When dealing with more than one depot, use the load_order option to control the exact sequencing of media installations. It is helpful to use the media_title option so Ignite-UX can prompt for media using meaningful text.

To create the configuration file for the second depot, you can use the following command:

#make_config -x no_sd_server -s <path_to_depot2> \ -c <path_to_cfg_file2> -x load_order=2 \

-x media_title="Installation DVD Number 2"

Continue to create configuration files for all your depots.

3.Create the LIF header

Use the make_medialif command to deposit the LIF file into the first DVD depot pseudo-root. This is the norm for installation media.

The following make_medialif command uses two standard configuration files and two depot configuration files, but you can specify as many as you wish.

#make_medialif -f /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/config \ -f /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/hw_patches_cfg \

-f<path_to_cfg_file1> \ -f<path_to_cfg_file2> \

-r B.11.23 -a -V -v -R -l <path_to_depot1>/media_lif

#instl_adm -b -F <path_to_depot1>/media_lif

The commands above create a LIF configuration file that contains the default file system layout configuration file for 11i v2, the patch handling configuration file for v2, and two depot configuration files created with make_config. Other options are to include the Version file, RECCMDS, and support for Integrity and PA-RISC systems.

If you need to include configuration information in the install file system, such as settings of control keywords, it must be set now using the instl_adm command. For example, if you wanted a common root password, you can place that information in a file using the root_password keyword, and then run the following command:

#instl_adm -f<path_to_special_cfg_settings> \ -F<path_to_depot1>/media_lif

For more information, see instl_adm(1M) and instl_adm(4).

Create the first DVD

1.Copy the EFI partition into the first DVD pseudo-root:

#cp /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.23/EFI_CD_image <path_to_depot1>

2.Run mkisofs to create the first DVD image (path_to_dvd1image):

#/opt/ignite/lbin/mkisofs -D -r -U -v -max-iso9660-filename \ -no-emul-boot -b EFI_CD_image -hide EFI_CD_image \ -eltorito-alt-boot -no-emul-boot \

-b media_lif -hide media_lif \

-o<path_to_dvd1image> <path_to_depot1>

3.Run instl_combine to position the LIF header at the beginning of the image:

#/opt/ignite/lbin/instl_combine -C <path_to_dvd1image>
