Ignite C.7.16.283 Install Issue - Different Filesets Errors Post Install

[PHSC]

Greetins all.  We were updating a Integrity server running HPUX11.31.  Moving from Ignite C.7.7.93 and installing to C.7.16.283.

Downloaded a later version of Ignite from HP:

-rw-------   1 root       sys        341637120 May 23 13:37 HP-UX_11i_v3_Ignite-UX-11.31_C.7.16.283_HP-UX_B.11.00_32_64.depot

After the initial swinstall, the bundle had two bits of software:

IGNITE           ->   C.7.16.283      HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)                      453020   HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64

Ignite-UX-11-31  ->   C.7.16.283      HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.31 Systems     453020   HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64

Ran the install for the "Ignite-UX-11-31", and it produced the below fileset errors that occur when you try and run a UNIX backup:

# time make_tape_recovery -A

I assume...that either more Ignite SW is required...or perhaps Ignite needs removing first?  Is there a preferred way to remove all of Ignite...assuming that a second attempt at reinstalling would work.

Thanks

I have always removed the old Ignite software before installing a new version due to the errors you are seeing.

Thanks for that Patrick.

Checked what Ignite SW was on the server:

swlist | grep -i ignite
  IGNITE                                   C.7.16.283     HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)
  Ignite-UX-11-31               C.7.16.283     HP-UX Installation Utilities forInstalling 11.31 Systems
  Ignite-UX                              C.7.7.93       HP-UX System Installation Services

Removed the old version:

On a related note, if you have a central Ignite U/X server and wish to keep the version you currently have consistent across the clients or are running the make_net_recovery command you can use the -u option to update the Ignite S/W on the client.  From the man page:

           -u   Updates the Ignite-UX software from the Ignite server
                specified by the -s option.  This is done only when the
                version of software on the server is newer than the client.
                The software update uses the depot on the server in the
                location: /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds.  If this
                depot does not exist, you may use the
                /opt/ignite/lbin/pkg_rec_depot command to create it.  When
                the -u option causes the software to be updated, it then
                automatically restarts the command with the same options.
