Loading Ignite Images to EVA drives

[Frank Haggarty_2]

I need to have the availability to load different releases and different release dates of HP-UX. For this reason I've added an EVA to my Ignite server (rx2600). I want to put all the images (depots and data) on the EVA. I have created the directory "images" and under that I've created the "data" and "depots" directories that you would find under the default "/var/opt/ignite/". I create the depots with the following:
make_depots -s /mnt -d /images/depots/Rel_B.11.31_Mar09_DCOE
I then make the data portion with:
make_config -c /images/data/Rel_B.11.31_Mar09_DCOE/core_cfg
-s /images/depots/Rel_B.11.31_Mar09_DCOE

I manage_index the INDEX file and everything looks correct but when I try to Ignite a system Ignite says "No Environments Found". If I create the data (make_config)using the path "/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31_Mar09_DCOE/core_cfg" the load works perfectly. Can you point me in the right direction as to what I'm doing wrong?

Shalom,

Ignite make_net_recovery images can be saved and loaded from any NFS share. You need read-write permissions to write the images.

Disk type means nothing.

See these documents to see where you might have gone wrong in the initial setup:

perhaps can try using the
swcopy
make_bundles
make_config
manage_index
instl_adm -T

"No Environments Found" usually means your INDEX file is not setup properly.

Post a example stanza from your INDEX file.

And 'instl_adm -T' will check your INDEX file for you.
