NAME
ignite - Interactive HP-UX configuration, installation, and recovery manager
SYNOPSIS
/opt/ignite/bin/ignite
[ui][
-recovery][-install][-S]
[XToolkit-Options][client1,
client2,client3,...
]
DESCRIPTION
The default mode of operation of the
ignite
command is to start the interactive user interface. If
display is specified using the DISPLAY environment variable or the -display option, an interactive X-
Windows graphical user interface (GUI) will be started. If the display is not specified an interactive ter-
minal user interface (TUI) will be started. When the TUI starts, a brief introduction to the interface is
presented. The GUI has some features not present in the TUI such as the ability to perform server ini-
tiated creation of a network recovery archive. Both interfaces provide the ability to control client install
initiated from the Ignite-UX server.
The
ignite command GUI and TUI provide the ability to build software configurations and use these
configurations to install HP-UX clients. In addition, note that network install, recovery, and other opera-
tions may also be controlled from the client system’s console. The
ignite GUI provides the ability to
create network recovery archives. Either the GUI or TUI may be used to perform system recovery.
When the user interface starts, "Tutorial and Demo..." and "Server Setup..." choices will be displayed.
The Actions menu includes a "Run Tutorial/Server Setup..." to allow the user to perform these operations
later. These entries aid initial server setup and introduce key features of the product.
Options
The
ignite command recognizes the following options:
ui Explicitly specifies that the "user interface" major mode of the ignite command is to
be run. This parameter is optional and is the default if no other major mode is used
(see ignite (1M) for the other modes).
-recovery This option causes the user interface to initiate the "Create Network Recovery
Archive" action with the first client in the option list. Once the action has com-
pleted, the user is returned to the user interface so that management of other
clients may be done in the same session.
-install This option causes the user interface to initiate the "Install Client/New Install..."
action with the first client in the option list. Once the action has completed, the
user is returned to the user interface so that management of other clients may be
done in the same session.
-S Directs ignite to use ssh based protocols instead of remsh based protocols
when communicating with remote systems which are already running HP-UX for
the purpose of initiating creation of recovery archives or, initiating client reboot to
start install or recovery.
XToolkit Options
The ignite command supports a subset of the standard X Toolkit options to con-
trol the appearance of the GUI. The supported options are: -bg, -background,
-fg, -foreground, -display, -name, -xrm, and -synchronous. See the
X(1) manual page for a definition of these options.
client1,client2,client3,...
A list of one or more clients which will be used to limit the set of clients displayed
by the user interface. If a client is specified and its corresponding client
configuration directory (in
/var/opt/ignite/clients) does not exist, a note
for each client that is missing is displayed as the user interface is started. Clients
may be named using a mixture of hostnames and MAC addresses. If no clients are
specified the user interface will include all client systems known to the Ignite-UX
server.
