systemimager.conf - configuration file for SystemImager server

The systemimager.conf file residing in the /etc/systemimager directory controls the default behavior of commands run on the SystemImager server. It is parsed by the AppConfig Perl module, and uses simple name/value pairs.

The follow stanzas exist in the systemimager.conf file

DEFAULT_IMAGE_DIR

The directory where images are stored. The default set in the file is /var/lib/systemimager/images. If your image repository exists else where you can set this variable to change that. This variable is used by getimage and mksimachine to determine where to put the created image.

AUTOINSTALL_SCRIPT_DIR

The directory where autoinstall scripts are stored. The default set in the file is /var/lib/systemimager/scripts. This is use by mkautoinstallscript to determine where the autoinstall script for an image should be created. It is also used by addclients, and mksimachine, and mksirange to determine where the client scripts should be created.

AUTOINSTALL_BOOT_DIR

The top level directory where the boot kernel, ramdisk, and other architecture specific utilities exist. The installed default for this is $PREFIX/share/systemimager, where CW$PREFIX is the installed prefix for all the SystemImager tools. In this directory will exist a number of architecture specific directories of the format CW$ARCH-boot (e.g. i386-boot, ia64-boot, etc.). The variable is used by mkautoinstallcd, mkautoinstalldiskette and mkbootserver.

RSYNCD_CONF

The local of the rsyncd.conf file associated with SystemImager. The installed default is /etc/systemimager/rsyncd.conf.

CONFIG_DIR

The directory this file resides in.

CONFIG_DIR seems redundant, as you can't parse the file unless you know where it is.
