Ignite image

[Simon Wickham_6]

Hi ,

I have installed Ignite -UX and gone through the server configuration which I do not have DHCP configured but have the boot ip addresses and have created a depot from CD as prompted.

Then once this has been completed I have created a network archive of a client I wish to use for cloning onto multiple boxes. When I look at my current INDEX file I see the following.

# /var/opt/ignite/INDEX
# This file is used to define the Ignite-UX configurations
# and to define which config files are associated with each
# configuration. See the ignite(5), instl_adm(4), and
# manage_index(1M) man pages for details.
#
# NOTE: The manage_index command is used to maintain this file.
# Comments, logic expressions and formatting changes are not
# preserved by manage_index.
#
# WARNING: User comments (lines beginning with '#' ), and any user
# formatting in the body of this file are _not_ preserved
# when the version of Ignite-UX is updated.

cfg "HP-UX B.11.11 Default" {
description "This selection supplies the default system configuration that HP supplies for the B.11.11 release."
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/config"
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/hw_patches_cfg"
"/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/core_cfg"
"/var/opt/ignite/config.local"
}


And under clients I see the following :

azur:root# cd ./clients/
azur:root# ll

drwxr-xr-x 3 bin bin 2048 Feb 21 16:52 0x00306E0C2AFD

drwxr-xr-x 3 bin bin 2048 Feb 21 16:41 recovery
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 107 Feb 22 12:09 server.state

If I run the command /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm -T all appears ok :

azur:root# /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm -T
* Checking file: /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/config
* Checking file: /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/hw_patches_cfg
* Checking file: /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/core_cfg
* Checking file: /var/opt/ignite/config.local


When adding the following from the CINDEX file to the INDEX file it fails :

cfg "2006-02-21,16:41 Recovery Archive" {
description "Recovery Archive"
"recovery/2006-02-21,16:41/system_cfg"
"recovery/2006-02-21,16:41/control_cfg"
"recovery/2006-02-21,16:41/archive_cfg"
}=TRUE


which now looks as followed :

cfg "HP-UX B.11.11 Default" {
description "This selection supplies the default system configuration that HP supplies for the B.11.11 release."
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/config"
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/hw_patches_cfg"
"/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/core_cfg"
"/var/opt/ignite/config.local"
}

cfg "2006-02-21,16:41 Recovery Archive" {
description "Recovery Archive"
"recovery/2006-02-21,16:41/system_cfg"
"recovery/2006-02-21,16:41/control_cfg"
"recovery/2006-02-21,16:41/archive_cfg"
}=TRUE

The error now is as followed :

Can any one tell me how I get this image to be seen by any install when igniting to the server.

Hi

The docs at
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/infolib.html#d0e352

and the faq especially should help
