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

boot content [W|V|I]INSTALL [W|V|I]INSTALLFS INSTCMDS or INSTCMDSIA, config files, and other files
to support boot and Ignite-UX functionality needed to switch to another install source.
boot helper media Installation media with no archive. Meant for booting only. Installation is completed using an
Ignite-UX server.
boot helper system A system with minimal Ignite-UX core functionality on a local subnet that provides an Ignite install
kernel to a client to assist it with booting from an Ignite-UX server on another subnet.
boot image Boot content, including [W|V|I]INSTALL, [W|V|I]INSTALLFS, INSTCMDS or INSTCMDSIA, and
other content needed to support boot, formatted for a specific media type such as CD, DVD, or
tape.
bootsys An Ignite-UX command that allows you to reboot and install clients that are currently running
HP-UX. See bootsys(1M).
bundle A package of software available from Software Distributor. Bundles are distributed within depots
and contain products and filesets. Ignite-UX typically references software at the bundle level, as
opposed to product or product.fileset.
C
CD boot image A boot image formatted for a CD.
cDSF Cluster-wide Device Special File. When servers in a cluster/otherwise share storage, cDSFs are
created to ensure that all the servers sharing storage use the same unique cDSFs to access the
disk. Character cDSFs reside in /dev/rcdisk and block cDSFs reside in /dev/cdisk directories
respectively. There is a one-to-one mapping between agile DSF and cDSF.
NOTE: cDSFs are only unique between systems configured to share cDSFs. Typically cDSFs are
setup within a single Serviceguard cluster.
cfg clause See configuration clause.
check_net_recovery An Ignite-UX command that compares the files on a currently running system with a network
recovery archive created by make_net_recovery. A report is generated showing those files
that have been added, deleted, or changed since the recovery archive was created. See
check_net_recovery(1M).
check_tape_recovery
An Ignite-UX command that compares the files on a currently running system with a tape recovery
archive created by make_tape_recovery. A report is generated showing those files that have
been added, deleted, or changed since the recovery archive was created. See
check_tape_recovery(1M).
CINDEX An INDEX file for individual clients, kept in the /var/opt/ignite/client directory on the
Ignite-UX server. Used to install recovery images made with make_net_recovery.
client A computer that uses an Ignite-UX server for installation, recovery services, or both.
cloning systems To replicate one computer’s software and configuration onto another. This can be accomplished
to varying degrees using make_sys_image and make_[tape|net]_recovery.
cold install Booting, loading HP-UX onto, and then starting a system. This process loads a new copy of HP-UX
onto a system.
common
configuration
System software you want replicated onto other systems, such as: an operating system, patches,
and application software.
compressed file A file made smaller with compression software such as gzip or compress without losing any
information. See gzip(1) and compress(1).
CONFIG A file in the LIF volume that typically contains all the software configuration information and the
default file system layout information. It includes default configuration information for the operating
system release, user-defined configuration information, and information regarding archives and
depots.
config file See configuration file.
configuration
clause
Defines a collection of related configuration files used to install or recover a system. You will find
configuration clauses in the /var/opt/ignite/data/INDEX file for installations, and in the
250 Glossary
