This version can be installed on any server running one of the above releases of HP-UX when
downloaded from the Web.
Ignite-UX version C.7.10.472 contains the following new features:
• Ignite-UX now supports boot, dump, swap and data volumes for LVM volume group version
2.2 for HP-UX 11iv3, as well as the earlier version 1.0. This new LVM volume group version
supports higher limits on parameters such as "Max VG Size", "Max VGs"and "Max LVs" as
compared to LVM volume group version 1.0. More information on LVM volume group version
2.2 can be found at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs .
On this page, select “HP-UX 11i Volume Management (LVM/VxVM) Software”.
NOTE: Ignite-UX does not support either LVM volume group versions 2.0 or 2.1 for HP-UX
11iv3.
• An updated version of the copy_boot_tape command is shipped in this version of Ignite-UX.
The new version of copy_boot_tape can be used replicate a PA-RISC boot tape to another
PA-RISC boot tape, as well as an IPF boot tape to another IPF boot tape. Refer to
copy_boot_tape(1M) for new options to support PA-RISC as well as IPF boot tapes. The -a, -b,
-m and -r options of the command have been deprecated from this version. The old version of
copy_boot_tape can be found in /opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples/
copy_boot_tape. This will be removed in a later version. There is no guarantee that
copy_boot_tape will successfully copy tapes created by non-Ignite-UX tools.
• The "ignite" command has been enhanced to have several new "major modes" for managing
the server and client operations. See the updated ignite(1M) man page for details.
• Instance numbers for device class autoch (tape autochangers) will now be preserved during
system recovery.
