4.Disable TFTP on the Ignite-UX server (optional).

Unless you need to initiate installations via network boot, you may now disable TFTP on the Ignite-UX server. You may remove or comment out the "tftp" entry from /etc/inetd.conf.

If the system to be installed is running any version of HP-UX, booting from the network can be avoided by using the bootsys command or by booting from media and switching to the Ignite-UX server.

In the boot-from-media case, it will be necessary to either specify the _hp_loadfile_use_nfs keyword on the boot loader command line or create custom media with that keyword built into it.

For PA-RISC systems, interrupt the autoboot sequence at the prompt

Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?> y

and enter the following (substitute 11.31 for 11.23 depending on the release).

ISL> hpux -i_hp_loadfile_use_nfs=\"true\" Rel_B.11.23/WINSTALL

For Integrity systems, interrupt the autoboot sequence at the prompt

Press Any Key to interrupt Autoboot

and enter the following (substitute 11.31 for 11.23 depending on the release).

HPUX> boot Rel_B.11.23/IINSTALL -i_hp_loadfile_use_nfs=\"true\"

If you do need to preserve the ability to perform network boot, but otherwise wish to take advantage of the NFS loadfile functionality, you may remove the /var/opt/ignite directory from the "tftp" entry in /etc/inetd.conf, leaving only /opt/ignite.

When Ignite-UX is installed, it automatically enables the TFTP daemon. If you reinstall Ignite-UX, you will need to reapply these changes.

For information on booting from media and then switching to an Ignite-UX server over the network, see “Alternate boot with network server installation” (page 27). For information about changing configuration content in the install file system, see instl_adm(1M) and instl_adm(4).

5.Verify that the configuration works.

Perform an installation, and watch the console output or the install.log file for the “Ignite-UX will use NFS for loadfile.” message:
