Configuring an Ignite-UX Server
Installing Server Software
Memory For any system installed using Ignite-UX, the required
minimum is 32 MB. (Some older Series 800 models
(PA1.0 processor), such as 8x5 are not supported.) Your
HP sales engineer can assist in determining the proper
amount of RAM.
Information on RAM requirements is also available on
the following web site:

html.
Source Device Make sure that your system has an appropriate source
(CD-ROM, DDS drive, or LAN card). Ensure that tape
drive heads are clean.
Disk Drive A target system needs at least one hard-disk drive with
at least the following capacities: (The Ignite-UX
program performs an analysis of disk space needed
prior to loading the software.)
• 2 GB or more for a generally usable system.
• Swap space allotment depends on the software
loaded and can be adjusted in the Ignite-UX
interface.
• File system minimums depend on software loaded.
Ignite-UX computes standard file system sizes and
automatically sets a minimum size for /var.
Other Devices Your system can also have any HP-supported device. If
you have an unsupported device connected to your
system, HP assumes no responsibility in making that
device function properly.
For an Ignite-UX
Server:
In addition, an Ignite-UX server requires the following:
• A Series 700/800 system running HP-UX 10.01 or later.
• An X11 display server (workstation, X-terminal, PC running an X
server, etc). This can be the same system as above.
• A separate graphics display may be required, if a Series 800
Ignite-UX server is being used. OR
• The display can be redirected to another X-windows system by
setting the DISPLAY environment variable.
