Ignite-UX

Ignite-UX addresses your need to perform system installations and deployment, often on

a large scale. With Ignite-UX, you can:

• Create and reuse standard system configurations.

• Archive a standard system configuration and use that archive to replicate systems.

• Create customized processes to allow interactive and unattended installs.

• More-easily recover OS and applications after crashes and hardware failures.

• Support for HP-UX 11i v2 Itanium-based installations.

• Support for the new HP-UX Service Partition (HPSP) created at the end of the boot

disk used by Online and Offline Diagnostics to hold tools and system data.

• Enhanced support for dual media (tape and CD/DVD) recovery.

• Enhancements to the mod_kernel keyword of the instl_adm (4) command to support

new /stand/system syntax used in this release.

Impact

Ignite-UX can be used to install and recover HP-UX 11i v2 on Ignite-UX servers and
