Chapter 06 Ignite-UX

Ignite-UX fully supports a configuration where only RAID LUNs are presented to a system.

(This includes having a hot spare configured.) Note that the HP PCI/PCI-X SAS MPT Adapter

supports a maximum of two RAID LUNs and a hot spare. These restrictions do not apply to the

P400 Core I/O card. The P400 Core I/O card presents only RAID LUNs to the system; it is not

possible to present individual SAS drives to a system. You must configure the RAID LUNs and

hot spare from EFI before installing the system.

If you have a system containing a mixture of RAID LUNs and individual SAS devices, the

devices used for the RAID LUNs and the global spare should be configured from Bay 8 working

downwards, and the individual SAS drives populated from Bay 1 upwards. Do not change the

configuration after system installation.

Creating SD-UX and non-SD-UX Software Depots

Creating an HP-UX Core-OS Depot

It is assumed that the CD-ROM drive is connected at /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 (to be looked up with #

/usr/bin/ioscan -fnC disk). Note: do not mount the CD-ROM for creating Core-OS

depots.

Example 1: A disk depot for an HP-UX 11.23 installation will be created.

Please insert the HP-UX 11.23 Core-OS DVD-ROM. The depot will be named core_1123 and

will be created at /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23.

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_depots -s /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 -r B.11.23

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_depots -s /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 \

-d /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/core_1123

Example 2: A disk depot for an HP-UX 11.31 installation will be created.

Please insert the HP-UX 11.31 Core-OS DVD-ROM. The depot will be named core and will

be created at /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.31.

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_depots -s /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 -r B.11.31
