Installing HPUX on Client from Ignite

shashi kanth — Sun, 24 May 2009 13:31:48 GMT

I created a direct boot profile on one of my RX box, issued the "lanboot" command with that profile, INSTALL* files downloaded, and hardware is initialized, but the Ignite welcome screen didn't appearing on the console/display properly.

It is like bellow.

0!9Welcome to Ignite-UX!#"Use the key to navigate between fields, and the arrow keys$"within fields. Use the key to select an item.%"Use the or to pop-up a choices list.

is this first time you are installing os through ignite for this type of hardware?

you may compile your ignite image at server through below docs,

Yes I am doing on first time, but what i am missing here ?

I have followed the Ignite Quick start guide.

Do i have to modify something with "locale" ?

With respect to my problem, my client is getting image from the Ignite server, but HP-UX installation welcome screen is not showing properly.

Shalom,

You should be able to via putty or a Linux workstation, log into the systems ILO/GSP card and start a network installation.

You have met the basic requirements, because the Ignite Interface has come up.

It appears to me you need only choose a primary network interface, software options and proceed.

On the client, I have logged through iLO over the network, gone to EFI shell, created a direct boot profile, issued the lanboot command with that profile, choosen the network interface card, choosen the HP-UX os to instll, INSTALL* files copied and memory initialized, then the Ignite welcome screen appeared.

This Ignite/HP-UX installation welcome screen is appearing not in a proper way.
