Installing and Updating Ignite-UX

Either:

The version of the tools used for system recovery on <client> is newer

than the version found on the server system <server>. You need to

either update the version of Ignite-UX on the server or down-date the

version on <client>.

Or:

The version of the tools used for system recovery on <client> is older

than the version found on the server system <server>. It is recommended

that you update Ignite-UX to the same version.

Ignite-UX makes no attempt to update the client’s software.

Important:

The Ignite-UX bundles from the recovery commands depot can be

installed onto any supported HP-UX release, even if the version of Ignite-

UX that was installed onto the Ignite-UX server was packaged as release

specific (as from OE media).

Installing and updating Ignite-UX

To decide what parts of Ignite-UX should be installed, consider the following factors:

1. The HP-UX releases that Ignite-UX needs to support in your environment

2. Previous installations of Ignite-UX software

Refer to the table in the previous section, “Downloading Ignite-UX from the Web“ for information on

what Ignite-UX bundles you need to support your environment.

If Ignite-UX is already installed on your system and you simply want to update it to a newer version,

make sure you update all the currently installed Ignite-UX bundles. To determine what bundles are

currently installed, use the swlist (1m) command:

# swlist -l bundle | grep Ignite

If this command yields something similar to the following, then you have the full Ignite-UX product

(B5725AA or IGNITE) installed:

IGNITE C.7.2.94 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)

If you find Ignite-UX bundles for more than one HP-UX release, the simplest strategy is to install the

B5725AA or IGNITE bundle. Alternatively, you can supply multiple bundle names when you

execute the swinstall (1m) command.

As a best practice, do not swremove Ignite-UX before updating to a new version. Doing

so will cause some files to be reset, including the INDEX file, thus you will lose any

customizations.
