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

Appendix C 263

Ignite-UX System Administration

Section 7: Steps to Create a “Golden System”

On the IUX server, set up the core software to be distributed:

# make_depots -r B.11.00 -a 700 -s \

hpfclc:/release/S700_11.00/B3782EA

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_config -r B.11.00

The make_depots command will copy the release B.11.00 software at

the SD depot pointed to by the “-s” option (this pathname will depend on

the setup of the SD depot you are accessing) onto the local Ignite-UX

server. (You can also run make_conﬁg and point it to the remote depot

directly.)

The make_conﬁg command will then add this software as a conﬁguration

available for Ignite-UX installations.

Step 1.1: Installing HP-UX onto the target “golden system”.

First, boot the target from the Ignite-UX server. If the target is currently

running HP-UX, use the following:

# bootsys -v -w -f -i “HP-UX B.11.00 Default” <target_hostname>

If the target is not currently running HP-UX, use the following:

boot lan install

Use the normal Ignite-UX target install steps as laid out in Section 2.

Step 4. Select the conﬁguration you’ve just set up, “HP-UX B.11.00

Default”.

Step 2: Loading critical patches onto the OS

At this point you should have a target system with the basic 11.00

release. If you have patches which you wish to distribute to all users,

install them now. This is normally done using the standard SD tools.

Step 2.1: As an example, install patch PHSS_8375. If you’ve downloaded

and unshar’d a patch, you will have a depot ﬁle. For example, after

downloading PHSS_8375 and unsharing it, you would be left with ﬁles

“PHSS_8375.depot” and “PHSS_8375.text”. To install the patch

non-interactively, run the following:

# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true -s \

./PHSS_8375.depot

These instructions can also be found in the ﬁle

“PHSS_8375.text”.
