New version of Ignite takes up too much space on disk!

[Fedon Kadifeli]

I am using a very old version of Ignite on my production servers:

# swlist -l bundle |grep -i ignite
B5725AA B.1.59 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)
Ignite-UX-11-00 B.1.51 HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.00 Systems

Operating system version is HP-UX 11.00.

I decided to upgrade Ignite to the latest version and downloaded the file Ignite-UX_All_C.6.1.44.depot which is about 200MB. I upgraded one of my test servers to this version by selecting *only* these packages:

B5725AA C.6.1.44 HP-UX Installation
Utilities (Ignite-UX)
Ignite-UX-11-00 C.6.1.44 HP-UX Installation
Utilities for Installing 11.00 Systems

After the installation, the size of the "ignite" directory under "/opt" became larger than 300MB:

# du -sk /opt/ignite
333361 /opt/ignite

The old version was around 80MB:

# du -sk /opt/ignite
84143 /opt/ignite

Due to disk space limitations I do NOT want Ignite to take so much space on my systems.

Is there a way to reduce this usage (by not selecting some filesets)? Note that, we are not planning to use network recovery or any kind of Ignite installation server.

For example I see in the following output:

# swlist -l fileset | grep -i ignite
# Ignite-UX C.6.1.44 HP-UX System Installation Services

Ignite-UX.OBAM-RUN C.6.1.44 User Interface Libraries Needed for Older Systems
Ignite-UX.RECOVERY C.6.1.44 System disaster recovery tools

that some of the filesets are not needed in our environment.

Hi,

Download these two version from the software page and install them.

HP-UX 11.00 only
HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) only

You will need the 11.11 because of a small bug, you can skipp the other versions.

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

swremoved all Ignite filesets; installed first Ignite-UX-11-11_C.6.1.44_HP-UX_B.11.00_32_64.depot and then Ignite-UX-11-00_C.6.1.44_HP-UX_B.11.00_32_64.depot (this is due to bug mentioned above).

Now I have the following filesets (as expected):

# swlist -l fileset | grep -i ignite
# Ignite-UX C.6.1.44 HP-UX System Installation Services
Ignite-UX.BOOT-COMMON-PA C.6.1.44 Common Boot Components for PA-RISC clients
Ignite-UX.BOOT-KRN-11-00 C.6.1.44 Installation Boot Kernel for B.11.00 clients
Ignite-UX.BOOT-KRN-11-11 C.6.1.44 Installation Boot Kernel for B.11.11 clients
Ignite-UX.BOOT-SERVICES C.6.1.44 Network Boot Services for System Installations
Ignite-UX.FILE-SRV-11-00 C.6.1.44 File Archives Used By Clients During HP-UX Install
Ignite-UX.FILE-SRV-11-11 C.6.1.44 File Archives Used By Clients During HP-UX Install
Ignite-UX.IGNITE C.6.1.44 Graphical Ignite User Interface for Installations
Ignite-UX.IGNT-ENG-A-MAN C.6.1.44 Ignite-UX Manual Pages
Ignite-UX.MGMT-TOOLS C.6.1.44 Tools for Managing Data Files on an Ignition Server
Ignite-UX.OBAM-RUN C.6.1.44 User Interface Libraries Needed for Older Systems
Ignite-UX.RECOVERY C.6.1.44 System disaster recovery tools

and less disk usage:

# du -sk /opt/ignite
127192 /opt/ignite
