Ignite-UX installation server versions

[Kathryn Rudolph]

Hi,

Our site has a combination of HP 11.00 and 11.11 servers. Currently we are using make_recovery to backup ver 11.00 (we will go to make_tape_recovery when the issues are ironed out) and will be using make_tape_recovery to backup the 11.11 servers.

The 11.11 servers do not have tape drives encouraging our move to an ignite ux server.

Questions arising from this are:

What version OS would the ignite server need to be and are there compatability issues between make_recovery and make_tape_recovery?

I would appreciate any help that can be offered and look forward to awarding points.

Many thanks,


Kathy

Hi Kathy,

You will find that each supported version of the operating system has the same features in the ignite product. There does not seem to be any differences between versions.

You can the latest versions from here:

The on-line document can be found here:

I hope I've understood your question correctly....

Cheers
Michael

Take a look at the Ignite FAQ (click on "make_recovery vs make_tape_recovery"). It gives detail explaination between the two and that should provide the answer you need with regards to the compatibility between the two.

My two cents worth. Which ever version you decide on keep the version the same on ALL of the systems. If you are going to use and Ignite server, remember that the first thing and Ignite server does is to try and install Ignite on the client. If the client has a different version you will end up with a "Mixed version install" on the client. That may cause you problems and error messages later on the clients. To avoid those problems be sure and swremove the old version on the clients first! Then you have the option of having the Ignite server install it's version or you can swinstall the from the same Depot on the clients.

Good luck with the Ignite server, I set ours up almost a year ago and I can't imagine a better recovery/cloning tool and it is FREE!
