Specifying Defaults in the config.local File

The /var/opt/ignite/config.local file is normally included in every configuration (cfg) clause in the /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file. It provides a convenient location, in which to store default parameters that are the same for all configurations. Typically these are networking parameters, default software selections and kernel modifications.

The following is an example of what a config.local file could look like. The sw_sel definitions depend on what you have defined in other configuration files on the Ignite-UX server.

dns_domain="corp.com"
dns_nameserver[0] = "10.2.72.2" 
nis_domain="corpdomain"
wait_for_nis_server=FALSE 
root_password="JPDw02THwAhiQ" 
timezone="MST7MDT" 
ntpdate_server="10.1.48.1"
init sw_sel "Misc_Patches"=TRUE
init sw_sel "B3919DA_AGP"=TRUE
mod_kernel += "maxuprc 100" 
set_kernel += "dbc_max_pct 20"




	NOTE: After making manual edits to `config.local`, always use the following command to verify that the syntax is correct and to avoid installation errors: `instl_adm -T -f config.local`
