Ignite boot helper CD

[Admin-Team]

Hi,

i've got a little problem.
A stand-alone server with no direct connection to any other HPUX servers.

Is it possible to create a Boot-Helper CD ?
( Burning the kernel of Ignite on CD )

I hope somebody could help me & excuse my terrible English ;-)))

I think you can use the OS CD to boot and then choose something like "install from network". However, write down the IP's of target, gateway and your Ignite server.

If all you want is a CD to boot the system to the stage where you can specify network info and information about the Ignite server... all you have to do is:
1. run the following command:
make_medialif -m -l ./my_lif

2. burn directly onto CD

good luck!

btw... if you have a tape drive and can't be bothered burning a CD, use make_boot_tape.

Cheers
