Install hpuxv2 from ignite by network

[haux]

Hi,

I want to install hpuxv2 on 9000/800/A500-5X model, which contain hpxv1, I copied the two DVD of hpuxv2 like this :


make_depots -d /ignite/depots/hpux2/ -s /cdrom -r B.10.20

But when i boot the server from the ignite server, and choosing the new install option it stop by showing the message : there is no such environement.

Any help to let the ignite server be aware of the HPUXv2 depots ?

Thanks

You may not have your Ignite server set up correctly. See this,

>>>> make_depots -d /ignite/depots/hpux2/ -s /cdrom -r B.10.20

1)unmount cdrom and give its device file
2) -r revision should be 11.23



Here is the steps for creating a depot for in ignite


1) copy software to disk
# make_depots -s -d /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/v2_core_media

repeat the same command for all dvds

2) create config file
make_config -s /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/v2_core_media -c /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/v2_core_media_config

3)create INDEX file entry for the newly created depot
#manage_index -n "HP-UX B.11.23 Default" -c "Hp Unix v2 media"
#manage_index -a -f /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/v2_core_media_config -c "Hp Unix v2 media"

Rgds!

Hi,

It WORKS !!!

Thank you for all, specially Mr.johnsonpk

Your posts were very helpful, I installed HPUXv2 on A500/44, with ignite over LAN.

I will try it for HPUXv3 also.

Thanks for all
