Couple basic Ignite commands to setup a new install depot:

1. make_depots: copies install CD/DVD/s to server

2. make_config: creates config file for new depot

3. manage_index: addes new config to master INDEX file

Those are the basic 3 command you need, I prefer the Ignite-UX Quick Start Guide, that discusses basic depot setup, here: http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5992-5230/index.html

Here is the steps for creating a os depot on ignite server

1) copy software to disk
# make_depots -s -d /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.31/v3_core_media

repeat the same command for all dvds

2) create config file
make_config -s /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.31/v3_core_media -c /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/v3_core_media_config

3)create INDEX file entry for the newly created depot
#manage_index -n "HP-UX B.11.31 Default" -c "Hp Unix v3 media"
#manage_index -a -f /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/v3_core_media_config -c "Hp Unix v3 media"

Rgds!

Are you talking about creating a golden image??

if so here is the steps

1) Install os on any server (this server should not be used during golden image creation time)
2) Update it with latest patches
3) Install your custom application and software like power path, control-sa,sudo
4) Customize the system and apply security controls specific to your environment
5) create a directory on the ignite server storing golden archive
mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/archives/Rel_B.11.31
6) use make_sys_image for creating golden archive
#cp â p /opt/ignite/data/scripts/make_sys_image /tmp/
#/tmp/make_sys_image -d /var/opt/ignite/archives/Rel_B.11.31 â s
7) Modify the ignite server to recognize the newly create golden archive
cp â p /opt/ignite/data/examples/core11.cfg /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/core_archive.cfg
8) and edit core_archive.cfg according to you server and archive
nfs_source = ":/var/opt/ignite/archives/Rel_B.11.31"
description = "Archive HP-UX 11.31"
archive_path = "hostname.gz"
9) Edit the INDEX file according for golden image

Thanks!
