Messages
After you cold-install the HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 or
later release, you may see the following messages in the
swagent.log file:
lvlnboot: /etc/lvmtab: No such file or directory
lvlnboot: "/etc/lvmtab" could not be read into
memory.
You can safely ignore these messages.
HPUX-HIDS Causes
Automatic Reboot
Due to restructuring of the HIDS product bundle in this
release (September 2004), installation or update from any
prior release of HPUX-HIDS will cause an automatic reboot of
the system. The restructuring of the product was
implemented to address a behavior that existed in past
product releases of an orphaned file set remaining on the
system following an update. Updates in future releases of the
product will not require a system reboot.
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:
