Ignite-UX Server Setup: Overview
1. Install HP-UX.
2. Install the Ignite-UX software.
3. Set up the core HP-UX software.
4. Add additional applications (optional).
5. Run ignite to complete the configuration and to start the process.
Note: All operations are executed as "privileged user" on the Ignite-UX server. Except where
noted, all commands referenced here are located in /opt/ignite/bin. (See the "privi-
leges" manpage for more information on the privileged user.)
Ignite-UX Server Setup: Details
1. Install HP-UX
Refer to the HP-UX 11i Installation and Update Guide and Read Before Installing or Updat-
ing to HP-UX 11i for the revision of HP-UX 11i that you wish to install or update for instruc-
tions.
2. Install Ignite-UX software.
The Ignite-UX tool-set is contained on the HP-UX application set of CD-ROMs. The soft-
ware bundles are named as follows: Ignite-UX-11-31, Ignite-UX-11-23,
Ignite-UX-11-11, and Ignite-UX-11-00. Each software bundle contains the Ignite-
UX tools in addition to the data files required for support of the particular HP-UX release
indicated by the bundle name. You may load one or more of the Ignite-UX bundles onto your
server depending on which releases of HP-UX you plan on installing onto clients. The entire
set of releases is supported with the IGNITE bundle.
Once the application CD-ROM containing Ignite-UX has been mounted, you may use the
swinstall command to load the desired Ignite-UX bundles. For example, the command
below would load the support needed for installing HP-UX 11.23 onto clients assuming the
CD-ROM is mounted at /cdrom:
swinstall -s /cdrom Ignite-UX-11-23
3. Set up core HP-UX software.
Before Ignite-UX may be used, you must configure the software for it to load onto the clients.
Since both SD sources and archive (non-SD) sources (tar, cpio, or pax) may be used,
both cases will be considered separately below.
For SD operating system software:
For Ignite-UX to use an SD source, you must have a registered SD depot available
and an Ignite-UX configuration file generated from that depot.
If you already have an SD depot containing the core HP-UX software, you may
enable Ignite-UX’s access it by using the make_config and manage_index
commands.
You may also use the Server Setup wizard available from the Welcome screen of the
Ignite-UX server and from the Actions menu. The wizard is self-explanatory.
