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

registered client A client system that has its MAC address registered with the server in order to always boot to the
same assigned IP address. For PA-RISC systems, the client’s MAC address is assigned to an IP
address in the /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab or /etc/bootptab file. For Itanium-based
systems, the default is to use the /etc/bootptab file. Contrast with anonymous client.
required With 11i v3, software and network driver bundles that are required and always installed with
HP-UX. Software in this category cannot be deselected.
S
save_config An Ignite-UX command that creates a hardware configuration file. It extracts disk and file system
information along with certain system and networking parameters for the current system, and
writes it to a configuration file. See save_config(1M).
script hook Predefined mechanisms allowing user-defined scripts to run at specific points during the execution
of the installation. Within the Ignite-UX installation procedure there are various script hooks:
pre-config, pre-load, post-load, post-config, and final. See instl_adm(4) under “Command and
Script Execution Hooks.”
SCRIPTS A configuration clause of commands in the LIF volume containing scripts that can be selected in
the itool under the Advanced tab.
SD-UX See Software Distributor.
selectable For 11i v1 and 11i v2, software bundles that are not installed by default with HP-UX. You must
select these bundles to install them. Ignite-UX is an example of a selectable software bundle.
server A computer that provides software and services to clients.
server selection The ability of a client system to request DHCP/bootp boot services from a specific boot server
and ignore all other boot offers. Client networking configuration information is supplied by the
boot server.
setup_server An Ignite-UX command that performs administration tasks for an Ignite-UX server from a command
line interface. The same functionality is available with the Ignite-UX GUI. See setup_server(1M).
Software Depot See depot.
Software
Distributor
An HP-UX product that provides a set of tools for centralized HP-UX software management.
Software Distributor (SD-UX) commands are included with the installation of the HP-UX operating
system. SD-UX commands typically use the prefix “sw”, such as in swinstall and swverify.
stand alone In terms of Ignite-UX (as opposed to any other usage) a client system that is not network booted,
but may still use an Ignite-UX server for installation or recovery.
standard label
tape
A tape containing ANSI standard labeling. Ignite-UX uses ansitape(1) to create a standard label
tape.
subnet A separate part of a larger network connected via network gateways.
SWAP A use designation typically for an logical volume manager (LVM) logical volume or a VxVM
volume for paging. See swapon(1M).
SWAP+DUMP A use designation typically for an logical volume manager (LVM) logical volume or a VxVM
volume that can be used for DUMP or SWAP.
SYSCMDS A compressed tar archive of commands in the LIF volume or on an Ignite-UX server, required
for installation of PA-RISC systems.
SYSCMDSIA A compressed tar archive of commands in the LIF volume or on an Ignite-UX server, required
for installation of Itanium-based systems.
system image See image.
system recovery The use of a recovery image to reestablish a system.
T
two-step media
recovery
A method of using the Ignite-UX tape recovery tool when a system or I/O interface does not
support firmware tape boot. The method involves step 1: booting from installation media such as
DVD or CD, and then step 2: recovering from tape.
