TIP: You can execute the Ignite-UX GUI from a different system as if you were on the Ignite-UX server by using the following commands:

On your host system, allow the Ignite-UX server to access your display by adding the Ignite-UX server hostname to your xhost list:

xhost +Ignite-UX_server_hostname

This command is intended for Unix or Unix-like systems running an X11 based display manager. If you need to enable remote access to the X server on a PC based X11 server emulator (or using some other method of displaying X Windows) see the product documentation for information on the equivalent functionality to the xhost command.

Set the DISPLAY variable to your local host system, if necessary. For example: export DISPLAY=your_host_system:0

where your_host_system is the host name of your system.

1.On the Ignite-UX server, as superuser enter

/opt/ignite/bin/ignite

2.Select Add New Client for Recovery from the Actions menu. Figure 92 Add New Client For Recovery dialog box

3.In the Hostname box, enter the name of the client for which you want to create a golden image.

4.Select how you want to communicate (ssh or remsh) with the client, and then click OK. Use the default, ssh, for secure encrypted communications, or non-encrypted remsh.

5.If you choose ssh, you are prompted if you want to use this communication method for all subsequent golden image creation, as well as any installation sessions that are run from the Ignite-UX server. Click Yes to set ssh as the default client communication, or No if you only want to use ssh for this golden image session.

The Ignite-UX server then attempts to contact the client to begin the golden image initialization process and create a directory to contain the client’s archive. If the access to the client is denied, as in the figure below, you are prompted to provide the root password.
