help in setting up Ignite server

[Torsten.]

Using dbprofile is quite easy.

The help will tell you.

Use "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi" as boot file.

See also chapter

9.6 Direct Boot Profiles for Itanium-Based Systems

in Ignite Admin Guide.




Syntax
dbprofile [-dn name [-dhcp] [-sip server_ip] [-cip client_ip]
[-gip gateway_ip] [-m subnet_mask] [-b "boot_file"]
[-od "optional_data"]] | [-h]
dbprofile [rm name] | [-h]
dbprofile [cp src_name dst_name] | [-h]

Ok,

The contents of testprofile using the dbprofile, should be :
Ignite-UX server IP address (-sip)
10.100.48.13

Ignite client IP address (-cip)
10.100.48.11
Gateway IP address (-gip)
10.100.48.254
Network mask (-m)
255.255.255.0

Boot file name (-b)
/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi

OR I SHOULD JUST RUN:

dbprofile -dn testprofile -sip 10.100.48.13 -cip \
10.100.48.11 -gip 10.100.48.254 -m 255.255.255.0 -b \

"/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"

And this command will call the recovery archive on the ignite server???

Is that so?

Create the dbprofile, then use it.


The ignite admin guide will really help you ...

Hi

I have another system on a different network with ignite installed:

swlist | grep -i ignite
B5725AA C.6.8.152 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)
Ignite-UX-11-23 C.6.8.152 HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.23 Systems
Ignite-UX C.6.7.79 HP-UX System Installation Services

Can I use this system to hold ignite backups of another server running ignite version :
IGNITE C.7.11.444 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)
Please advise

This version is sooo old, you should update it.

Ok,

I will update it.
But what if I use the 10.100.48.13 server to hold an image of a server 10.1.20.240, theresore on a different network?

What I mean is running make_net_recovery on a client (10.1.20.240), but to store the image on the 10.100.48.13 server?

Different subnets are not a problem.


It was a problem for the old RISC systems only.

Hi, Thanks

So no additional setup/configuration needed?

Just add another line on the /etc/exports file and exporting again, right?

Hi All

Thank you all for the contribution you made on this thread, I am going to assign points, but I would like to open this one or start a new one regarding restoring from the ignite server.

bye
