new at 11i
original release
Ignite-UX (IUX) is an HP-UX administration toolset to help you install and configure (or
recover) HP-UX systems.
The complete Ignite-UX product, with support for HP-UX 11i, 11.0 and 10.20, is
available on the first CD of the 11i OE media kit.
NOTE Ignite-UX will not be installed by default when updating the entire operating system
from 10.20 or 11.00 to 11i even if the system currently is an Ignite-UX server.
NOTE If you are using Ignite-UX version B.3.3 and experiencing any problems, upgrade to
version B.3.5.
Ignite-UX has been updated to version 3.5 in the December 2001 Operating
Environment. For details, see “Ignite-UX” on page 97 in Chapter 4.
Updating your Ignite-UX server to 11i and Ignite -UX version B.3.4 or newer will ensure
that you have the latest version of make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery. The
command make_net_recovery has added most of the command line options that used to
only be in make_recovery. The command make_tape_recovery is the replacement for
make_recovery and allows you to control tape creation on a client system from your
Ignite-UX server. For details on updating an Ignite-UX server, see Chapter 3 of the
HP-UX 11i Installation and Update Guide.
If you are cold installing a system, you can select Ignite-UX from the software selection
screen to be installed at the same time the rest of the OS is installed.
By default, running Ignite-UX will install the core HP-UX 11i files, networking drivers,
and the OE. You can deselect the OE but you cannot install an OE subset using
Ignite-UX. Also, some of the networking drivers are not deselectable.
Impact
Although Ignite-UX, Version B, no longer supports the installation of 10.01 and 10.10
machines for 11i, it will continue to support 10.20 and later operating system revisions.
In addition, Version B will only operate on HP-UX machines that have at least 64MB of
RAM. (Previously, HP-UX machines that had at least 32MB of RAM were supported.
Version A is not affected by these changes.)
