3. The initial boot content (kernel, file system, and required files) is downloaded from the server
to the client, then the client is booted. For Itanium-based systems, these files are downloaded
in the order listed: nbp.efi, AUTO, fpswa.efi, hpux.efi, IINSTALL, and IINSTALLFS.
PA-RISC systems download these files in the order listed: boot_lif, AUTO, WINSTALL, and
WINSTALLFS.
4. The file install.log is updated on the server in the /var/opt/ignite/clients/client
directory. A compressed tar archive of commands to set up disk volumes and file systems is
downloaded (INSTCMDS for PA-RISC, and INSTCMDSIA for Itanium-based systems). The TUI
is run on the client console. The user selects the installation configuration via the TUI and selects
Go!. A compressed tar archive of commands required to complete the installation is
downloaded (SYSCMDS for PA-RISC and SYSCMDSIA for Itanium-based systems). Ports used
by NFS to make RPC (Remote Procedure Call) calls are not discussed here.
5. If the installation is from an image, it is downloaded. Ports used by NFS to make RPC calls
are not discussed here.
6. If the installation configuration requires software to be installed from depots on the server, a
swinstall request is sent to the server's Software Distributor (SD) daemon, swagentd, on
port 2121. An SD agent, swagent, is then spawned on the server that acquires a dynamically
allocated communication port for the download. That communication port is then reported to
the client on port 2121. The client then spawns a new swagent processes that communicates
with the server on the acquired communication port P, where the depot download takes place.
For more information on SD, see the Software Distributor Administration Guide available at
