Ignite warning message

[George_Dodds]

I've bee having a play at setting up an ignite server L2000 v11.00.

I installed ignite ok and the recommended patch PHCO_25418.

I then then added a client (another L2K v11.00) and patched that as well with the same patch.

But when i run the create network recovery archive i get the warning that the PAX on the client needs to be patched with PHCO_25418, which it allready has been.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Just a thought, George, because I haven't played with Ignite servers: If it's just a warning, can't it be ignored?

Yup patch is installed ok and verfied.

Green icons on the gui front end are much nicer than yellow warning ones :)

Does the error look like :

Mar 06 10:44:55 GMT 2003)
@(#) Ignite-UX Revision B.4.1.55
@(#) net_recovery (opt) $Revision: 10.597 $


* User interface starting.
* WARNING: The version of pax on the system to be archived needs to be
patched with one of the following patches or newer ones. If
you do not
load the pax patch some files will not be correctly archived
(See the Ignite-UX release notes for details):

System OS Patch needed
--------- ------------
10.01 PHCO_11975

10.20 PHCO_20388
10.30 PHCO_11978
11.00 PHCO_25418
11.11 PHCO_26422

you can get patches over the web from the patch database
(http://itresourcecenter.hp.com) or directly from the FTP server ?

If yes I'd suggest you try ignite 4.2 (released this month)since this was a known issue with 4.1 wrt 10.20 systems .... it's pheasible with my limitted knowledge of ignite that it wormed it's way to 11.xx too ..... NB I beleive this in mentioned in the Release notes for 4.2 /opt/ignite/share/doc/relase_note

.... worth ago at least

Thanks Alex i'll try it, i'm using B.4.1.61 at the moment.

Will i need to update the client as well?

[George_Dodds]

BTW the answer was yes the error does look like that :)

I'd suggest it would be wise to upgrade the client too or just remove the ignite s/w and rely on the server to push the new binaries over ..... honest truth is I'm not sure, after reproducing the error I simply removed ignite on both client and server and tried again with the newer versions ... warning disappeared .
