-UX / Cold Install that contains networking and other system
information used during the installation.
/etc/hosts
/etc/TIMEZONE
/etc/passwd
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs
/etc/resolv.conf
System configuration files modified by set_parms .
