Announce: Ignite-UX whitepaper on USB memory stick boot

Scot Bean — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:41:21 GMT

If you are already following the HP_UX_Docs Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/HP_UX_Docs), you know this already.

But for the untweeted, there is a new Ignite-UX whitepaper on booting from a USB memory stick: http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5992-5037/5992-5037.pdf

Enjoy

"...
At this time Ignite-UX does not support memory stick as a source type for install or recovery. Thus,
you cannot create a memory stick image that supports install or recovery by itself. "

OK, a nice first step.

Hope to see more soon.

Shalom Scott,

Thanks for the link.

If You can't boot Ignite with a USB stick, why is the paper named as it is.

Re-reading.

Processing.

It will assist with initial boot, but not a full install.

Sometimes it is handy to boot up, then redirect the install to a Fibre tape or remote server, etc.
