-c /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/core_cfg

Warning:

HP does not support placing different versions of an OE in one depot.

Instead, you must keep different OEs in different depots.

This creates the configuration file that describes the depot in

/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11 and it is named core_cfg81. However, it does not update /var/opt/ignite/INDEX so that you can create your own custom cfg clause later. If everything completes successfully, you should see the following message only:

NOTE: make_config can sometimes take a long time to complete. Please be patient!

An alternative to this is to use the following command:

make_config –r B.11.11

This command automatically creates configuration files for all of the depots under /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.11. However, this form of the command will also update the /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file (typically updating all cfg clauses affecting the given HP-UX release with information about the configuration files). This may not be desirable.

For example, if you run the following command:

make_config -r B.11.11 -s core_1203_mc

Then the configuration file will be created and the /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file will be updated (only showing the Default B.11.11 clause) to be:

#cat /var/opt/ignite/INDEX

...

cfg "HP-UX B.11.11 Default" {

description "This selection supplies the default system configuration that HP supplies for the B.11.11 release."

"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/config" "/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/hw_patches_cfg" "/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/core_1203_mc_cfg" "/var/opt/ignite/config.local"

}

If you then run the following command:

make_config -r B.11.11

81This is why it was suggested earlier that if you have multiple core operating system (OE) depots, you should give them names that include the release date of the media and an indication (if required) of the OE type.
