Preparing to Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v2
Cold-Install Tasks
Chapter 4 73
Task 4: Updating Your Ignite-UX Server
If you intend to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 on more than one system,
update your Ignite-UX server first.
NOTE The December 2005 HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environments DVD does
not contain the Ignite-UX product. You can install the latest version of
Ignite-UX from the HP-UX 11i v2 Applications Software DVD included
in the HP-UX 11i v2 media kit. If you plan on installing the Ignite-UX
product, make sure you create your /opt volume with enough space to
contain the Ignite-UX product.
When you cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 from the media, a subset of
Ignite-UX is used to perform the installation on a single system.
Updating your Ignite-UX server and using it to update other systems
ensures that:
• You keep consistent kernel configuration with specific drivers,
daemons, and kernel tunables on all systems.
• You have the following commands to create an operating system
recovery archive: make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery.
Refer to the make_net_recovery (1M) and make_tape_recovery (1M)
manpages for information.
You can also download the latest Ignite-UX software and documentation
from the Ignite-UX Web site:

Task 5: Locating Source Media and Codewords
Locate the source media needed for the cold-install. See “Locating Source
Media and Codewords” on page 80 for instructions.
