Note:
The lines are not folded in the actual hw.info file as they appear in the
preceding e
xample.
You can test configuration changes with instl_dbg by copying an existing per-client directory to
a new directory. However, it is not a good idea to copy the directory to another directory under
/var/opt/ignite/clients in case the <MAC> directory you choose to copy it to conflicts with
a potential future client; instead, copy it somewhere else.
You can either copy the hw.info and host.info files from the client system or freely change the
existing hw.info and host.info files for testing. For example, the disk size is the field after the
description, but before the raw device file name (both disk devices are set to 35566480 in the
preceding example).
If you had to test a configuration with 72 GB disks, you could manually change those sizes. While
you might consider doing this for testing purposes, you should never change the hw.info or
host.info files in a per-client directory on the Ignite-UX server that is used by a "real" client
system, as doing so may cause many potentially fatal problems. You should not attempt to
