Boot Remotely Using bootsys
If a client you need to reinstall is up and running HP-UX 11.X and is available on the network, then you
may use the bootsys command from the server to cause the client to boot Ignite-UX. Using the
bootsys command has the advantages of:
• Being able to be done remotely from the Ignite-UX server; that is, it doesn’t require access to the
client console.
• Allowing the booting of clients that are on different subnets (since it is not really performing a
true network boot).
• The
bootsys command may also be used to schedule installations to occur at a later time by
being called from at or cron.
• The
bootsys command has been enhanced to support the usage of ssh instead of remsh.
The
bootsys command has options to initiate an automated installation (-a), or an installation
controlled from the ignite user interface (-w). For examples using bootsys, see bootsys (1M).
Boot from Customer-Created Install Media
An install image used to boot a client may be created using
make_medialif. When transferred to phy-
sical media, it may be used to:
• Automatically load an archive image also stored on the media without intervention.
• Initiate an install from an Ignite-UX server. The install may be either automated or interactive.
This is a way for shipping user-customized install media to remote sites. See make_medialif(1M) for more
information.
Start the Installation from the Server
After the client is booted, its icon should appear on the
ignite interface. If the server set up is not
complete, or if the client could not obtain enough networking parameters via DHCP, the client may
require interaction on the client console.
