The IMM size is the size of the initial memory module on HP 9000 (PA-RISC) systems. The
first memory module must be large enough to hold the install kernel and install file system.
If installing HP-UX 11i v3, the boot disk must be at least 9 GB. HP-UX 11i v3 requires more
space on the HP-UX boot disk than prior HP-UX releases.
Ignite-UX version C.7.13 contains the following new features:
Significant changes to the default system configuration for HP-UX 11i v2 have been made to
support software added to HP-UX after initial release, better handle larger mass storage devices
and support future updates to other HP-UX releases. In particular, the default sizes of /stand
and / have been increased. Default primary swap size has also been increased for some
configurations. These changes are consistent with support for future update to HP-UX 11i v3.
Ignite-UX will now recover the Memory File System (MemFS) configuration. The content is not
recovered, but the file system configuration will be preserved.
In response to the request to improve Ignite-UX I/O inventory performance, Ignite-UX has
introduced the ability to block particular paths and protocols during inventory. See instl_adm
(4).
An example script has been added to simplify creation of recovery DVD media:
/opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples/make_opticaldisc_recovery. This script can be
used to create a recovery DVD if the archive will fit on a single media (image size must be less
than 4GB).
Installing Ignite-UX
Installing Ignite-UX Bundles Downloaded from the Net
# /usr/sbin/swinstall -s <full path of downloaded file> \*
Example: ignite11_all.tar downloaded to /var/tmp
# /usr/sbin/swinstall -s /var/tmp/ignite_all.tar \*
NOTE: NetInstall is an obsolete application and should not be found on any currently supported
installation of HP-UX. This note is “just in case”.
Ignite-UX is a replacement for the Net-Install product. If your server contains the Net-Install
bundle (HPUX-Install product), Ignite-UX will require that the NetInstall bundle be removed
(using swremove), or that you touch the file /tmp/okay_to_remove_net_install before
