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.
• The make_bundles command was incorrectly putting the entire product into
bundles created when only a list of filesets on the command line were given. This
ended up causing clients added for recovery from the ignite GUI to have the entire
Ignite-UX product loaded instead of the subset needed for make_net_recovery as
intended. If you don’t need the entire Ignite-UX product on the clients (that is, if you
don’t use make_tape_recovery), you can manually remove the
Ignite-UX.FILE-SRV-* filesets on the clients to free up space.
• The make_medialif command no longer prevents the usage of the -a and -o
options to B.11.00 releases and later. There are clients which can run 10.20 and
which require the WINSTALL kernel from the B-version of Ignite-UX in order to be
installed. Now that it is possible to create a LIF header for such 10.20 clients which
would include both WINSTAL and 10.20 SYSCMDS.
• An issue was found that will cause newer PA-RISC workstations running the
B-version of IUX with the HP-UX 10.20 to be unable to boot from a tape created with
either make_tape_recovery or make_recovery. This issue has been fixed with
this version of IUX. There is no issue with these same systems using version A of
IUX. (See section #1.20 in the FAQ for more information including a workaround.
The FAQ, a text file, is installed with IUX in /opt/ignite/share/doc/FAQ.)
• If a mount point contains a symbolic link, it will now follow the same rules for
archival as all other mount points. It either needs to be specifically included or
marked as an essential item or it needs to be on a volume group or whole disk that
already contains some item that has been included or marked as an essential item. If
neither of these cases are met, then the mount point will not be included in the
archive.
updated for
September 2001
The following changes are included in Ignite-UX version B.3.4:
• If the DNS domain has been set, the line in the /etc/hosts file for the system being
installed will be written out as:
<IP address><tab><hostname>.<domain> <hostname>
For example:
15.16.17.18 myhost.corp.com myhost
If the DNS domain has not been set, only the hostname without domain is used.
• The add_release command is not supported for the B.11.11 release and beyond. This
command will be completely obsoleted in a future release. Instead of add_release,
you may use the following commands:
# make_depots -d <depot name> -s <source_device>
# make_config -c /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B. <XX.YY> /core_cfg -s <depot
name>
