registered client

A client system that has its MAC address registered with the server in order to always boot to the

 

same assigned IP address. For PA-RISC systems, the client’s MAC address is assigned to an IP

 

address in the /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab or /etc/bootptab file. For Itanium-based

 

systems, the default is to use the /etc/bootptab file. Contrast with anonymous client.

required

With 11i v3, software and network driver bundles that are required and always installed with

 

HP-UX. Software in this category cannot be deselected.

S

 

save_config

An Ignite-UX command that creates a hardware configuration file. It extracts disk and file system

 

information along with certain system and networking parameters for the current system, and

 

writes it to a configuration file. See save_config(1M).

script hook

Predefined mechanisms allowing user-defined scripts to run at specific points during the execution

 

of the installation. Within the Ignite-UX installation procedure there are various script hooks:

 

pre-config, pre-load, post-load, post-config, and final. See instl_adm(4) under “Command and

 

Script Execution Hooks.”

SCRIPTS

A configuration clause of commands in the LIF volume containing scripts that can be selected in

 

the itool under the Advanced tab.

SD-UX

See Software Distributor.

selectable

For 11i v1 and 11i v2, software bundles that are not installed by default with HP-UX. You must

 

select these bundles to install them. Ignite-UX is an example of a selectable software bundle.

server

A computer that provides software and services to clients.

server selection

The ability of a client system to request DHCP/bootp boot services from a specific boot server

 

and ignore all other boot offers. Client networking configuration information is supplied by the

 

boot server.

setup_server

An Ignite-UX command that performs administration tasks for an Ignite-UX server from a command

 

line interface. The same functionality is available with the Ignite-UX GUI. See setup_server(1M).

Software Depot

See depot.

Software

An HP-UX product that provides a set of tools for centralized HP-UX software management.

Distributor

Software Distributor (SD-UX) commands are included with the installation of the HP-UX operating

 

system. SD-UX commands typically use the prefix “sw”, such as in swinstall and swverify.

stand alone

In terms of Ignite-UX (as opposed to any other usage) a client system that is not network booted,

 

but may still use an Ignite-UX server for installation or recovery.

standard label

A tape containing ANSI standard labeling. Ignite-UX uses ansitape(1) to create a standard label

tape

tape.

subnet

A separate part of a larger network connected via network gateways.

SWAP

A use designation typically for an logical volume manager (LVM) logical volume or a VxVM

 

volume for paging. See swapon(1M).

SWAP+DUMP

A use designation typically for an logical volume manager (LVM) logical volume or a VxVM

 

volume that can be used for DUMP or SWAP.

SYSCMDS

A compressed tar archive of commands in the LIF volume or on an Ignite-UX server, required

 

for installation of PA-RISC systems.

SYSCMDSIA

A compressed tar archive of commands in the LIF volume or on an Ignite-UX server, required

 

for installation of Itanium-based systems.

system image

See image.

system recovery

The use of a recovery image to reestablish a system.

T

 

two-step media

A method of using the Ignite-UX tape recovery tool when a system or I/O interface does not

recovery

support firmware tape boot. The method involves step 1: booting from installation media such as

 

DVD or CD, and then step 2: recovering from tape.
