Installing and Updating Ignite-UX

Obtaining Ignite-UX from the recovery commands depot

Getting Ignite-UX software from the recovery commands depot requires that you have already

installed and set up an Ignite-UX server. To determine whether the recovery commands depot

exists, type:

# swlist -l depot

Look for /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds in the list of available depots. If the

recovery commands depot is not present, you can create it by running the pkg_rec_depot (1m)

command:

# /opt/ignite/lbin/pkg_rec_depot

If you install additional Ignite-UX components onto an Ignite-UX server, you can force the recovery

commands depot to be recreated:

# /opt/ignite/lbin/pkg_rec_depot -f

Any time you install a new version of Ignite-UX, the recovery_cmds depot is updated

automatically.

Use the swlist (1m) command to verify the content of the recovery commands depot. In the following

example, the command is being run on a system named brwisd02:

# swlist -d -s /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds

# Initializing...

# Contacting target "brwisd02"...

# Target: brwisd02:/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds

# Bundle(s):

The IUX-Recovery bundle is unique to the recovery commands depot and contains only the

filesets required to run make_net_recovery on an Ignite-UX client. The bundle is small because

it does not contain install kernels or install file systems. On clients that will run the

make_net_recovery command, only the IUX-Recovery bundle needs to be installed.

The various Ignite-UX bundles contain the same software as the Ignite-UX bundles on OE media and

the Web download versions of Ignite-UX. They contain the software needed to run the

make_tape_recovery command (including OS-specific install kernels and install file systems)

and consequently are much larger bundles.

If you add a system as a client of an Ignite-UX server and then run a make_net_recovery or

make_tape_recovery command from the ignite (5) user interface, Ignite-UX will automatically

install the correct software from the recovery commands depot. Ignite-UX only updates the software

on the client when make_net_recovery (1M) or make_tape_recovery (1M) are invoked via the ignite

(5) command on the Ignite-UX server. If either of these commands is invoked from the client, Ignite-

UX compares the client version to the server version and will generate one of the following error

messages if they are different.
