Ignite UX and creating a bootable install CD ...

[David Domaguin_1]

I'm not too familiar with Ignite UX and it's capabilities and I was asked to research it to make a bootable installation CD. Is there an easy way to do this?

David:

Here's several things to get you started:

1. For Ignite software and complete documentation see:

http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/index.html

Choose "A" version of Ignite-UX to install and manage HP-UX 10.x on clients.

Chose the "B" version of Ignite-UX to insall and manage both HP-UX 10.x and 11.0 clients.

2. To make a recovery tape for a server (i.e. to be able to restore its operating system with the patch levels present before a total failure) use the "make_recovery" option to make a bootable Ignite tape:

# make_recovery -ACvd /dev/rmt/0mn

3. For verifying a make_recovery tape, see this thread:
