Ignite-UX (IUX) Frequently Asked Questions (July 2013)

# mv "/sbin/%sh" "/sbin/%sh.remove"
Then continue the recovery installation process by typing "exit 2"
(without quotes) and by pressing return. If you move the files to a
name that has something in common, they will be easier to find and
remove post recovery.
Note: Files starting with % (such as /sbin/%sh) are created by
Ignite-UX during a recovery or installation session. These files
remain on a system if an error occurred during the last recovery or
installation before they could be cleaned up. Problems during
recovery or installation should be investigated immediately; failing
to do so can cause problems with subsequent recoveries.

Q: How do I perform two-step recovery?
A: When recovering an Itanium-based system from a recovery image created
with make_tape_recovery that does not support Itanium-based tape
boot, you must perform a two-step recovery. This requires both a
recovery tape of the system and a bootable CD or DVD containing the
same revision of Ignite-UX; for example, C.6.6.x.
If you are using a version of Ignite-UX that does not have a
corresponding set of Operating Environment media, you must create a
custom bootable CD or DVD to recover from the recovery tape.
Instructions on how to create this bootable media are available from
the following locations:
- In the "Creating Your Own Installation Media" chapter of the
"Ignite-UX Administration Guide", available in the Information
Library.
- In the "Ignite-UX Custom Configuration Files White Paper",
available in the Information Library, locate the following section:
"How do I create the CD equivalent of a tape created by
make_tape_recovery?".
Note: /opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples/make_media_install
is an example script delivered with Ignite-UX C.6.2.x and greater.
You can use this script as a guideline to create a bootable CD or
DVD that may be used for dual-media recovery.

Q: How do I retain custom minor number for device files?
A: Ignite-UX provides no functionality to allow you to retain custom
settings for minor numbers in device files. A significant fraction
of device files are recreated using the 'insf -e' command after a
recovery or golden image installation. This includes the
