Making HP-UX bootable CD

Lethuillier — Mon, 12 Jan 2004 16:42:54 GMT

Hi Guys,

I would like to know how to make bootable HP-UX CD-Rom to automate remote upgrades from scratch of a wide number of Workstations.

Has anyone tried some like this?

Any clue would be appreciated,
Thierry

It is pretty straightforward imho...

Make an ignite image to a file then cp it to a windows machine... unless you have CD burner-capable UNIX workstation or Linux Distro box with a burner.

Hi,

I wonder, whether this isn't just, what you need:

oops!! You said bootable...

I guess you are wanting to use a system you have setup with all patches and products loaded?

Seems to me you can make an Ignite Install Server... and push out a Golden Image you made...

I still like Ignite make_net_recovery... if they are reachable over the network...
