NAME
pkg_rec_depot − create a depot containing Ignite-UX recovery filesets
SYNOPSIS
/opt/ignite/lbin/pkg_rec_depot [ -f ][-? ]
DESCRIPTION
pkg_rec_depot is used to create a software depot on an Ignite-UX server for use in distributing Ignite-
UX software to client systems that use the server for network system recovery (see
make_net_recovery(1M)) and tape system recovery (see make_tape_recovery(1M)). The depot created is
in the directory:
/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds
The depot created by this command is a "packaged-in-place" depot, meaning the depot references the files
as they exist on the system and does not make an extra copy of the files. This reduces the space consumed.
It also means that if you modify any files distributed with Ignite-UX on the server, those modifications will
be propagated to any systems that load from the depot that this command creates.
pkg_rec_depot will create a depot with a bundle entitled IUX-Recovery that contains the software
filesets required to run the make_net_recovery command. It also creates a bundle entitled Ignite-
UX-XX-YY for each FILE-SRV-XX-YY fileset found on the server.
Each of these bundles contains the software filesets required to run the make_tape_recovery com-
mand on a client with HP-UX release XX.YY.
Options
pkg_rec_depot recognizes the following option:
-f Forces pkg_rec_depot to recreate the depot even if the version of the software it cur-
rently contains matches the version loaded on the server. By default, if the depot appears
to have the same fileset versions as that installed on the system, pkg_rec_depot will
not take any actions.
-? Displays the help screen.
International Code Set Support
Ignite-UX uses a variety of system commands to accomplish its functionality. Because the output of many
of these commands is parsed, Ignite-UX ensures that the POSIX locale is normally used by modifying envi-
ronment variables. Help text and some command output not parsed by Ignite-UX will be left in the user’s
specified locale.
WARNINGS
The pkg_rec_depot command will remove the depot
/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds prior to recreating it, so you will lose any previous
modifications made to the depot by pkg_rec_depot.
The depot /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds will be recreated (if it exists) each time
Ignite-UX is installed on the server system in order to update it with the new version being loaded. Any
prior manual modifications to the depot will be lost when Ignite-UX is updated.
