Installing and Updating Ignite-UX

Mismatched filesets after updating to version C.7.0 or later

Ignite-UX version C.7.0 fixes a defect in the pkg_rec_depot command. From Ignite-UX version

C.6.0 to C.6.10, the command contained a defect that caused all the BOOT-KRN-11-XX filesets to

be included in every Ignite-UX-11-XX bundle in the recovery commands depot

(/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds).

Note:

This issue does not affect the network recovery bundle IUX-Recovery,

any Ignite-UX-11-XX bundle from media, or the Web download

version of Ignite-UX.

If you use the recovery commands depot to perform an update to Ignite-UX version C.7.0, it will

end with warnings. If Ignite-UX is updated because you have started a make_tape_recovery

command on a client from the Ignite server, the make_tape_recovery command will fail

because of mismatched filesets.

You will only see this issue if you have installed the full Ignite-UX bundle B5725AA on the Ignite

server, or if you have installed more than one Ignite-UX-11-XX bundle on the Ignite server.

To work around this issue, you have to perform one of the following:

1. Remove all Ignite-UX software from all clients that have installed Ignite-UX from a recovery

commands depot containing Ignite-UX versions C.6.0 to C.6.10. Once the Ignite server has been

updated to Ignite-UX version C.7.0 or later, Ignite-UX can be installed again from the recovery

commands depot. Note that starting a make_tape_recovery command from the Ignite user

interface will cause Ignite-UX to be installed from the recovery commands depot – you do not

need to install Ignite-UX if you normally create recovery tapes this way.

2. After updating Ignite-UX to version C.7.0 or later and determining that you have mixed fileset

revisions, perform the following tasks. First run the swlist command as follows to determine the

revisions of the mixed filesets.

# swlist | grep –i ignite

Ignite-UX-11-23 C.7.0.106 HP-UX Installation Utilities for

Installing 11.23 Systems

Ignite-UX C.6.1.44 HP-UX System Installation Services

For each line in the output that shows Ignite-UX, perform the next action:

#swremove Ignite-UX,r=

C.6.1.44

It is critical you provide the revision with the swremove command, or you might remove

software you did not intend to remove. You must also use the revision shown in the swlist

output, not the revision shown in the example swremove command. Normally, you should only

see one line with the product Ignite-UX, however if you had mismatched filesets previously

and never addressed the issue, it is possible you may see more than one line.
