• 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.

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>
# manage_index -a -f /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.<XX.YY>/core_cfg
• The B version of IUX now uses the ndd command to turn off subnet mask checking to
allow for subnet masks such as 255.0.0.0. This is only done when installing HP-UX
11.00 or later.
• Removing volumes when recovering a system from a make_*recovery backup now
correctly results in them being commented out of the /etc/fstab file. This also fixes
a problem where if the /var volume was removed, the /var directory was left
renamed to /var_iux after the system was recovered.
