Ignite-UX: Problem with Add New Client for Recovery.....

Hi

From the Actions Menu in Ignite-UX I am trying to "Add New Client for Network Recovery..".

However I get an error message saying
There is currently no depot software on host at location:
/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds

I have also run manually run the pkg_rec_depot script and this fails as expected with the error:
The expected depot or root does not exist at
/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds.

Further Info:
No other clients have been setup on the Ignite server.
The above directory is empty on my Ignite server.
I removed an old version of Ignite on the client system.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Cheers
Con

Re: Ignite-UX: Problem with Add New Client for Recovery.....

I do not remember your prior thread.

I'm assuming a recent version of Ignite like 4.1.61.

If there is no depot at the proposed location, you must do one of the followings things:

1) change the INDEX file /var/opt/ignite/.. or /opt/ignite/...
to indicate where the depot actually is.

2) Create the Base OS software depot from the core OS CD with the swcopy command.

The actual syntax is in the manual, which I'm including.

http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/5185-6511/5185-6511_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/5185-6511/00/00/10-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/5185-6511/00/00/10-toc.html&searchterms=Configuration%7cIgnite&queryid=20030617-214235

I have a huge step by step book on this from Ignite class(highly recommended) at work from which I can get you the actual command syntax.

Last question: 11.00 or 11.11 ???

Steven

Thanks for the reply. I didn't acutally post a previous thread (at least none that I remember!).
When I previously used Ignite-UX I thought it was a simple case of installing the SW and then without any other configuration I could easily Add Client for Network Recovery. Hence I'm a bit confused why I'm getting the error messages. I did look at the INDEX file but there is nothing in there about a depot.

I didn't install this version of Ignite (B.3.4.115 on HP-UX 11.00) so don't know if someone has changed something.
Do you know if the /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds is empty when ignite is first installed.

What I'll probably do is just re-install Ignite with a new version as its not being used at the moment. Hopefully that will fix my problem but I was curious as to why I got this error message.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Ignite-UX: Problem with Add New Client for Recovery.....

Con,

there is 2 ways you can install the recovery commands.

step 1, on you ignite server, check if the recovery_cmds has been registered.

#swlist -l depot

you should see your recovery_cmds in the list of registered packages.

if not then register it.

#swreg -l depot /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds

then check again if its listed, with the swlist -l depot command.


Now you are ready to either push or pull the client recovery commands. I hate GUI's so therefore always recommend using commandlines.

from the ignite server, push the install

#swinstall -s /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds @

form the client side, pull the install

swinstall -s @ :/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds
