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

Below is a list of typical usages and a list of what parts of
Ignite-UX you need. If you are not concerned with disk space, it is
easiest just to install the bundles for the HP-UX releases you plan
to work with. For all cases the IUX.IGNT-ENG-A-MAN fileset can be
omitted or removed if you do not want on-line documentation.
- Ignite-UX server to install HP-UX on clients - Install the
Ignite-UX bundles for each HP-UX release which you plan to install
onto clients.
- Ignite-UX server to support network recovery for clients - Install
the full Ignite-UX bundle for each version of HP-UX that your
clients are running. It maybe easier to install the B5725AA bundle
(for versions of Ignite-UX before C.7.0) or IGNITE (for versions of
Ignite-UX from C.7.0). Note that the IGNITE bundle is the same as
the B5725AA bundle - it is only a new name.
- Using only make_tape_recovery on clients create the recovery
commands depot on your Ignite server and install the HP-UX release
specific bundle applicable to your system or if you have downloaded
Ignite-UX from the web install the release specific version of
Ignite-UX from that depot. That bundle contains everything
required to create a recovery tape.
- Using only make_net_recovery on a client - The filesets a client
needs are normally installed by the Ignite-UX GUI to each client
from the depot created by pkg_rec_depot. The bundle IUX-Recovery
should be installed from the recovery commands depot to support
make_net_recovery.
- A network boot helper system - To setup a client on a remote subnet
that is used just to allow clients to boot from the network, and
then contact a remote Ignite-UX server, all you need is
Ignite-UX.MinimumRuntime.
Keep in mind that it is not a good idea to install a combination of
different versions of Ignite-UX filesets on a client. So if you
decide to update just a subset of Ignite-UX, you may want to use
swremove to remove the portions you no longer need.

Q: How can I copy Ignite-UX from media to a local depot such that
Ignite-UX from this new local depot will be installable on all HP-UX
B.11.* systems?
A: The media versions of Ignite-UX have the "os_release" attribute set
to match the revision of the media (i.e., B.11.11 or B.11.23 or
B.11.31). A user may copy the Ignite-UX bundles from media into a
local depot and run swmodify to change the value of the "os_release"
attribute to be "wide open" (i.e., it will then be installable on all
HP-UX B.11.* systems).
