Ignite Error for HP-UX 11.11

[Saumil Shah]

Hi,

After creating a base image for HP-UX 11.11 with basic patch bundle -March 2002, I'm facing an error msg while igniting the server.

Error Msg:
----------
Msg from /opt/ignite/bin/itool ()
Warning: Software selection: "golden image -64 bit OS" can not be selected because it has an exrequisite on the selected software item: "golden image - 64 bit OS".

I'm feeling that I'm doing some mistake in server config file. Can you pl, guide me, what's wrong here?

Thanks,

-Saumil

Hello Saumil,

The March 2002 Ignite software had a problem with the filesets 11.0 and 11.11) being reversed.

HP-UX 11.0 March 2002 Ignite-UX product release contains reversed filesets.

This bulletin applies to HP customers who, according to our records, have received the following HP-UX 11.0 CDs:

?? Application Release ??? March 2002 [CD part # 5012-0039 - 1ST of 6 CDs]
?? Special Application Software Ignite-UX ??? February 2002 [CD part # 5012-2896, Japan only release]

And who have received the following HP-UX 11.0 Ignite-UX product on the above CDs:

?? Ignite-UX ??? version B.3.6.82 ??? March 2002 [product # B5725AA]

Hewlett-Packard has identified an issue with the HP-UX 11.0 March 2002 Ignite-UX product. The March 2002 Ignite-UX product (version B.3.6.82) contains incorrect Ignite-UX-11-00 and Ignite-UX-11-11 associated bundles. The HP-UX 11.0 associated bundle contains the FILE-SRV-11-11 fileset that is for HP-UX 11i and the HP-UX 11i associated bundle contains the FILE-SRV-11-00 fileset that is for HP-UX 11.0.

HP customers who are updating to Ignite-UX version B.3.6.82 from an older version will see a warning message in /var/adm/sw/swagent.log indicating a fileset version mismatch. HP customers who are installing Ignite-UX version B.3.6.82 for the first time will see no warning or error but will experience unreliable Ignite-UX behavior. In either case, the workaround noted below must be performed to minimize similar usage issues with future Ignite-UX versions.

NOTE: The principle Ignite-UX bundle, B5725AA, the HP-UX 10.20 and HP-UX 11i associated bundles, and the Ignite-UX B.3.6.82 website download version are not affected by this issue.




So if you installed Ignite (version B.3.6.82) from the March 2002 CDs you need to download the Ignite product from the web site, remove the installed version with swremove, and then install the updated files:

Normally the error message you are seeing refers to a code problem which is possible with the fileset problem.


Thanks for participating in the forums,
