Installing HP-UX 11.0 and Updating HP-UX 10.x to 11.0 HP 9000 Computers Edition 1

Appendix C 233
Ignite-UX System Administration
Section 1: Installation of Ignite-UX Server Software
If you get the following error message:
ERROR: This machine is not an NFS server (no nfsd running). The -n
option will not be processed.
you did not follow the installation instructions properly. The Ignite-UX
server must be an NFS server. Exit Ignite-UX, and make the Ignite-UX
server an NFS server before continuing. You can do this by using “sam”,
or by editing /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf and setting NFS_SERVER=1 and
rebooting. If you do not get the above error, you can note that Ignite-UX
has modified your /etc/exports file to include the
/var/opt/ignite/clients directory.
This directory is exported to allow remote “root” users to write to the
client’s directory. This is required for proper Ignite-UX operations. You
may need to export additional directories; for example, if you use NFS to
transfer an archive, it must be NFS accessible.
Step 2) Perform Ignite-UX Server Configuration
Step 2.1) Select “Options->Server Configuration”. This will
show the Server Configuration Menu with two tabs: “Server Options”
and “Session Options”. Under the “Server Options” tab, do the following:
Modify (if needed) the Server Options to match the following:
Default Configuration:Set to the OS revision you wish to be the default.
Default Printer: <select a default printer to be used by IUX>
Client Timeout: 40 [this is the number of minutes delay due to network, or client
failures before the IUX server will inform the administrator of a problem]
Run client installation UI on: server “Server= run the GUI for all
installations on the server” or “ target = run the TUI on the target system” or none+
don’t run a UI”..
Step 2.2) Select “Add booting IP Address”. During the install
process, the clients need to do a network boot from the Ignite-UX server.
In order to do this, the clients need to be given a temporary IP address.
Under “Booting Clients”, provide an initial range of available IP
addresses. The following example will allow Ignite-UX to perform 20
simultaneous installations. This IP address is only used when booting
over the network during the initial transfer of the kernel to the client.
You may only need 1 or 2 addresses depending on how many systems do
network boots at the same time. (See instl_bootd(1M)). If you need to
changes these addresses later, you will need to edit the
/etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab file directly.
