The following is an example configuration file:
cfg
#
#setting _hp_cfg_detail_level to ipvs indicates that the file
#contains information about which cfg INDEX selection to be used,
#the variable settings, software selection settings, and system
#parameters.
_hp_cfg_detail_level="ipvs"
#
#Variable assignments
init _hp_pri_swap=68304K
init _hp_root_disk="2/0/1.5.0" init _hp_sec_swap=0K
init _hp_root_grp_disks=1 init _hp_root_grp_striped="NO"
init_hp_locale="SET_NULL_LOCALE" init_hp_keyboard="PS2_DIN_US_English"
init _hp_default_final_lan_dev="lan0" init _hp_boot_dev_path="2/0/1.6.0"
#Software Selections
init sw_sel "English"=TRUE
#
# System/Networking Parameters
init _hp_custom_sys="Current System Parameters"
_hp_custom_sys help_text "Final System/Networking Parameters"
{
final system_name="server"
final ip_addr["lan0"]="10.2.75.14" final netmask["lan0"]="255.255.248.0" final dns_domain="xx.corp.com" final dns_nameserver[0]="10.2.72.254" TIMEZONE="MST7MDT" is_net_info_temporary=TRUE
}
To customize this configuration file, change the final networking parameters in the example file to the correct values for your client. For example:
final system_name="system11"
final ip_addr["lan0"]="10.2.75.193"
It is also possible to add kernel parameters to this file. See “Setting installation parameters dynamically” (page 177).
IMPORTANT: You must update the variable _hp_cfg_detail_level to reflect the parameters that you have modified to indicate that they must be used by
