Ignite-UX" What/Where to Modify so VG00 has custom sizes and names?

[Alzhy]

Fairly new to Ignite-UX, been using its most basic features.. lan boots, Golden Images, etc..

Now I need to make sure all our Ignites result in partitions being sized and named to our standards so the Admin need not go through the gyrations at the Ignite-UX Dialogue.

Where do I modify this?

[Steven E. Protter]

Generally I modify the INDEX file copy and base a basic configuration and create the new names.

Then, I run /opt/ignite/bin/ignite and customize and save the profiles there.

Last, I run instl_adm -T to make sure none of my manual edits didn't screw up.

Examples perhaps - Oh Great SEP?

Finally able to download the Ignite (Dec 2003) Document... and documentation is atually good..

/var/opt/ignite/config.local

Ohh. and just like Solaris Jumpstart and RedHAt KickStart -- Ignite/UX is full of customizability..

Where
------
Some people use multiple ignite config files to define their ignite installs.

The one you mention, /var/opt/ignite/config.local, will certainly work.

The /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file contains the order the various config files are processed. You may want to ensure that your customizations are listed last here, so that that they stick.

What
-------
Here is an example of custom/standard config stuff you can do on a VG00 filesystem:

...
volume_group "vg00" {
max_physical_extents=4374
max_logical_vols=255
max_physical_vols=16
physical_extent_size=8
minor_number=0x00
usage=LVM
physical_volume disk[*=_hp_root_grp_disks]
logical_volume "lvol1" {
usage=VxFS
size=520000KB
blksize=8192
mount_point="/stand"
largefiles=FALSE
bad_block_relocate=false
contiguous_allocation=true
stripes=0
stripe_size=0KB
minor_number=0x01
disk[_hp_root_disk]
} # end logical_volume
logical_volume "lvol2" {
...

You can generate a config file from an existing system with the

/opt/ignite/bin/save_config

command. Play with that output, save it, customize it.

Also refer to

man 4 instl_adm

for a complete list of ignite config file syntax. Can be very powerful.
