Preparing a Base Group for a Remote System
Preparing a Base Group for a Remote System
If you are creating a CSLT for distribution to another system, HPINSTAL allows you to
include your own installation-specific system files on the CSLT. You can specify these files
in a base group. The base group must be a valid configuration group created using SYSGEN.
You only need to create a base group if creating a CSLT for a remote system because if you
are updating the system you are on, any system files you have added will remain there.
The only way to add system files to a remote system would be to put them on the CSLT.
NOTE
The procedure for preparing a base group is not required in all cases. Unless
you are certain that you need to add your own system files to the CSLT, use
the default configuration group specified by pressing
[RETURN] at the prompt
requesting the base group. Then HPINSTAL creates a default configuration
group based on the current configuration group (of the system you are
working on).
To create the base group:
1. Determine which group to use as a source for the base group. You'll probably want to
choose the default factory configuration group corresponding to the model number of
the target system. (For example, if the target system is a 995, start with confg995.)
2. Determine a name for the group to use as the base group on the remote system.
NOTE
The remote system base group can never be used as a Release 4.0
configuration.
3. Use the Release 5.5 version of SYSGEN to create the base group for HPINSTAL to use:
a. Set up file equations to point to the Release 5.5 SYSGCAT and CATALOG:
:FILE SYSGCAT.PUB.SYS=SYSGCAT.INSTALL.SYS
:FILE CATALOG.PUB.SYS=CATALOG.INSTALL.SYS
b. Run the Release 5.5 SYSGEN to create the base group:
:RUN SYSGEN.INSTALL.SYS
The following example shows using SYSGEN to create a base group. It uses CONFG995 as the
source for the configuration group for the remote system, which is an HP 3000 Model 995.
The base group for the remote system is called CUSTCONF. Note that CUSTCONF does not
have to exist prior to running SYSGEN. The base group should be named a group name of
your choosing that does not conflict with the names of the default configuration groups.
