Figure 15 Session options tab

The options you can configure on this tab are explained as follows:

•Confirm new clients – Controls whether a confirmation dialog box appears each time a new client is booted from the Ignite-UX server.

•Ask for customer information during client installation – Controls whether an input window appears to enable entry of customer name, system serial number, and order number. This information is stored in the manifest.seed file in the /var/opt/ignite/local/ manifest directory. It is used when you are viewing and printing a manifest (see “Viewing and printing a manifest ” (page 149)) with print_manifest(1M). The information entered has no effect on the outcome of an installation.

•Show the welcome screen for the install server – Controls whether the WELCOME TO IGNITE UX dialog box appears. The default behavior is to display this dialog box.

•Halt the client after installation – Controls whether the client system is halted (rather than rebooted, the default) after installation.

•Automatically move completed clients to history – Controls whether completed clients are automatically added to the end of the history log, /var/opt/ignite/clients/history/ history.log. As part of this action, client configuration and manifest files are automatically moved to the history directory on the Ignite-UX server for future reference. The client icon is removed from the GUI workspace. The client must be COMPLETE (fully installed) for this to take place.

•Show all the information for network recovery image creation – Controls the amount of information that appears during network recovery image creation and installation. The default behavior is to hide this information.

•Show all the information for tape recovery image creation – Controls the amount of information that appears during tape recovery image creation and installation. The default behavior is to hide this information.
