<Server Configuration...> from the Ignite-UX screen. The following describes the quick
setup.
Server options:
 Select the <Default Configuration> box and highlight the Operating System to
use from the list. When doing a client installation, this configuration will be
installed on targets if no other is specified. The default setting can be overridden
on a per-client basis by Ignite-UX.
 Click on the <Default Printer> list to display the available (configured)
printers. Select the one to use. If needed, use SAM’s <Default Printer> area to
configure a new printer onto the system. This will be the printer for printing the
manifest or installation history. The printer address will be checked by Ignite-UX
before a job is sent.
 Select the appropriate <Client Timeout (minutes)> time, or choose <off> , to
set the time limit for the client to be connected without responding. This will set a
limit on the time since the client install log has been written in. Some points in the
installation may require 15 to 30 minutes. A warning note will be displayed if this
time is exceeded. Setting Client Timeout to <off> disables this notification.
 Use the <Run client installation UI on> list to designate where it desired to
see the client User Interface for the installation. If an Ignite-UX server configured
is, the option is available of running the client installation interface from either the
<target> (as a Terminal User Interface) or the Ignite-UX <server> (as the ignite
screen). If the client installation is to be non-interactive (no interface), select
<none>. The default location for the interface display is the Ignite-UX <server>.
 At <Configure Booting IP Addresses…> enter IP addresses that have not been
assigned to a client or reserve the IP of an Ignite-UX client to its LLA address
(MAC address). Ignite-UX uses these IP's temporarily to boot clients. If marked
as a reserved IP, only the client with the corresponding MAC address can be
booted with this IP.
 Optionally edit the /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab file manually (for more
help see the file itself):
# /usr/bin/vi /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab
15.1.53.180
15.1.53.181:
Example: /etc/0x08000969DE78::reserve
As an alternative, the /etc/bootptab or DHCP can be used for assigning
temporary boot IP's (Do not use DHCP unless very familiar with it).
