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

244 Appendix C

Ignite-UX System Administration

Section 2: The Install Archive

When ﬁnished entering data, select “Go!”

A conﬁguration dialog will appear. Make sure the data is correct, and

select “Go!” again.

Step 4.9:

Displaying target installation status

If you double-click on the icon of the target system in the Ignite-UX

server GUI during execution, a status screen will be displayed showing

the install progress.

NOTE A Note on the GUI:

Ignite-UX determines the state of a target by reading the ﬁles in the

/var/opt/ignite/clients/<LLA> directory. Seeing an icon in the

GUI does not mean that the target actually exists -- only that its conﬁg

and control ﬁles exist in the Ignite-UX directories. We can use this

behavior to our advantage to reinstall systems. This means that if you’re

reinstalling a system that Ignite-UX has already installed, you may need

to re-execute the bootsys command (or boot the client from the Ignite-UX

server).

Step 5. Finished

In less than 30 minutes, the target system should have the new OS

installed, a new kernel built, the system rebooted and ready for use.

Status of the target system will be shown on its icon, and in the

(double-click) status screen.
