If you require a version of Ignite-UX that can be installed onto any supported version of HP-UX, please read the section about downloading Ignite-UX from the HP Software Depot website in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide, available at http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/infolib.html.

Procedure

Common Errors

Detection: The number of kbytes free on /opt is less than 2000000.

Diagnosis: Not enough space.

Correction: Extend the size of the logical volume with the lvextend command, and then extend the size of the file system within the logical volume with the extendfs command. Detailed instructions for this procedure are found in the HP-UX administration guides listed below, depending on your version of HP-UX.

For HP-UX 11i v3, see the HP-UX System Administrator's Guide (volume 3): Logical Volume Management. Within this guide, look for the chapter on administering LVM, and then the section on extending a file system.

For HP-UX 11i v2 and earlier versions, see Managing Systems and Workgroups. Within this guide, look for the chapter on managing disks and files, and then the section on extending the size of a file system within a logical volume.

Both administration guides are available at http://www.docs.hp.com.

Detection: The number of kbytes free on /var is less than 9 GB for a two-DVD OE set.

Diagnosis: Not enough space.

Correction: Extend the size of the logical volume with the lvextend command, and then the size of the file system within the logical volume with the extendfs command. Detailed instructions for this procedure are found in the HP-UX administration guides listed below, depending on your version of HP-UX.

For HP-UX 11i v3, see the HP-UX System Administrator's Guide (volume 3): Logical Volume Management. Within this guide, look for the chapter on administering LVM, and then the section on extending a file system.

Consider making room in /var/opt/ignite for recovery archives, golden images, and software depots. Estimate approximately 4 GB per recovery and golden image archive. See the section on Ignite-UX server requirements in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide at http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/infolib.html. For information on how to do this, see the HP-UX administration guides listed below, depending on your version of HP-UX.

For HP-UX 11i v3, see the HP-UX System Administrator's Guide (volume 3): Logical Volume Management. Within this guide, look for the chapter on administering LVM, and then the section on extending a file system.

For HP-UX 11i v2 and earlier versions, see Managing Systems and Workgroups. Within this guide, look for the chapter on managing disks and files, and then the section on extending the size of a file system within a logical volume.

Consider creating a new file system for /var/opt/ignite. This could keep Ignite-UX from impacting other applications using /var if it fills /var/opt/ignite with depots and archives. Detailed instructions for this procedure are found in the HP-UX administration guides listed below, depending on your version of HP-UX. If you do create a file system for /var/opt/ignite, then you will see it in the bdf listing and will be able to manage your disk space to a greater level of detail.

For HP-UX 11i v3, see the HP-UX System Administrator's Guide (volume 3): Logical Volume Management. Within this guide, look for the chapter on administering LVM, and then the section on creating a file system.

For HP-UX 11i v2 and earlier versions, see Managing Systems and Workgroups. Within this guide, look for the chapter on managing disks and files, and then the section on creating a file system.
