Adding bundles to Ignite-UX

[David Burgess]

I'm trying to add the ignite bundle to the depot and not having much luck. I need to copy it from the CD. This is what I've done so far :-


# swlist -l product B5725AA -s /SD_CDROM/ | more
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "igux1"...
ERROR: Software "-s" was not found on host "igux1:/".
ERROR: Software "/SD_CDROM/" was not found on host "igux1:/".

# make_depots -v -p -r B.11.00 -s /SD_CDROM B5725AA

It appears I can copy everything, but not individual bundles.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Dave.

If you just want to copy the Ignite bundle, use swcopy to copy the bundle to a temporary depot and then use make_depots with the temporary depot as the source.

Thanks Bill.

I've been reading about Golden Images which is kind of what I'm trying to do here.

Can I install everything I want on a D370 and then use this image on other servers or does a Golden Image only work across servers of the same type? Ie one for D class another for L or N class.

Regards,

Dave.

Ideally a Golden image from a D gets used on another D.

But that just makes things easier, esecially with interactive install, you can cross machines lines easily. You can even cross bit lines because part of the process of setting up a Golden image server is swcopying the OS onto that server.

The initial use of swlist command in this thread uses the syntax of swinstall btw.

Here are a few cookbooks on the golden image process.

I've done this, its fun, sometimes frustrating.

I've got the depot built now. Thanks for your help on that.

How can I be sure that the patches are put on last? ie so that everything is installed and then patched?

Regards,

Dave.

Is it as simple as adding

init sw_sel "QPK1100"=TRUE

to be the last "init sw_sel" statement in the client config file?

Regards,

Dave.

[David Burgess]

I've just added another disk to my client, but when I run Ignite on the server and go to add the disk to VG00 it isn't showing.

I've rebooted the client, exited ignite on the server and run swagentd -r just incase. I still can't see the new disk. Any ideas?

Thanks again!

Dave.
