Ignite-UX

Hello everybody
I'm new to the HP world and would like to know how to install Ignite-UX.

I've tried
>> swinstall -s /cdrom Ignite-UX-11-00<< which gives the following errors:
++ could not access file "codewords_file" in the software item "". Access to the remote source has been lost
++ "A file I/O error has occured on this system. Make sure that you have enough
disk space in this directory used for temporary disk files. This directory is
usually /usr/tmp or /tmp." (increasing both of these file systems did not kick off that error)

I've also tried the swinstall GUI, but the error "A file I/O error has occured on this system. Make sure that you have enough
disk space in this directory used for temporary disk files. This directory is
usually /usr/tmp or /tmp." still comes up.

Thanks and cheers

This seems like such a simple thing...I must be missing something.

Have you tried the easiest way I know ..

Put the CD in the CDROM
At prompt type: swinstall
Generally it looks automatically looks to see if there's a CD loaded and goes to that and starts.
Ignite_UX is nothing you need a codeword for so you should be able to highlight and mark then install. Does not cause a reboot.

/usr/tmp.... is a symbolic link back to /var/tmp. I've never seen an error regarding this, but there's always a first time. If possibly it is complaining there is not enough room on /tmp than you could either go and clean off unneeded old files..or extend /tmp. You can extend on the 'fly' if you have Online AdvanceJFS on your system already; or by rebooting into single user and extending that file system. BUT first, I'd just try to do the swinstall the easy way.

Hope this helps...

Try this:
# touch /var/adm/sw/.codewords

Retry the swinstall.

Hello "DT",
it seems you try to install Ignite/UX from the application
CDs - that I would NOT recommend: you will install an
OLD version that way, and currently we have two newer releases! Try to get the current release from the HP
patch server (or software.hp.com/products/IUX), and
install that one. It is free, hence you will not need any
codewords.
HTH,
Wodisch

Hi,

If you want to install the latest version of Ignite, here is the link on the HP server:
http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/download.html

Select the one you want (HP-UX 10.x/11.x).
It's a free product so you don't need any codeword.

Best regards,

Dan
