Obtaining Ignite-UX from the recovery commands depot
Getting Ignite-UX software from the recovery commands depot requires that you have already installed and set up an Ignite-UX server. To determine whether the recovery commands depot exists, type:
# swlist -l depot
Look for /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds in the list of available depots. If the recovery commands depot is not present, you can create it by running the pkg_rec_depot (1m) command:
# /opt/ignite/lbin/pkg_rec_depot
If you install additional Ignite-UX components onto an Ignite-UX server, you can force the recovery commands depot to be recreated:
# /opt/ignite/lbin/pkg_rec_depot -f
Any time you install a new version of Ignite-UX, the recovery_cmds depot is updated automatically.
Use the swlist (1m) command to verify the content of the recovery commands depot. In the following example, the command is being run on a system named brwisd02:
# swlist -d -s /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds |
# Initializing... | | |
# Contacting target "brwisd02"... | |
# | brwisd02:/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds |
# Target: |
# | | | |
# | | | |
# Bundle(s): | | |

The IUX-Recoverybundle is unique to the recovery commands depot and contains only the filesets required to run make_net_recovery on an Ignite-UX client. The bundle is small because it does not contain install kernels or install file systems. On clients that will run the make_net_recovery command, only the IUX-Recoverybundle needs to be installed.
The various Ignite-UX bundles contain the same software as the Ignite-UX bundles on OE media and the Web download versions of Ignite-UX. They contain the software needed to run the make_tape_recovery command (including OS-specific install kernels and install file systems) and consequently are much larger bundles.
If you add a system as a client of an Ignite-UX server and then run a make_net_recovery or make_tape_recovery command from the ignite (5) user interface, Ignite-UX will automatically install the correct software from the recovery commands depot. Ignite-UX only updates the software on the client when make_net_recovery (1M) or make_tape_recovery (1M) are invoked via the ignite
(5)command on the Ignite-UX server. If either of these commands is invoked from the client, Ignite- UX compares the client version to the server version and will generate one of the following error messages if they are different.
