Ignite-UX Frequently Asked Questions

2. Disable DNS so that /etc/hosts is used:
# mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.save
3. Set your client's host name:
# /sbin/rc1.d/S320hostname start
4. Set up loop back networking:
# /sbin/rc2.d/S008net.init start
5. Start the networking daemon:
# swagentd
6. Start the recovery tool you intend to use
[make_tape_recovery/make_recovery]:
# [make_tape_recovery/make_recovery]
Note: The -s option of make_tape_recovery is not supported in the
single user mode.
7. When complete, return the resolv.conf file to it's original location:
# mv /etc/resolv.conf.save /etc/resolv.conf
After you have shutdown to single user mode, use this procedure:
1. Mount all file systems:
# /sbin/mountall
2. Start the SD-UX daemon:
# swagentd -r
3. Start the recovery tool you intend to use
[make_tape_recovery/make_recovery]:

Q: Why are there invalid disk device files left behind after some
recoveries?
A: When Ignite-UX performs a recovery operation, it can create device
files for disks that are discovered when the client boots from the
installation kernel. During the recovery process, Ignite-UX performs
actions to preserve the original instance numbers of those disks.
After the final client boot, the disks will have the original
instance numbers; however, Ignite-UX does not attempt to clean up
disk devices which no longer have hardware devices associated with
them.
The existence of these device files presents no problem to HP-UX.
This is only known to cause problems with one third party product as
it expects all disk devices to have hardware associated with them.
To remove the device files that no longer have hardware associated
with them, the following commands should be executed:
# lssf /dev/*dsk/* | grep '\?\?\?'
# rmsf "names of files found with the previous command"

Q: How can I install additional software from depots during a recovery?
A: In situations where a system needs additional software installed to
support restoring a recovery archive onto a different hardware
platform, or perhaps a vPar or HP-VM, you can load additional
software from a depot during the recovery.
To do this, generate a config file using make config for the depot
