Ignite-UX Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i (B3921-90079, October 2013)

# mkdir /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/archive
# cp goldenarchive.gz /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/archive
# make_media_install -r B.11.31 -o IA -a goldenarchive.gz -m iso_directory
Put a PA-RISC HP-UX 11i v2 golden archive on a DVD
On a system with a DVD writer, execute the following commands. (The iso_directory is the
target directory for the .iso media file. The -r option specifies the release, such as B.11.11,
B.11.23, or B.11.31. The -o option specifies the hardware architecture — valid choices on a
PA-RISC system are: 32, 64v, or 64w.)
# mkdir /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/archive
# cp goldenarchive.gz /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/archive
# make_media_install -r B.11.23 -o 64w -a goldenarchive.gz -m iso_directory
Put two HP-UX 11i v2 golden archives, one Itanium-based and one PA-RISC, on a DVD
The Itanium-based golden archive can only be installed on another Itanium-based system. Similarly,
the PA-RISC golden archive can only be installed on another PA-RISC system. The DVD will be able
to boot either type of architecture.
On a system with a DVD writer, execute the following commands. (The file suffixes .pa.gz and
.ia.gz replace the make_media_install -o option. The iso_directory is the target
directory for the .iso media file. The -r option specifies the release, such as B.11.23, or
B.11.31.)
# mkdir /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/archive
# cp PAgoldenarchive.pa.gz /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/archive
# cp IAgoldenarchive.ia.gz /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/archive
# make_media_install -r B.11.23 -a PAgoldenarchive.pa.gz \
-a IAgoldenarchive.ia.gz -m iso_directory
Create a recovery DVD
Create a recovery image of the current system on the named Ignite-UX server, and write that
recovery image to the DVD writer on the server system by issuing the following command on the
client system.
# make_opticaldisc_recovery Ignite_server_name
Create an HP-UX 11i v2 Itanium-based recovery DVD using an existing network recovery image
Run the following command from the Ignite-UX server on which the recovery image exists. (The -r
option specifies the HP-UX release, and the -o option specifies the hardware architecture.)
# make_media_install -r B.11.23 -o IA \
-f /var/opt/ignite/clients/client/recovery/archive/archive_cfg \
-f /var/opt/ignite/clients/client/recovery/archive/control_cfg \
-f /var/opt/ignite/clients/client/recovery/archive/system_cfg \
-a archive.gz \
-p /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client \
-m /var/tmp
Error messages
No DVD available
The make_media_install script will automatically write the .iso image (default file name is
image.iso) to the DVD. If there is no writable DVD available, the script will halt with a message
similar to
:-[ LOAD TRAY failed with SK=5h/ASC=24h/ACQ=00h]: I/O error
The .iso file will remain in the iso_directory specified with the -m option. Make sure you
have enough disk space in the iso_directory to hold the .iso image.
