Cold-Install Tasks
Chapter 4 69
Task 4: Updating Your Ignite-UX Server
If you intend to use the Ignite-UX server to cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 on
more than one system, update your Ignite-UX server first.
The HP-UX 11i v3 DVD contains the complete Ignite-UX product. When
you cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 from the media, a subset of Ignite-UX is
used to perform the installation on a single system. Updating your
Ignite-UX server and using it to update other systems ensures that:
• You keep consistent kernel configuration with specific drivers,
daemons, and kernel tunables on all systems.
• You have the following commands to create an operating system
recovery image: make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery.
Refer to the make_net_recovery (1M) and make_tape_recovery (1M)
manpages for information.
For information on updating your Ignite-UX server, download the latest
Ignite-UX software and documentation from the Ignite-UX Web site:

Task 5: Locating Source Media and Codewords
Locate the source media needed for the cold-install. See “Locating Source
Media and Codewords” on page 76 for instructions.
