# swremove –d B3929HB Base-VxFS-51 Base-VxTools-51 Base-VxVM-51 @ <destination

depot>

4. Create the configurat ion file f or t he HP-UX 11i v3 OE depot:

A. # cd /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31

B. # /opt/ignite/ bin/make_config \

-x allow_missing_content \

- s <depot_server>:<1131_OE_depot> \

- c <OE_config_filename>_cfg

C. Test the configuration file:

# /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm –T –f <OE_config_filename>_cfg

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• Note that the option “-x allow_missing_content” is needed as “Base-Vx FS-51” is now a “Required” bundle and

this procedure is replacing the “Required” VxFS bundle from the OE with a different version.

• When such a configuration is created, the following warning messages are displayed:

WARNING: Required content: "Base-Vx FS -51" of OE: "HPUX11i-VSE-OE" was not found in the depot.

WARNING: Recommended content: "B3929HB" of OE: "HPUX11i-VSE-OE" was not found in the depot.

NOTE: Optional content: "Base-VxTools-5 1" of OE: "HPUX11 i-VS E-OE" was not found in the depot.

NOTE: Optional content: "Base-VxVM-51" of OE: "HPUX11i-VSE-OE" was not found in the depot.

These are expected as we are intentionally changing the version of VxFS in the Ignite-UX depot.

• Create the configuration file for the Veritas depot that contains the 4.1, 5.0, or 5.0.1 software:

(Copy only one/same version of VxFS/VxVM into the depot. Do not use multiple versions VxFS/VxVM as such

depot can lead to unsupported configuration)

i. # cd /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31

ii. # /opt/ignite/bin/make_config \

- s <1131_Vx*41_50_501_depot> -c

<VX_config_filename>_cfg

iii. Test the configuration file:

# /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm –T –f

<VX_config_filename>_cfg

• Combine both configuration files into one Ignit e-UX INDEX configuration clause:

i. # vi / var/ opt/ ignite/INDEX

ii. Append a new configuration clause:

cfg “HP-UX B.11.31_Mar2014_OE-Vx41_50_501” {

description “B.11.31_Mar2014_OE-Vx41_50_501 – 2 depots”

“/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/config”

“/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/<OE_config_filename>_cfg"

“/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/<VX_config_filename>_cfg"

“/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/hw_patches_cfg”

“/var/opt/ignite/config.local"

}

iii. Test all the configuration files in the INDEX file:

# /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm –T

• If you plan to LAN boot the client, add its boot entry in the appropriate file on the server. This step is not

required if you plan to initiate the cold-install from the Ignite-UX server and the client is up.

A. For an Intel® Itanium®-based client:

i. # vi /etc/bootptab

ii. Upate the System-IPF entry with client_hostname and other relevant values.
