how to

[hpuxhelp]

I'd like to know what is the easiest way to remove the wrong version of ignite tape on Hp/ux and reinstall it with the correct one?

Hi Steven,

I assume you meant Ignite/UX software that includes make_tape_recovery.

DO

swlist |grep -i ignite and note down the product name (Ignite-UX-11-00?)

swremove Ignite-UX-11-00

Should take care of it.

You can remove the software with 'swremove' and then download the latest and install it with 'swinstall' command.

If I understand your question, you have Ignited your system with an incorrect OS version (or the wrong set of installed software and patches). The next Ignite will simply overwrite everything in /dev/vg00 so there is nothing to remove.

Hi:

# swremove -l bundle
...or...
# swremove -l product

...having done:

# swlist -l product|product|grep -i ignite

For example:

# swlist -l
B5725AA_APZ A.3.7.95 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX - S800 - 10.20)

# swremove B5725AA_APZ

Regards!
