new at 11i
original release
Ignite-UX (IUX) is an HP-UX administration toolset to help
you install and configure (or recover) HP-UX systems.
The complete Ignite-UX product, with support for HP-UX 11i,
11.0 and 10.20, is available on the first CD of the 11i OE media
kit.

|
 | NOTE: Ignite-UX will not be installed by default when updating
the entire operating system from 10.20 or 11.00 to 11i even
if the system currently is an Ignite-UX server. |

Updating your Ignite-UX server to 11i and Ignite -UX version
B.3.4 (or newer) will ensure that you have the latest version of make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery. The command make_net_recovery has added most of the command line options that used
to be only in make_recovery. The command make_tape_recovery is the replacement for make_recovery and allows you to control tape creation on a client system
from your Ignite-UX server. (For details on updating an Ignite-UX
server, see the HP-UX 11i Installation and Update Guide.)
If you are cold-installing a system, you can select Ignite-UX
from the software selection screen to be installed at the same time
the rest of the OS is installed.
By default, running Ignite-UX will install the core HP-UX
11i files, networking drivers, and the OE. You can deselect the
OE but you cannot install an OE subset using Ignite-UX. Also, some
of the networking drivers are not deselectable.

Although Ignite-UX, version B, no longer supports the installation
of 10.01 and 10.10 machines for 11i, it will continue to support
10.20 and later operating system revisions. However, version B will
only operate on HP-UX machines that have at least 64MB of RAM. (Previously,
HP-UX machines that had at least 32MB of RAM were supported. Version
A is not affected by these changes.)
Table 6-1 Ignite-UX 11i Version B vs Version A Support
| | Version B | Version A |
|---|
| IUX Revision Number | B.3.5 | A.3.5 |
| HP-UX Releases Supported | 10.20, 11.0 or higher | 10.01, 10.10 and 10.20 |
| HP-UX Releases Supporting IUX Servers & Systems | 11.0 or higher | 10.01, 10.10 and 10.20 |
| Minimum Memory Size for IUX Servers & Systems | 64MB | 32MB |
Since Ignite-UX server support for HP-UX B.10.01 and B.10.10
has been obsoleted, this functionality will be removed from your
system upon updating Ignite-UX to the 11i version. If you wish to
continue serving B.10.01 and B.10.10 clients, you should set up
a separate Ignite-UX server with version B.2.5.136.
Additional information regarding Ignite-UX is described earlier
under “Workstation Tuned Kernel Parameters”.
