Now, you can put these archives and configuration files on the CDs. The first CD contains the LIF
data created using make_medialif and all the configuration files referencing all your archives.
For more information, see make_medialif(1M) and the Ignite-UX Administration Guide at http://
docs.hp.com/en/IUX/infolib.html
The second and subsequent CDs need to have a file system containing only the archive. Do not
use instl_combine on the subsequent CDs as they must not have an LIF area.
Which HP-UX releases support install using vMedia?
HP-UX 11.31 for September 2007, HP-UX 11.23 for December 2007, or a later release is needed
for vMedia install.
How can I use iLO (integrated lights-out) vMedia with Ignite-UX?
If vMedia and the HP-UX kernel perform a very fast, simulated USB DVD device attach during boot,
installation will work as if the vMedia DVD was a built-in DVD device.
It is much more likely that the HP-UX kernel will not discover the boot source device and Ignite-UX
will complain that the source device is not found:
WARNING: Could not find Q_BOOT device. Cannot determine what
the boot device was.
ERROR: Could not get io-device data (ioscan)
WARNING: Could not find source device in ioscan output. You
must select from the list of devices below to use for the
source device:
A few seconds after these messages are displayed, a USB attach message will show on the console.
Use the r (re-scan) option to repeat I/O inventory to detect the vMedia device. After re-scan, select
the vMedia device from the list of possible source devices. This is required because the kernel will
not determine the boot source during re-scan. After selection of the source device, installation will
then continue normally.
