To specify a saved configuration as the default, define it in your server’s /var/opt/ignite/ data/INDEX file, or use the bootsys command with the
Specifying defaults in the config.local file
The /var/opt/ignite/config.local file is normally included in every configuration (cfg) clause in the /var/opt/ignite/data/INDEX file. It provides a convenient location, in which to store default parameters that are the same for all configurations. Typically these are networking parameters, default software selections and kernel modifications.
The following is an example of what a config.local file look like. The sw_sel definitions depend on what you have defined in other configuration files on the
dns_domain="corp.com"
dns_nameserver[0] = "10.2.72.2" nis_domain="corpdomain" wait_for_nis_server=FALSE root_password="JPDw02THwAhiQ" timezone="MST7MDT" ntpdate_server="10.1.48.1" init sw_sel "Misc_Patches"=TRUE init sw_sel "B3919DA_AGP"=TRUE mod_kernel += "maxuprc 100" set_kernel += "dbc_max_pct 20"
NOTE: After making manual edits to config.local, always use the following command to verify that the syntax is correct and to avoid installation errors:
instl_adm
Setting defaults with instl_adm
Some network parameters must be known by the client when it first boots. The netmask and gateway can be supplied in the installation or RAM file system ([WVI]INSTALLFS). You can do this by using the instl_adm command, which has options to set the client’s netmask, gateway,
For example, you might want to set the keyboard language so you are never prompted for it when booting from
In the following example, the keyboard language is set to PS2_DIN_US_English.
#instl_adm
#echo '_hp_keyboard="PS2_DIN_US_English"' >> /tmp/installfs.out
#instl_adm
