• Secondary swap space on a two-disk system will reside only on disk two for better
performance.
For more information on these changes, including how to use Ignite-UX to maintain
earlier file system settings for these parameters, refer to the Ignite-UX Release Notes for
B.3.7, which can be found in /opt/ignite/doc/release_note and at the web site
http://software.hp.com/products/IUX. For further Ignite-UX documentation, see
“Documentation” on page 151.

Ignite-UX has been updated to version B.3.6 to support changes to the Operating
Environments. Changes to B.3.6 include the following:
• An IUX feature has been enhanced so that newly installed core components and
patches will be swmodify’ed with the correct file data to avoid swverify problems
with those files.
• To avoid accidental tape rewinding, the print_manifest command will no longer
call diskinfo (or provide a tape capacity estimate) for tape devices.
For further documentation, see “Documentation” on page 151.

Ignite-UX version B.3.5 includes the following changes:
• Drivers such as X.25 (nioxb) now have their driver binding preserved during a
recovery. This prevents them from becoming “unclaimed” after a recovery.
• The hw_instance_num config file keyword includes a new optional driver parameter.
See the instl_adm (4) manpage for more information.
• The save_config command now sets the above driver parameter. A check was also
added that ensures that the hardware path is of the format expected by the parser
for HW_instance_num. This fixes the problem introduced by the sdm driver which has
a hardware path of “es” for the virtbus class.
• Ignite-UX servers that have multiple IP addresses assigned to a single network card
now work correctly—as far as doing network boots using instl_bootd is concerned.
However, this does not fix the issue documented in the FAQ item #1.9. The FAQ (a
text file) is installed with Ignite-UX in /opt/ignite/share/doc/FAQ.
• Ignite-UX now supports setting the block size for VxVS file systems. Previously this
was only allowed to default. The user interface now permits this to be set to valid
values and the save_config command saves it in order to restore it for a recovery. A
sanity check now tests for valid values (also covering block sizes for HFS file
systems) and applies this when laying out VxFS file systems.
• If an OS archive image contains volume group files (for example, the directory
/dev/vg00 and the files underneath that), and the major and minor numbers match
ones that have been created but have a different name (like if vg00 was renamed
bpr00), then the /dev/vg00 directory and its contents will be removed and the
action logged to install.log. This avoids problems with commands like swapinfo
which would report incorrect information since it would find /dev/vg00 before
/dev/bpr00.
• Additional sanity checks have been added to check for invalid mount points. This
includes a missing mount point, a null string mount point, and a mount point that
does not begin with a slash (“/”) character.
• The subdirectory /etc/opt/OV (part of OpenView) is now permitted to be a mount
point.
