ignite default filesystems

Russell James Walicki — Wed, 15 Oct 2003 09:15:23 GMT

I've created a golden image from a hpux 11.00 install that has only 3 filesystems (/, /stand, and swap). Whenever I attempt to ignite a workstation with this image, no matter which settings I use, I always get a /home filesystem listed in the File System tab of the itool in addition to the three created in the golden image. How do I set up the config files so I get only the three filesystem I want and eliminate the /home filesystem?

Hi Russel,

go into the /var/adm/ignite/INDEX file.
There is one definition that is marked as TRUE ie.

{
....
....
...
}=TRUE

That is your default configuration for ignite.
One of that files that is listed in that definition has a difinition for /home dir.

Check that !!!

thanks but no help there. Both the config files for the }=TRUE setup do not have any references to /home other than the IMPACTS statement.

from the INDEX file

cfg "HP-UX11 SECURE FINAL Images" {
description "07/29/2003: 32 bit final secured image."
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.00/config"
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.00/hw_patches_cfg"
"/var/opt/ignite/core11-SECURE-PFS.pfs"
"/var/opt/ignite/config11-SECURE-PFS.pfs"
}=TRUE

myprod:/var/opt/ignite# grep home config11-SECURE-PFS.pfs
myprod:/var/opt/ignite# grep home core11-SECURE-PFS.pfs
impacts = "/home" 1Kb
impacts = "/home" 6Kb

You might be able to change the configuration as follows:

/opt/ignite/bin/ignite

Open up the appropriate configuration:

Actions install client
new install
Go to the filesystem option in the Ignite interface, make your changes, remove the /home and other filesystems, save the configuration.

I can't test this for you, but it might work.

SEP - Great idea that worked fine - never thought of using the ignite gui to change and save the config. Good call.
