Re: Why did Ignite install 32-bit on my C240?
I am assuming that the ignite install was in batch mode. To go into interative mode, there is a moment at the beginning of the install in which you are allowed to cancel out of batch mode by hitting return. Do this and you will go to and HP-UX install menu. Go into the advanced installation and on the first tab should be the choice of 32 or 64 bit.
Hope this helps

Re: Why did Ignite install 32-bit on my C240?
If it is a make_tape|net_recovery image then your only choice is the version that is on the tape / image. If you make a tape from a 32-bit system and then re-install, you will get 32-bit again. In this case there is no choice for a 64-bit system because as far as I know the appropriate 64-bit programs will not be on the tape.
When you install HP-UX, it is not a matter of just flipping a switch, or config file, to switch between 32- and 64-bit HP-UX. There are different versions of programs that get installed depending on which version is selected. To switch a current 32-bit system to 64-bit you have to upgrade to 64-bit or do a fresh install from CD media to get 64-bit.
So, to answer your question, if you want 64-bit to install by default, you will need a tape, or image, that was created from a 64-bit system.

Re: Why did Ignite install 32-bit on my C240?
I am running v. 3.6 ignite/UX (disclaimer)
The determination for whether ignite installs 32 or 64 bit is the hardware. There is a file, /var/opt/ignite/local/host.info that has this information for me. Here's mine from an N-class:
dmc14:/var/opt/ignite/local# more host.info
MEMORY=8388608K
HARDWARE_MODEL="9000/800"
MODEL="9000/800/N4000-55"
can_run_32bit=FALSE
can_run_64bit=TRUE
is_numa=FALSE
is_ia64=FALSE
is_hppa=TRUE
_hp_boot_dev_path="0/0/1/0.0.0"
_hp_boot_dev_path visible_if FALSE
SOURCE_TYPE="MT"
SOURCE_PATH="/dev/rmt/0m"
_hp_primary_path="0/0/2/0.6.0"
_hp_primary_path visible_if false
system_name="dmc14"
_hp_current_client_release="B.11.00"
_hp_current_client_release visible_if FALSE
Also check out man make_medialif ( the -o option)
Hope this helps

Re: Why did Ignite install 32-bit on my C240?
This file is probably more helpful to you, as it is on a K460 (32/64 bit):
scsapp1:/var/opt/ignite/local# more host.info
MEMORY=2097136K
HARDWARE_MODEL="9000/889"
MODEL="9000/889/K460"
can_run_32bit=TRUE
can_run_64bit=TRUE
is_numa=FALSE
is_ia64=FALSE
is_hppa=TRUE
_hp_boot_dev_path="10/12/5.0.0"
_hp_boot_dev_path visible_if FALSE
SOURCE_TYPE="MT"
SOURCE_PATH="/dev/rmt/0m"
_hp_primary_path="10/0.6.0"
_hp_primary_path visible_if false
system_name="scsapp1"
_hp_current_client_release="B.11.00"
_hp_current_client_release visible_if FALSE
Note the can_run entries versus that of the N-class above.
You need to go interactive, because since both versions can run, it will default to 32.
Hope this more helpful
Chris

Re: Why did Ignite install 32-bit on my C240?
you can change the default
behavior.
default:
init sw_sel "OE90BaseOS64" {
description = "HP-UX 11i Base OS-64bit"
sw_source = "core"
sw_category = "HPUXEnvironments"
corequisite = "HPUXBase64"
visible_if = can_run_64bit
} = (can_run_64bit)
init sw_sel "OE91BaseOS32" {
description = "HP-UX 11i Base OS-32bit"
sw_source = "core"
sw_category = "HPUXEnvironments"
corequisite = "HPUXBase32"
visible_if = can_run_32bit
} = (! can_run_64bit) | (can_run_32bit) & !(sw_sel "OE90BaseOS64")
Change the second stanza to end like:
} = (! can_run_64bit)& !(sw_sel "OE90BaseOS64")
So you only select the 32bit choice if you can't run 64bit and you haven't selected 64bit by some other mechanism (error)

Re: Why did Ignite install 32-bit on my C240?
I am installing from depots, so I'm not using an image of any kind. Thus, Ignite is free to select for itself which "bitness" to install.
I guess what's happening is that if there's an option for 32 or 64, Ignite is defaulting to 32. I suppose I can insert clauses in the config file that set bitness to what I want depending on hardware model, if I don't like Ignite's default choice.
