Ignite-UX Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i (B3921-90080, November 2013)

4. Verify the syntax of the configuration files listed in the INDEX file.
# instl_adm -T
Fix any errors found by instl_adm and repeat the instl_adm -T to verify any changes.
5. Ensure the NFS file system is exported correctly. In the sw_source clause above, we specified
the location of the golden archive to be a file on an NFS server. You must ensure clients have
access to this directory on the Ignite-UX server.
Ignite-UX automatically tries to export /var/opt/ignite/clients for its use. In our
example, /var/opt/ignite/archives/Rel_B.11.11 must also be exported because
that is where we placed the golden archive.
On HP-UX 11i v3 Ignite-UX servers:
• To view the current status, use the following command.
# share
• Edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file and add the following lines:
share -F nfs -o anon=2 /var/opt/ignite/clients
share -F nfs -o anon=2,ro /var/opt/ignite/archives/Rel_B.11.11
• Run the following command to share all the NFS file systems.
# shareall -F nfs
On HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2 Ignite-UX servers:
• To view the current status, use the following command.
# exportfs -v
• Edit the /etc/exports file and add the following lines:
/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2
/var/opt/ignite/archives/Rel_B.11.11 -ro,anon=2
• Run the following command to export all directories listed in /etc/exports.
# exportfs -av
See dfstab(4) or exportfs(4) for more information.
Enabling the Client
Since the Ignite-UX server is now configured with the new golden image, you can use Ignite-UX to
install the golden image onto a client. To do this, you need to get the client to inform the Ignite-UX
server that it is ready to install a new operating system. There are two methods for doing this.
• If the client is currently running HP-UX, boot the system from the server by entering
# bootsys -v -w client_hostname
where client_hostname is the name of the client.
• If the client is not currently running HP-UX, boot the system from the client console. See “Booting
Itanium-Based Clients using the Network” (page 101) or“Booting PA-RISC Clients from the
Console ” (page 100), depending on the system type.
Installing the Golden Image on the Client
Once a golden image is created, you can install it just like any other Ignite-UX installation
configuration. See “Installation Using the Ignite-UX GUI” (page 113). On the Basic tab, select the
golden image configuration from Configurations:.
See Chapter 13: “Automating Installations” (page 172) for information on how to execute an
installation with no interaction.
