This chapter describes how to install a basic Ignite-UX server configuration for network booting and installing HP-UX on clients registered with the server. This chapter does not discuss support for anonymous clients. For information about how to set up anonymous clients, see Chapter 4.

See the Ignite-UX Quick Start Guide available at http://www.docs.hp.com if you are new to HP-UX.

For PA-RISC clients, a basic server setup will use the instl_bootd daemon to answer boot requests, will not use DHCP for initial system boot, and will register clients’ IP addresses and LAN addresses in /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab.

For Itanium-based clients, a basic server setup will use the bootpd daemon to answer boot requests, will not use DHCP for initial system boot, and will have clients’ IP addresses and LAN addresses registered in /etc/bootptab.

For more information on how systems get IP addresses for booting, see “Network Booting and IP Addresses”.

Setting up software depots is the same for PA-RISC and Itanium-based systems.
