Since the Ignite-UX server now knows about your new OS archive,
you can use Ignite-UX to load the OS archive onto a target system.
To do this, you need to get the target system to inform Ignite-UX
that it is ready to install a new OS. There are two methods for
doing this.
Method 1:
If the system is currently running HP-UX 10.x or
higher — From the Ignite-UX server, use bootsys to reboot the target for which you wish to install the
new OS. The target system can be booted in a mode in which it can
be controlled by the Ignite-UX user interface.
/opt/ignite/bin/bootsys -w -v system_name
This will cause the target system to boot a copy of the Ignite-UX
kernel and file system that bootsys copies to the target. An icon representing the system
will appear in the Ignite-UX user interface on the server when the
system has completed boot. (This may take several minutes.) An icon
appears on the Ignite-UX UI when each client is booted.
If the server cannot resolve the system name, specify to bootsys the system_name and IP_address:
/opt/ignite/bin/bootsys -w -v system_name:IP_address
Method 2:
If the system does not have an OS — Manually
reboot the system. Interrupt the boot process and select the Ignite-UX
server as the lan boot source. This command will be slightly different
depending on your target system. As an example, to install to a
Model 712 workstation, enter the following from the boot admin mode:
boot lan.15.2.72.150 install
Older Series 700 workstations that use the RMP (rbootd) protocol instead
of BOOTP require that you use the hardware LAN address of the server,
and omit the install keyword:
boot lan.080009-123456
Replace the above IP/Ethernet addresses with the correct value
for your Ignite-UX server. When prompted with a message about interacting
with the IPL, respond NO
