boot image Boot content, including [W|V|I]INSTALL, [W|V|I]INSTALLFS, INSTCMDS or INSTCMDSIA,
and other content needed to support boot, formatted for a specific media type such as CD,
DVD, or tape.
bootsys An Ignite-UX command that allows you to reboot and install clients that are currently running
HP-UX. See bootsys(1M).
bundle A package of software available from Software Distributor. Bundles are distributed within depots
and contain products and filesets. Ignite-UX typically references software at the bundle level, as
opposed to product or product.fileset.
C
CD boot image A boot image formatted for a CD.
cfg clause See configuration clause.
check_net_recovery An Ignite-UX command that compares the files on a currently running system with a network
recovery archive created by make_net_recovery. A report is generated showing those files
that have been added, deleted, or changed since the recovery archive was created. See
check_net_recovery(1M).
check_tape_recovery
An Ignite-UX command that compares the files on a currently running system with a tape
recovery archive created by make_tape_recovery. A report is generated showing those files
that have been added, deleted, or changed since the recovery archive was created. See
check_tape_recovery(1M).
CINDEX
An INDEX file for individual clients, kept in the /var/opt/ignite/client directory on the
Ignite-UX server. Used to install recovery images made with make_net_recovery.
client A computer that uses an Ignite-UX server for installation, recovery services, or both.
cloning systems To replicate one computer’s software and configuration onto another. This can be accomplished
to varying degrees using make_sys_image and make_[tape|net]_recovery.
cold install Booting, loading HP-UX onto, and then starting a system. This process loads a new copy of
HP-UX onto a system.
command line
interface (CLI)
Text formatted commands and options entered at an HP-UX command line prompt or executed
by a script.
common
configuration
System software you want replicated onto other systems, such as: an operating system, patches,
and application software.
compressed file
A file made smaller with compression software such as gzip or compress without losing any
information. See gzip(1) and compress(1).

the default file system layout information. It includes default configuration information for the
operating system release, user-defined configuration information, and information regarding
archives and depots.
config file See configuration file.
configuration
clause
Defines a collection of related configuration files used to install or recover a system. You will find
configuration clauses in the /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file for installations, and in the
/var/opt/ignite/clients/MAC_address/CINDEX file for recoveries, on an Ignite-UX
server.
configuration file A file that contains information describing installation behavior, archive contents, or the contents
of a depot. Configuration files are referenced by the INDEX and CINDEX files. See instl_adm(4).
copy_boot_tape An Ignite-UX command that replicates a PA-RISC recovery tape made with make_tape_recovery.
See copy_boot_tape(1M).
crippled config See custom limited config.
custom
installation
An installation tailored to your specific requirements, including: kernel parameters, the running
of user-supplied scripts, host information, and networking information.
custom limited
config
A configuration file that informs Ignite there is no corresponding archive. Used with boot helper
media. Also called a crippled config.
