Boot from HP-UX OE install DVD, then switch to network server - This option requires the system
to have a CD or DVD drive attached, or iLO vMedia support. The version of Ignite-UX on the OE
media must match the Ignite-UX version on the server. For more information on iLO vMedia, see
Appendix D (page 238) and the HP Integrity iLO 2 MP Operations Guide available at http://
www.hp.com/go/hpsc.
Create matching installation media on server - It is possible to create installation media for booting
purposes. This type of installation media does not include a full archive. See Chapter 14: “Creating
Your Own Boot and Installation Media”, for more information.
Boot from installation media then switch to network server - This option assumes you have created
installation media for booting purposes. See Chapter 14: “Creating Your Own Boot and Installation
Media”, for more information. This option requires the system to have a CD or DVD drive attached,
or iLO vMedia support. For more information on iLO vMedia, see Appendix D (page 238) and the
HP Integrity iLO 2 MP Operations Guide available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc.
See the decision trees for network server installation - These decision trees are: Figure 5: “Decision
Tree When Configuring a Server for Booting PA-RISC Systems”, and Figure 6, "Decision Tree
When Configuring a Server for Booting Itanium-Based Systems.”
Using bootsys on the Client Console
The bootsys command may be run from the client console if you use the -c Ignite-UX Server
option. This option directs bootsys to contact the specified Ignite-UX server, and then perform a
local reboot.
For more information on bootsys, see bootsys(1M) and the section describing its use from the
server: “Installation Using bootsys” (page 110).
