Q: How do I update my Ignite-UX server to a new version?
A: In general, each new version of Ignite-UX is compatible with any
scripts or configuration files that were delivered with older
versions.
If you follow some simple guidelines, updating to a new version of
Ignite-UX involves running swinstall to install the new version; this
is the same procedure as installing it for the first time. There is
no need to remove the old version. If you are unsure of exactly what
to install to perform the update please read the white paper
"Installing and Updating Ignite-UX" available from the following URL:
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/infolib.html
Updating to a new version of Ignite-UX preserves any changes you have
made to files under the /var/opt/ignite and /etc/opt/ignite
directories. Changes to any files under /opt/ignite are "LOST"
during the update. HP does not recommend changes to any files under
/opt/ignite.
Guidelines for ensuring easy updates:
- Do not modify any files under the /opt/ignite directory. If you
need to modify any configuration files under /opt/ignite, copy them
to an equivalent directory under /var/opt/ignite then modify the
INDEX file to use them in the new location instead. Some files and
scripts contain comments that describe the recommended modification
procedure to use.
If you must modify files under /opt/ignite, then save a copy of
your changes so you can restore the changes to the new files after
updating Ignite-UX if necessary.
- Make sure you install all of the Ignite-UX filesets you had
previously so you do not end up with a combination of old filesets
and new filesets.
