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

/opt/ignite/data/Rel_release/config,
where release is the operating system release on the client you intend to recover. For example:
/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/config
would be added for a client with the HP-UX 11.11 operating system. This new configuration file
entry should be the first entry in the clause you are modifying.
When you use the Ignite-UX GUI during recovery, select the File System type you want to use on
the Basic tab.
Tape Recovery With No Tape Boot Support — Two-Step Media Recovery
You can use the Ignite-UX tape recovery tool to recover your system even if there is no tape boot
support on the system.
Certain configurations, which are on most HP Integrity servers, allow you to directly boot a recovery
tape. For information about what configurations and minimum firmware revisions support native
tape boot on HP Integrity servers, refer to the Ignite-UX Installation Booting white paper, available
at http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux-docs.
IMPORTANT: HP recommends you boot from the Operating Environment (OE) media that
corresponds to the version of Ignite-UX you used to create your recovery tape. HP supports only
matched OE media and recovery tape version combinations.
Using unmatched versions might produce unpredictable results, including: missing files, error
messages, system hangs, and panics.
If you have misplaced the matching OE, or are using an Ignite-UX version with no matching OE,
you can make your own minimal bootable CD/DVD to support two-step media recovery. See
“Creating a Boot CD/DVD or an Installation DVD” (page 182), or see the section How do I create
the CD equivalent of a tape created by make_boot_tape? in the Ignite-UX Custom Configuration
Files document found on http://www.docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX.
1. Insert the HP-UX OE media or the bootable custom media into the appropriate drive, and boot
from it. Either media must match the HP-UX version used when creating the recovery tape.
The User Interface and Media Options screen appears. Select Media only installation and
then OK.
User Interface and Media Options
This screen lets you pick from options that will determine if an
Ignite-UX server is used, and your user interface preference.
Source Location Options:
[ * ] Media only installation
[ ] Media with Network enabled (allows use of SD depots)
[ ] Ignite-UX server based installation
User Interface Options:
[ * ] Advanced Installation (recommended for disk and file
system management)
[ ] No user interface - setup basic networking, use defaults
and go
[ ] Remote graphical interface running on the Ignite-UX server
Hint: If you need to make LVM size changes, or want to set the
final networking parameters during the install, you will
need to use the Advanced mode (or remote graphical
interface).
