Trying to use _hp_ignore_sw_impact

[Joel Shank]

Has anyone used the _hp_ignore_sw_impact variable in ignite? I am trying to use it, but continuously get a syntax error. I have tried specifying it in every way I could think of, and in both the source and sw_sel clauses, but to no avail.

Where should it be specified and how should it be specified?

Thanks for the help :-)

Hi Joel,

You don't say how you've used it. Its usage is:

init _hp_ignore_sw_impact=1


So for example, at the beginning of my save_config created config file I see:

_hp_cfg_detail_level="iIbnpvcdSsgrlLtfh"
#
# Variable assignments
#
init _hp_boot_dev_path="8/16/5.1.0"
init _hp_default_cur_lan_dev="8/16/6"


What happened when you tried insert this special variable here ?

Regards,

Sarah

Hi Sarah

Thanks for answering my post. I am trying to disable impact calculations for a patch depot that I am installing along with the HPUX 11.00 OS. Ignite is computing the space requirements improperly for this and forcing me to use twice the disk space that I know I need. (I know this because several other servers used half what Ignite said I'd need after Ignite completed).

I have put _hp_ignore_sw_impact=1 in the sw_source clause and also in the sw_sel clauses, but when I run it thru the instl_adm -T command is flags this as a syntax error.

Do I have to specify it in a different config file? If so, where is it? The config files I am using are located in /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.00/config_files.

Thanks for your assistance -- jls
