Ignite questions

[Dary]

Hi All,

I have an Ignite server running hp-ux 11.11 with IUX C.6.7.79

1) Can I use this Ignite server to install 11.v3? How?
2) Do I need to upgrade to the latest IUX first?
3) Also I am getting the following Error msg when I try to push/install.
-- remsh not working,
-- Unable to mount ...
-- Failed to create NFS mount archive directory.

4) Is there any Ignite cookbook, you can share with me?

Hi Dary

To install 11iv3 you must first have an archive that is 11iv3 to install from. The version of ignite is not OS version dependant.
To get remsh working - you need a .rhosts in the home directory of the user on the remote server. This file needs the hostname of the server you are connecting from in it.

For the mounts, there are several filesystems that need to be exported. Enter them into the /etc/exports file and then export them.

Hopefully this helps - if you need more specifics let me know and I can look them up

Cheers John

Hi Dary,

--> remsh not working

You need to add hosts in .rhosts file & check /etc/hosts file.

John,

How can I setup an archive for 11vi3?
In case of a new server, there is no .rhost file since the client disk are blank (fresh install)? how do I do this?

Thanks a bunch
Dary

11.31 support starts with C.7.x, so your current Ignite version will not do 11.31.

Shalom,

1) Yes there is a component you may need to install which would be a newer version of Ignite. Better to upgrade the whole install, but still possible to do without a full upgrade.
2) You should. Preserve custom configuration, swremove swinstall anew
3)check inetd.conf configuration and whats running. Check NFS services.
4)

Lots of books,not just one.

Searching yourself at docs.hp.com might be more helpful that the above.

To set up an archive you will need a running 11.31 server or the install media.
If you have an archive on the remote server you need to do a lan boot to start the install process.
bo lan.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx install, where xxx is the ip of the ignite archive.

I have done this a while ago but the exact details are a bit scratchy now due to time.

Cheers John
