Ignite Server Detection

Suraj Singh_1 — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:01:30 GMT

Hi All,

I need to automatically determine (though shell script) whether a given HP-UX system is a functional Ignite Server.

Is there any foolproof way to do that?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Suraj,

For network ignites this services should be enabled in /etc/inetd.conf:

tftp
instl_boots

regards,

Hi,

I guess as soon as we install Ignite-UX depot, an entry for these services is made into inetd.conf file.

What if the ignite server is not configured properly?

I need to find some foolproof way to determine if a given box is an ignite server or not.

And if yes, then what all images does it carry.

Thanks.

I do not think there is a fool proof way.

On any server the entire ignite package could be installed. Whether is is configured and a working ignite server one only knows. You may just have to find your own method.

Does server have Ignite software ?
swlist IGNITE

Is there an active archive directory ?
ll /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives

Is /var/opt/ignite/clients being exported ?
exportfs (or on 11.312 share)

Is the server really workinging?
do not have a clue... Maybe once you get it working you could create a file containing "THIS IS AN IGNITE SERVER"
