Ignite-UX: How to disable the question "Do u want to use the previous installation session settings"

[Bejoy C Alias]

I am configuring the ignite-ux server to use manual installation , but it should populate the File System parameters mentioned in the client specific configuration file under /var/opt/ignite/clients/0xMAC/config. When I boot the ignite client and start the manual installation , while opening the Ignite-UI , it opens a popup and asks "Settings from a previous installation session were found at
startup. Do you wish to retain these settings for the
current session? ". Is it possible to disable this popup ? I want to use the configuration mentioned in the client specific config file without asking the question, and the user should be allowed to modify these parameters if he needs.

Hi Benoy,


Whenever a client is registered with the ignite server either by the way of adding a client to the server or by installation once or by installing and interrupting once the config is kept and retained by the server for that client mapped to client's MACaddress.

the warning that u r getting u can simply answer with a NO and then u can continue the installation of the client with the way u want to configure the client installation.

The only ways I know to turn off this pop-up involve ignoring using the previous config:
- "bootsys -f" will force ignoring the previous config
- _hp_ignore_prior_config=true will also do this

I am not aware of a way to turn off the pop-up and use the previous install data.

For a manual user, it is a good question:
"start from scratch, or do what we did before"?

Bonjour Bejoy,

On your ignite server, under /var/opt/ignite/client/0xMAC, remove everything but CINDEX file and recovery directory. CINDEX and recovery contains informations about all existing recovery image from the client identified by 0xMAX. There are mandatory to access images and that's why you must keep them. Most of others files contains informations from latest installation or are not mandatory.

My ultimate aim was to disable the popup AND USE the client specific configuration file. But it seems its not possible to Aviod the popup AND use the config file , even though its possible to disable the popop AND IGNORE the old session config by using the _hp_ignore_prior_config=true parameter as mentioned by Scot.
Thank you guys ...
