Moving to an earlier version of Ignite-UX

If you have installed a newer version of Ignite-UX and then wish to revert to a previous version of Ignite-UX, you should remove Ignite-UX completely from the system and install the version you wish to have. If the system being downgraded is the Ignite-UX server, removing Ignite-UX and installing it again will not remove any per-client information. Note, however, that if you have modified any files delivered by Ignite-UX, you will lose those changes when you install a different version. (Ignite-UX preserves install file system customizations when upgrading versions.)

Warning:

Ignite-UX allows backward compatibility of network recovery archives (network recovery archives created with an older version of Ignite-UX can be recovered with a newer version), but does not provide any guarantee that a network recovery archive created with a newer version of Ignite-UX can be recovered with an older version of Ignite-UX. Be very careful of this if you move to an earlier version of Ignite-UX.

Identifying the source depot for Ignite-UX software

You can determine the source depot used to install Ignite-UX by using the following command:

# swlist -a install_source -l bundle B5725AA

Remember, from Ignite-UX version C.7.0 and later, the IGNITE bundle replaces the B5725AA bundle. If you have one of the Ignite-UX-11-XXbundles installed instead of B5725AA or IGNITE, use that bundle name to find the installation source.

For example, if the installed software came from a recovery commands depot, you could use the above command to identify the Ignite-UX server. You could then determine if there is an updated version of the recovery commands depot on that Ignite-UX server.

If Ignite-UX was installed from CD/DVD-ROM media, it will only show the mount point where it was mounted; it will not identify the media in any way.

A change in the name of the full product bundle in version C.7.0 and later

As of Ignite-UX version C.7.0, the Ignite-UX complete product bundle that installs all supported versions of HP-UX has changed from B5725AA to IGNITE. When IGNITE is installed, B5725AA is automatically removed.

If you have scripts that reference the old bundle name, they must be updated to reference the new bundle name. The HP-UX version-specific bundles, such as Ignite-UX-11-23, will not change names.
