Ignite server ITANIUM+PARISC

[haux]

Hi,

I am trying to add an ITANIUM based HPUX 11.23 rx4640, as client to the ignite server.

Th ignite server is installed on rp4410 PARISC HPUX11.11

You can see the error in the attached snapshot.

If someone get any idea suggestion, it will be greate.

here is the content of "/opt/ignite/boot/" :

root@IGNITE-SERVER:/ >#ll /opt/ignite/boot/
total 704
dr-xr-xr-x 00:43 Rel_B.11.11

Make sure your ignite version is not too old.
Consider to update.

Thanks,

I have installed the latest version of ignite for HPUX 11.11

on the rp4410 PARISC

IGNITE C.7.2.94 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)

tried to add the Itanium client , I get exactely the same error

i'd say you need 11.23 as an ignite server (remember - there's no itanium port of 11.11)

[Geoff Wild]

Even though it is possible to have an OS lower then clients for an ignite server - I don't think 11.11 will do 11.31.

First thing we did here was to move our ignite servers to 11.31.

First, the replies stating that 11.23 or 11.31 IA cannot be installed by an 11.11 server are incorrect. Ignite-UX running on any supported version of HP-UX (11.11, 11.23, or 11.31) can install 11.11 on PA, and 11.23 and 11.31 on PA and IA, assuming the client hardware supports the desired release.

As for the actual problem, It appears that you have not installed the 11.23-specific IGNITE product bundle, but only the 11.11 one. This is indicated by the "ll" command output above showing only the Rel_B.11.11 directory listed under /opt/ignite/boot. You need Rel_B.11.23.

The naming of the IGNITE bundles can be a bit confusing. The names of the bundles indicate which OS releases you wish to manage, not the version of HP-UX running on your Ignite server. If you have the available disk space, just install the IGNITE bundle and you will get the installation tools for all supported releases.

To clarify, an 11.11 server with the IGNITE bundle installed can install 11.11, 11.23, and 11.31. That same server with the Ignite-UX-11-31 bundle installed instead of IGNITE will ONLY be capable of installing 11.31, not 11.11 or 11.23! This is summarized in Figure 2.1 of the Ignite-UX Administration Guide.

what is missing on the Ignite Server is the Rel_B.11.23 fileset.

If you install Ignite Server you have to assure you have placed all HP-UX releases filesets if you plan to install clients with different HPUX versions.

In order to be able to communicate with HPUX 11.23 clients, Ignite Server has to have Rel_B.11.23 toolset installed.

When downloading Ignite from software.hp.com you can choose the bundles for the HP-UX version to download.

The above output means I can use my ignite server to install 11.00, 11.11, 11.23, 11.31 HPUX clients

Shalom,

Based on your original question, you need the install utilities for 11.23 on your 11.11 box.

Once installed, you should be able to perform all normal Ignite operations on the 11.23 boxes.

I really like the last two posts to confirm the software is present. Follow them carefully.

This doc may be of some utility to you as well.
