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

Q: How can I make configuration file additions to all recovery configurations
for a given client?
A: Create a new Ignite-UX configuration file called
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0x<LLA>/recovery/config.local. This
config.local file is automatically included into your recovery
configuration for this client each time you run the make_net_recovery
command. The make_net_recovery command is run for you when you use
the Ignite-UX GUI for network recovery.
If you already have recovery configurations for this client and would
like them to include the config.local file, edit the
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0x<LLA>/CINDEX file to include a reference to
recovery/config.local in all of the configuration clauses.

Q: How can I select from the standard file system layouts during a recovery?
A: It is possible to change the way your disks are configured when you
recover from an image saved by make_net_recovery. To do so, you must
modify the /var/opt/ignite/clients/0x<LLA>/CINDEX file for the client
you are recovering.
The CINDEX file contains one or more configuration clauses that refer
to the recovery images you have previously created with
make_net_recovery. Add a new configuration file entry to the clause
from which you intend to recover. If you want to add the HP standard
file system choices, add the file:
# /opt/ignite/data/Rel_<release>/config
where <release> is the operating system release on the client you
intend to recover. For example, /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/config
would be added for a client with the HP-UX 11.23 operating system.
This new configuration file entry should be the first entry in the
clause you are modifying.
When you launch the Ignite-UX during recovery, select the file system
type you wish to use on the "Basic" tab.

Q: I replaced the client machine and the LAN address is now different.
How can I restore the new machine from the old client network
recovery archive?
A: Ignite-UX uses a separate directory for each client under
/var/opt/ignite/clients. Each subdirectory is named based on the
client's LAN address (MAC address, LLA, etc.).
If you replace the client hardware or the LAN card that the old LAN
address was based on, then it can no longer access the same directory
on the Ignite-UX server.
