This variable does not control anything else.

_hp_console_verbosity

The _hp_console_verbosity variable allows you to reduce the amount of information that is printed to the screen when Ignite-UX executes a recovery or an installation. It has a default value of five that sets Ignite-UX to print everything; however, it only has to be three or more to print everything.

When set to two or less, it greatly reduces the amount of messages printed on the console. The messages not printed on the console are printed to the install.log file. This variable maybe useful when creating media for use by non-technical personnel who may not understand the messages being printed or may become concerned with some of the warning messages that Ignite- UX can print that may not be indicative of a real problem.

This variable is set in the installation file system. The following example reduces the number of messages written to the console during a recovery or installation by setting the variable to zero:

init _hp_console_verbosity=0

Warning:

If you reduce the amount of messages printed and a failure occurs, this may cause difficulties when attempting to determine the root cause of failures that occur early in an installation or recovery when the install.log file has not yet been moved to permanent storage.

_hp_patch_save_files

The _hp_patch_save_files variable is not actually a special variable and by itself, it means nothing to Ignite-UX. It is a construct used within the hw_patches_cfg file in the per release data directory (/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.##.##). This construct is an enum that is accessible from the Additional button on the Basic tab in the Ignite-UX GUI. The following is an example of the _hp_patch_save_files enum definition:

#

#_hp_patch_save_files is used to determine if patches loaded from the

#core are committed, or not committed and can later be backed out.

#

enum _hp_patch_save_files

_hp_patch_save_files = { "YES", "NO" } init _hp_patch_save_files = "YES"
