Conﬁguring an Ignite-UX Server

Installing Server Software

The requirements for a server are outlined in “Hardware Requirements

for the Ignite-UX Server and Clients”.

The steps for installing the server are outlined in “Setting Up an

Ignite-UX Server”,

Installation of Ignite-UX will take care of most of the server

conﬁguration tasks. These include setting up IP addresses and

hostnames, interface location, and client response behavior. These can

also be done outside Ignite-UX by the setup_server tool (see

setup_server(1M)) as a simple interface, or by using the Ignite-UX GUI.

The overall server setup tasks include the following:

1. Install HP-UX 10.x (if you have not already done so).

2. Install Ignite-UX tools and data.

3. Set up core software.

4. Add additional applications (optional).

5. Run ignite to complete the conﬁguration (using the Server interface

screen) and to start the install process.
