make_tape_recovery question

[Howard Marshall]

Let me start by admitting that I know I could look this up in the docs but have chose the lazy way out and post my question here.

Now, when you do a recovery from a make_tape_recovery tape and choose to interact with the tape there is an advanced tab

In this advanced tab it allows you to run scripts but in my case there are not scripts to run.

There are a couple of things I would like to do in this setp. Can anyone tell me how to get a script into this section so it can be selected and run on the re-install?

Thanks

Advanced Tab

You can use the Advanced tab, as shown in Figure 4-24, â Advanced Tabâ , to activate any HP or custom scripts that you might want to run on the client after the installation has completed. For example, you could include a script to install additional software from other depots or one that contains specific system configuration changes for the intended use of the client.

Two different lists appear on this tab, Scripts to be Executed: and Available Scripts:, and it is important to recognize how they differ.

The scripts that populate the Available Scripts list are derived from the /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file and are identified by the scripts keyword. When you add new scripts to the /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file using manage_index, they are automatically added to this list and are available for use the next time you invoke the Ignite-UX GUI. For example, if you want to add a script called run_fsck located in /var/opt/ignite/scripts, you would use the following command:

manage_index -a -s "/var/opt/ignite/scripts/run_fsck"

For more information, refer to manage_index(1M).

You populate the Scripts to be Executed: list by adding or removing scripts from the Available Scripts: list. Descriptions for each action follow.

Adding a script

To add a script for Ignite-UX to execute after the installation, select the item from Available Scripts: column, then click <---Add---.

For more information regarding the use of scripts to automate Ignite-UX tasks, see Chapter 6. Customizing Your Installation and refer to instl_adm(4).
Removing a script

To remove a script, select it in the Scripts to be Executed: list, then click -Remove->. The item is removed from the list and is not executed after the installation. The removed script remains in the Available Scripts: list for use at another time.

I searched the manual for you and cut and pasted. Even attached the picture.
