4.Verify the syntax of the configuration files listed in the INDEX file.

# instl_adm -T

Fix any errors found by instl_adm and repeat the instl_adm -Tto verify any changes.

5.Ensure the NFS file system is exported correctly. In the sw_source clause above, we specified the location of the golden archive to be a file on an NFS server. You must ensure clients have access to this directory on the Ignite-UX server.

Ignite-UX automatically tries to export /var/opt/ignite/clients for its use. In our example, /var/opt/ignite/archives/Rel_B.11.11 must also be exported because that is where we placed the golden archive.

On HP-UX 11i v3 Ignite-UX servers:

•To view the current status, use the following command.

#share

•Edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file and add the following lines:

share -F nfs -o anon=2 /var/opt/ignite/clients

share -F nfs -o anon=2,ro /var/opt/ignite/archives/Rel_B.11.11

•Run the following command to share all the NFS file systems.

#shareall -F nfs

On HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2 Ignite-UX servers:

•To view the current status, use the following command.

#exportfs -v

•Edit the /etc/exports file and add the following lines:

/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2 /var/opt/ignite/archives/Rel_B.11.11 -ro,anon=2

•Run the following command to export all directories listed in /etc/exports.

#exportfs -av

See dfstab(4) or exportfs(4) for more information.

Enabling the Client

Since the Ignite-UX server is now configured with the new golden image, you can use Ignite-UX to install the golden image onto a client. To do this, you need to get the client to inform the Ignite-UX server that it is ready to install a new operating system. There are two methods for doing this.

•If the client is currently running HP-UX, boot the system from the server by entering

# bootsys -v-wclient_hostname

where client_hostname is the name of the client.

•If the client is not currently running HP-UX, boot the system from the client console. See “Booting Itanium-Based Clients using the Network” (page 100) or“Booting PA-RISC Clients from the Console ” (page 99), depending on the system type.

Installing the Golden Image on the Client

Once a golden image is created, you can install it just like any other Ignite-UX installation configuration. See “Installation Using the Ignite-UX GUI” (page 112). On the Basic tab, select the golden image configuration from Configurations:.

See Chapter 13: “Automating Installations” (page 171) for information on how to execute an installation with no interaction.
