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

From now on, when a registered client’s boot request is answered by bootpd, it will boot to the
reserved IP address you entered in the /etc/bootptab file. You can make changes to the
bootptab file at any time.
IMPORTANT: The server that sends the response to the boot request is the same system from
which the client will attempt to tftp the boot file. If you are not using an HP-UX system to reply
to a request, you must make the required boot files available and current with new releases of
Ignite-UX. HP does not provide support for this kind of configuration.
Use the Server Setup Wizard to Proceed to Software Depot Setup
Follow the steps outlined in the section “Configuring the Ignite-UX Server for PA-RISC Clients”
(page 30) from “Launch Ignite-UX” (page 30) through “Launch the Server Setup Wizard” (page 31).
When you get to the Server Setup: IP Addresses dialog box (Figure 10) select Skip Booting IP
Setup, and then click Next.
A note appears instructing you how to configure IP addresses in the future. Click OK, and the
Server Setup: DHCP (optional) dialog box is displayed. Select Skip DHCP Setup, then click Next.
A dialog box is displayed to tell you how to configure DHCP services later. Click OK.
The Server Setup: Software Depot Setup dialog box now appears (Figure 12 (page 36)).
Setting Up Software from OE Depots
Before starting the software depot installation, you should have on hand either a set of OE media
or information about a remote system that contains a previously installed OE depot.
If you are using media, you will need a locally attached optical drive: a DVD-ROM for DVD or CD
media, or a CD-ROM drive for CD media. The media should not be mounted before starting if you
are planning to create a local depot. The media can be mounted before starting if you are planning
to install directly from the media. For performance reasons, HP does not recommend installing
directly from media when more than one system will be attempting to access the media.
If you are using a previously installed OE depot, it should have been installed using the process
described below, or by using the make_depots command.
Regardless of the source of the OE depot, the full OE should be installed, not a subset.
