Space required to install ignite

[Vivek Shrivastava_1]

Hi,

I am planning to install Ignite-UX to make backup tapes.
i need to know how much space do i need in what filesystem, i only have 100MB in /opt file system.


i am using the following link for Ignite UX:

http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/download.html

Please also help me with installation. My unix Box is standalone Box, I need Ignite to just create make_recovery tape for that box only.

thanks

try swinstall -p

That, with the other normal parameters will let you know if there is enough space. Based on prior experience, I think you have enough.

Hi,

Is there any way i can force Ignite to use some other file system, so that it does no touch /opt.

thanks

Hi Vivek,

You can also highlight the pkg in the GUI & do Actions -> Information & it will tell you the size.

H Jeff,

When say GUI, are you referring to SAM or something else?

Thanks

Hi (again) Vivek,

No - export your display & run
swinstall &
and that will bring up the GUI version of swinstall.
You can also bring up the non-GUI version with
swinstall -i

Rgds,
Jeff
