The cfg clause needs the following information:1.A name (for example, HP-UX B.11.11 Default)2.A description (see the description keyword)3.A list of one or more configuration files referenced by this cfg clause4.One or more configuration files that define software that may be installed4

When a cfg clause is selected (it has been set to TRUE and nothing of higher precedence changes this), its configuration files are processed in order and evaluated. This turns the set of configuration files into something that a client can use to install itself.

The make_net_recovery configuration files

A make_net_recovery session always creates the same configuration files, and you can see what they are by looking at a cfg clause in a CINDEX file:

cfg "2003-10-08,12:45 Recovery Archive" {

description "Recovery Archive" "recovery/2003-10-08,12:45/system_cfg" "recovery/2003-10-08,12:45/control_cfg" "recovery/2003-10-08,12:45/archive_cfg"

}

The three configuration files are as follows:1.system_cfg –-

This file is produced by the save_config command. It contains the file system layout, networking information, and hardware instance numbers for the system.

2.control_cfg –

This file contains definitions of Ignite-UX variables and the commands needed to import volume groups back into the final system.

3.archive_cfg –

This file contains the software definition of the archive that is used for recovery (including impacts keywords, etc.).

The CINDEX file provides a higher level of precedence than the INDEX file, so any cfg clause selected in the CINDEX file is used in preference to anything in the INDEX file in a non-interactive installation for a system. In an interactive installation, the recovery archive is automatically selected for installation so you can manually select another configuration for installation on the Basic tab in the Ignite-UX GUI.

The make_tape_recovery configuration files

The make_tape_recovery command still creates the same three configuration files that make_net_recovery does. For example:

# pwd

4This cfg clause is a default clause set up by Ignite-UX. This clause, as shown, does not have any configuration files that define software to be installed. Therefore, it is incomplete and cannot be used to install a system.
