Quick Start Guide

Configure the System as an Ignite-UX Server
1. NFS export the directory /var/opt/ignite/clients so you can control the installation
process from the server and store configuration files and manifest information on the server.
On successful completion of the setup_server command, the message Program completed
successfully. will be displayed.
If you wish, you may safely complete this section before “Create the HP-UX OE Configuration
Information on the Ignite-UX Server” (page 12).
Procedure
# /opt/ignite/lbin/setup_server -n
2. Enable the bootpd daemon.
Procedure
a. Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file:
# vi /etc/inetd.conf
b. Remove the comment character (#) from the bootpd line:
bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/bootpd bootpd
c. Save the /etc/inetd.conf file and exit vi:
:wq
d. Make the inetd daemon reread the /etc/inetd.conf file:
# inetd -c

An overview of how network booting works is available in the section on making configuration decisions for
Ignite-UX servers in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide, and in the Ignite-UX Installation Booting white paper.
Both documents can be found at http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/infolib.html
NOTE: Your Ignite-UX server is now set up but is not enabled to install any systems. See
Chapter 2 (page 15) to add clients to an Ignite-UX server and then install HP-UX on them.
