SETTINGS.TXT Parameters

SETTINGS.TXT is a plain text file that contains various parameters, each on a separate line. Each

parameter has the general format of

PARAMETER=value. Lines that begin with a pound sign (#)

are comments and are ignored during the imaging bootup process.

The format and function of each parameter in the SETTINGS.TXT file are described in the table

below.

Parameter Specifies

PROMPT Whether to prompt for each configuration setting when you boot a computer from the imaging device. If

you leave this parameter commented out or set it to No, the computer boots using the configuration

settings specified in SETTINGS.TXT and you can’t override the settings during bootup unless you type

config at the boot prompt before the Linux operating system begins to load. If you set this parameter to

Yes, you are automatically prompted for each configuration setting during bootup.

MANUALREBOOT Whether you must reboot a computer manually after it was booted from the imaging device in automatic

mode. (If the computer was booted from the imaging device in manual mode, you must always reboot the

computer manually.)

If you boot a computer from the imaging device and you let the bootup process proceed in automatic

mode, the imaging engine starts up and checks the imaging server to see if an imaging operation should

be performed on the computer. If so, it performs the imaging operation and then quits. If not, it quits without

doing anything. What happens next depends on how you set this parameter. If you leave it commented

out or set it to No, you are prompted to remove the imaging device (if necessary) and press any key to

reboot the computer to the native operating system. If you set this parameter to Yes, the computer doesn't

reboot automatically but instead displays the Linux prompt, allowing you to perform additional imaging-

related tasks using the Linux menu or at the command line. This is helpful if you want to do things like

check the current partition information or the image-safe data before booting to the native operating

system.

PARTITIONSIZE The number of megabtyes to allocate to the imaging (Linux) partition if you choose to create one locally

on a computer when you boot the computer from the imaging device. The default size is 15 MB, which is

the smallest you should make the partition. The maximum size allowed is 2048 MB (2 GB). If you plan to

store an image in the Linux partition, such as to enable the computer to be restored to a certain state

without connecting to the network, you might want to specify a larger size on this parameter.

Example:

PARTITIONSIZE=500

IPADDR The IP address used by a computer to communicate on the network when you boot the computer from

the imaging device, if a static IP address is needed.

Example:

IPADDR=137.65.95.126

If you want DHCP to be used, leave this and the next two parameters commented out.

NETMASK The subnet mask to be used by the computer, if the computer is using a static IP address.

Example: NETMASK=255.255.252.0

If DHCP is being used, leave this parameter commented out.

GATEWAY The IP address of the gateway (router) to be used by the computer, if the computer is using a static IP

address.

Example:

GATEWAY=137.65.95.254

If DHCP is being used, leave this parameter commented out.
