Why make depot fails with missing config clauses
Contents
Problem description
Running a similar make_depots command to build an Ignite-UX SD depot may failed with the following error:
# /opt/ignite/bin/make_depots -s /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 -d /var/optignite/depots/Rel_B.11.31/mcoe_core
.
.
.
*********EXECUTING: /opt/ignite/bin/manage_index -a -f /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_ B.11.31/core_cfg -c "HP-UX B.11.31 Default"
NOTE: Config clause "HP-UX B.11.31 Default"
not found in index file: /var/opt/ignite/INDEX.
ERROR: Couldn't accomplish the requested operation.
ERROR: The command "/opt/ignite/bin/manage_index -a -f /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/core_cfg -c "HP-UX B.11.31 Default"" failed.
The most common cause for missing config clauses in the /var/opt/ignite/INDEX is an incomplete Ignite-UX installation. These clause are added into the file when the Ignite-UX bundles required to support network booting are installed on the Ignite-UX server. This frequently occur on system were only the "IUX-Recovery bundle" is installed.
A typical config clause in /var/opt/ignite/INDEX looks like:
# cat /var/opt/ignite/INDEX
.
.
.
}
cfg "HP-UX B.11.31 Default" {
description "This selection supplies the default system configuration that HP supplies for the B.11.31 release."
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/config"
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/hw_patches_cfg"
"/var/opt/ignite/config.local"
}
.
.
.
Identify the installed Ignite-UX bundles
Use the swlist -l bundle command | grep -i ignite command.
IUX-Recovery
# swlist -l bundle | grep -i ignite IUX-Recovery C.7.7.98 Ignite-UX network recovery tool subset Ignite-UX-11-31 C.7.7.98 HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.31 Systems
Ignite-UX
# swlist | grep -i ignite IGNITE C.7.7.98 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX) Ignite-UX-11-31 C.7.7.98 HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.31 Systems
In the previous outputs note that the bundle IGNITE - HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX) must be installed instead of the IUX-Recovery - Ignite-UX network recovery tool subset.
Solution
Install the required Ignite-UX components.
