Ignite-UX enables you to install client systems from the Ignite-UX GUI, as explained in this chapter, or automatically, as explained in Chapter 13. You can also install clients from a remote system by using bootsys, or install the client locally using an operating system obtained from an Ignite-UX server, as explained in Chapter 9.

Each installation method requires a configuration (config) file, as explained in Chapter 12. The configuration can include any supported HP-UX 11i operating system, plus any required patches and applications.

This chapter describes installing from the Ignite-UX server, either using the Ignite-UX GUI or remotely using the bootsys command.

Begin your installation process with “Preparing the Client for Installation ”.

CAUTION: Any data on the client disks that are used for installation, including the operating system, are removed entirely as part of this installation process.
IMPORTANT: During HP-UX 11i v3 installation and recovery, connected Active/Passive devices will cause long delays (one hour or more) or may cause a system to hang. Similarly, connecting an Active/Passive device before installing the Active/Passive Switch (APSW) plug-in can cause some commands to take a long time. Disconnect any Active/Passive devices connected to your system before installing or recovering HP-UX 11i v3. After installation or recovery, it is important that the APSW plug-in be installed before connecting an Active/Passive device to the system.
