OE Media Install Tool
and Network Depot
Must Match
The Ignite-UX install tool on the OE media supports the use
of network depots. However, network depots must match the
media depots for the choices in the install tool to work
properly.
The Ignite-UX documentation also explains the setup and use
of network depots without using the OE media for each
installation. Go to the following web site for information on
the Ignite-UX product:

Igniting an HP-UX 11i
v1.6 System with an
HP-UX 11i v2 Ignite-UX
Server
If you are trying to install HP-UX 11i v2 on an HP-UX 11i
v1.6 system from an HP-UX 11i v2 Ignite-UX server, you may
see the following error message if your HP-UX 11i v1.6
system is using VxVM:
ERROR: VxVM installs of 11.22 are not
supported with the 11.23 or later install kernel due to
VxVM 3.5 versus 3.1 incompatibilities.The VxVM disk group
“rootdg” must be changed to LVM or whole-disk or be
removed
You will receive this message when your current system is
running HP-UX 11i v1.6 and VxVM, and you attempt to
install HP-UX 11i v2 from an Ignite-UX server.
Because of incompatibilities between VxVM 3.1 (on HP-UX
11i v1.6) and VxVM 3.5 (on HP-UX 11i v2), you cannot install
HP-UX 11i v2 on an HP-UX 11i v1.6 system running VxVM
3.1 from an Ignite-UX server. Instead, you can do one of the
following:
• Change your volume manager to LVM or Whole Disk, and
retry installing HP-UX 11i v2 from the Ignite-UX server.
• Install HP-UX 11i v2 from the DVD media.
