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

4. Disable TFTP on the Ignite-UX server (optional).
Unless you need to initiate installations via network boot, you may now disable TFTP on the
Ignite-UX server. You may remove or comment out the "tftp" entry from /etc/inetd.conf.
If the system to be installed is running any version of HP-UX, booting from the network can be
avoided by using the bootsys command or by booting from media and switching to the
Ignite-UX server.
In the boot-from-media case, it will be necessary to either specify the _hp_loadfile_use_nfs
keyword on the boot loader command line or create custom media with that keyword built
into it.
For PA-RISC systems, interrupt the autoboot sequence at the prompt
Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?> y
and enter the following (substitute 11.31 for 11.23 depending on the release).
ISL> hpux -i_hp_loadfile_use_nfs=\"true\" Rel_B.11.23/WINSTALL
For Integrity systems, interrupt the autoboot sequence at the prompt
Press Any Key to interrupt Autoboot
and enter the following (substitute 11.31 for 11.23 depending on the release).
HPUX> boot Rel_B.11.23/IINSTALL -i_hp_loadfile_use_nfs=\"true\"
If you do need to preserve the ability to perform network boot, but otherwise wish to take
advantage of the NFS loadfile functionality, you may remove the /var/opt/ignite
directory from the "tftp" entry in /etc/inetd.conf, leaving only /opt/ignite.
When Ignite-UX is installed, it automatically enables the TFTP daemon. If you reinstall Ignite-UX,
you will need to reapply these changes.
For information on booting from media and then switching to an Ignite-UX server over the
network, see “Alternate Boot with Network Server Installation” (page 26). For information
about changing configuration content in the install file system, see instl_adm(1M) and
instl_adm(4).
5. Verify that the configuration works.
Perform an installation, and watch the console output or the install.log file for the
“Ignite-UX will use NFS for loadfile.” message:
