I have an application which comes packaged as tar file. Is it possible for me to use ignite-ux to install this on multiple servers without reinstalling HP-UX on those servers?
Or, in other words, can I have a configuration (in the INDEX file) for installing my application which omits the disk layout config file.
Thanks,
Prakash
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Installing applications using ignite
A few questions for clarification:
1) What is the application that you are trying to install.
2) Why is it necessary to re-install HPUX with the installation of the product, or is it?
3) What model/version O/S are you running?

Re: Installing applications using ignite
Ignite ux is used to install any application alongwith the OS only. You cannot install an application seperately without reinstalling the OS using Ignite.
Take a look at the Ignite UX administration guide,
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90704/B2355-90704.html
Hope this helps.

Re: Installing applications using ignite
Ignite make_recovery is used for installing/cloning systems , not applications.
So, i don't think you can selectively copy a set of files alone.
But, why would you want to do it?? If it is a tar file and you want to save yourself the installation chores on every box, can't you just tar(or swpackage) the install directories into a tape or file and copy it across?

Re: Installing applications using ignite
I suppose you could do that but...
Ignite is for rebuilding your server. The first "tape file" written is a boot image. The second is a tar of what's in vg00 (or whatever you specify). So, unless you are going to clone the servers I wouldn't use Ignite. Since you say "without reinstalling HP-UX on those servers" I presume you just want to install the application.
If you want to selectively include the files needed for the application (I presume there are config / parameter files not included in the installation tar file), why not just make a new tar file? Seems much easier.

Re: Installing applications using ignite
My question is very simple.
I want to fire an ignite installation of an application (in tar or SD format) from my ignite-ux sever without reinstalling the OS on that client machine.
Basically, I want to use ignite-ux for doing distributed installation on a large number of m/c's from the ignite-ux server.
Frank, my m/c config is B.11.00 A 9000/871
Thanks

SolutionIt allows you to install software on remote machines using SD. I believe this product supercedes OV/SD which used to provide this functionality?
The sd(5) man page also contains some information, under "Remote Operation".

Re: Installing applications using ignite
Hope it's not too late !
Why you don't use the unix command "rdist" for distribution, it's really powerfull and regouruos.
