Using Golden Images with Virtual Partitions

Configuring the Ignite-UX Server to Recognize the Golden
Image Archive
To create an Ignite-UX configuration file for the golden image archive, use the example
file:
/opt/ignite/data/examples/ B.11.23.golden_image.cfg
Step 1. Create a copy of the example configuration file:
cp /opt/ignite/data/examples/ B.11.23.golden_image.cfg \
/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/golden_image_cfg
The destination file name is arbitrary. You can store configuration files anywhere
on the system you chose. Ignite-UX manages the names and locations using the
/var/opt/ignite/INDEX file (see Step 3). This file must be accessible using tftp.
Step 2. Modify the golden_image_cfg section to set up the operating system archive for
NFS transfer. Key changes are:
a. In the sw_source stanza, change the following:
nfs_source = "10.2.72.150:/var/opt/ignite/archives/Rel_B.11.23"
to point to the directory where the archive resides. This directory must be NFS
exported to allow the client to read it.
b. Remove the init sw_sel stanza for the operating system archive you will not be
using. For example, if you have created a golden image archive for PA-RISC
systems, remove the is_ia64 sw_sel stanza. If you have created a golden image
archive for Integrity systems, remove the
is_hppa sw_sel stanza.
c. In the appropriate
init sw_sel stanza, leave the default description or change it
to something representative of your archive:
description = "B.11.23 PA golden image archive"
d. So that this configuration will appear as an operating system environment
choice on the Basic tab in the Ignite-UX TUI, point it to the archive:
archive_path = "hostname.gz"
e. Create impacts lines for the init sw_sel stanza by executing:
