Looking for Ignite - for 10.20 on a J5600

[Angie_1]

I am looking for a copy of Ignite for a 10.20 system. I did go to www.software.hp.com and downloaded what should be fine, but isn't. It isn't detecting the file as a DEPOT file... and I can untar it... but there is no way to install it. It should be recognized though as a depot file and wondering if there is something corrupt/wrong on the site. Not sure. Can someone please tell me where I can get a good copy of it? Need to Ignite a 10.20 system. Thanks - Angie

You probably either have an incomplete download or have done the old ftp binary/ascii trick.

Do the download again, if you choose .zip file, make sure all ftp transfers involving the file are binary.

Angie,

I would start with downloading the file again:

http://www.software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=IGNITEUX

It's been a while since I installed Ignite but I don't think you have to untar it - just swinstall the downloaded file.

Hi Angie,

Ignite for all HP-UX OS's is included with every media set. If you have *any* recent 11.0 or 11.11 CD sets, you'll find it on one of the App CDs.
For EX on my 11.11 June '03 set it's on App 2 CD, but on the Sep '03 set it's on App 1.
But it's *always* in the App set somewhere - all versions.

HTH,
Jeff

Hi,

If you can tar it, then it is in depot format. What if you directly specify the file name in your swinstall session?.

In another way, you can do the followoing

#cd /where_the_bundle_is
#mkdir ignite
#cd ignite
#tar xvf ../downloaded_ignite_file
#touch catalog/swlock
#swreg -l depot /where_the_bundle_is/ignite

The above will serve as a network depot and try installing it from there.

Than you all for replying.

I ended up downloading the direct link for the 10.20 version only and that worked.
I assigned points.

Thank you all so much again!

hi Angie Vonderohe,

what Sridhar Bhaskarla has mentioned is absolutely right,it's a shame he is been awarded only 1 point.Actually the download from www.hp.software.com is actually in the depot format.If i'am right the file u have download might be 1586505.Though it is not explicitly named as abcd.depot format, if u try "file 1586505" command in command prompt it says it is in tar format. It doesn't mean u need to run tar command on this file. The reason it shows it is a tar file because it satisfies certain conditions mentioned in /etc/magic file for tar file.

This is the solution for ur problem,

1) copy the file u have downloaded to /tmp directory.
cp 1586505 /tmp
note: in my case the name of the downloaded file was 1586505
2) run swinstall as follows
swinstall -s /tmp/1586505

then select the product it shows and mark to install from action menu and next click on install button which is also available on action menu.

Voila u have finished installation and congrats for choosing to install ignite -UX because it saves lot of time and effort, in case of disaster.

best of luck
