Conﬁguring an Ignite-UX Server

Setting Up an Ignite-UX Server

To use a depot other than /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 to read the software,

you can specify the depot with the -s option.

For example, the following would apply if you already have an OS

depot, or you have made modiﬁcations to it. Then you can use the

make_config and manage_index commands to generate a

conﬁguration ﬁle. For example:

# make_config -s server:/depot_700 \

-c /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.10.20/core_700

# manage_index -a -f /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.10.20/core_700

See the ignite(5) man page for further examples.

2. For non-SD OS software:

If the source is not an SD depot (i.e., it is an archive image), then the

add_release command is not applicable.

You will need to create a unique conﬁg ﬁle that represents the non-SD

operating system software. A sample of a conﬁg ﬁle that does a core

archive can be found at the following location:

/opt/ignite/data/examples/core.cfg

After copying this ﬁle and making edits to it as instructed in the

comments contained in the ﬁle, you can use the manage_index tool

to insert a reference to this conﬁguration in the following location:

/var/opt/ignite/INDEX

Add additional

applications (optional)

If you have other software that you would like to pull during your install

and want to have the software made available for selection in the

Ignite-UX UI, run the make_config and manage_index tools on those

depots. If the contents are not 700/800 speciﬁc, then the -a[78]00

option should not be used.

NOTE Do not attempt to use non-core-OS archives (i.e. layered applications)

that contain ﬁles that get loaded in/var/adm/sw/* . Shipping ﬁles in

this directory in this method may corrupt the software distributor

database.

For SD application

software

1. Run the following commands for each depot you plan to load SD

software from during the installation. The make_config tool only

handles SD software which is packaged in bundle form. (All
