HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide
Ignite-UX overview
Ignite-UX addresses the need for HP-UX system administrators to perform system installations and deployment,
often on a large scale. It provides the means for creating and reusing standard system configurations. It
provides the ability to archive a standard system configuration and to use that archive to replicate systems,
with the added benefit of speeding up the process. It also permits post-installation customizations and is
capable of both interactive and unattended operating modes.
NOTE: This product is available for HP-UX systems only.
After Ignite-UX is installed, you access its features in HP SIM by selecting Deploy→Ignite-UX.
