DESCRIPTION
make_medialif
creates a bootable LIF media image file (a Logical Interchange Format volume inside
an ordinary file). This image file may be copied to a DDS tape or to a writable CD or DVD to create
Ignite-UX install media.
Errors are always logged to
stderr.
Options
make_medialif recognizes the following options:
-f config_file Specifies an Ignite-UX config file to put in a LIF file named
CONFIG in the LIF
volume. If multiple
-f options are given, the specified files are concatenated into
CONFIG in the order they appear on the command line. (This CONFIG file is refer-
enced in a cfg clause in an Ignite-UX INDEX file also placed in the LIF volume;
this cfg clause uses a default description string.) Either this option or one of
the -F, -c,or -m options is required.
-F config_file Specifies an Ignite-UX config file similar to -f
, but creates multiple CONFIG1,2,...
LIF files in the LIF volume, each with a corresponding cfg clause in the
INDEX file
whose tag-string is based on
-C options intermixed with -F options. Either this
option or one of the -f, -c,or -m options is required.
-c cfg_clause Specifies an Ignite-UX cfg clause (tag-string) in the
/var/opt/ignite/data/INDEX
file from which to get config file information.
(Enclose
cfg_clause in quotes if it contains whitespace.) All config files listed in
this clause are concatenated together in the order specified in the INDEX file to
form a single config file named CONFIG in the LIF volume. If there is a description
for this cfg clause, it is preserved in the INDEX file in the LIF volume; otherwise
a default is provided. Either this option or one of the -f, -F
,or -m options is
required.
-C cfg_clause Specifies the tag-string to use in the INDEX file in the LIF volume for the cfg
clause that references the CONFIG file (or with -F, the next CONFIG1,2,... file).
(Enclose cfg_clause in quotes if it contains whitespace.) With one or more -f
options, the default tag-string is "HP-UX release Default", where release is as
described in the -r option. With the -c option, the default tag-string is the same
as the one specified with -c.
-r release Specifies the OS release for this LIF volume (boot image), such as B.11.23. Physi-
cal media can only be used to boot one HP-UX OS release, although multiple types
of install kernels and RAM file system files may be included for that release using
the -a option. The default release is the output of uname -r, that is, matching
the release of the HP-UX system on which the command is run.
-o 32|64v|64w|IA
Specifies whether the LIF volume (boot image) should support hardware (install
kernel) type 32-bit (PA-RISC), 64-bit (V-class PA-RISC), wide 64-bit (PA-RISC), or
Itanium-based. The default is to match the system on which the command is run.
For convenience, 64 may be used as a synonym for 64v, and any of ia, ipf,or
IPF may be used as a synonym for IA. This option cannot be combined with the
