Ignite-UX: Install, Redeploy and Recover

An HP/Works Training Day - Tuesday 14 July 1998 - the University of Birmingham

Also including - 18 months to go - Are you ready for the year 2000?

HP/Works members, colleagues from member organisations and non-members are most welcome to attend. Please book early to secure your place.

The Ignite-UX tool, a new feature in HP-UX, is one of the most important developments available to the system administrator. From initial installation to disaster recovery Ignite-UX provides key functionality. If the worst happens a single machine can be back up and running in tens of minutes rather than hours, and for networks recovery of damaged systems is far quicker than with traditional restore techniques.

The provisional agenda is:

09.30 Registration 10:00 Welcome and Introduction

10:15 What Ignite-UX Can Do For You:

David Ledger, HP/Works Committee Member and a UNIX Consultant currently working at HP, will cover system administration techniques based around Ignite-UX. This presentation is based on the talk given by Rob Lucke, one of the Ignite-UX development team, at the recent InterWorks 98 conference. Rob added the code to perform some of Ignite's most useful features - and then got users to make HP support it!

11:30 How To Use Ignite-UX:

Sarah Plunkett of the HP Response Centre will give more details of Ignite's capabilities and how to use it. This will include technical details about configuration, and cautions.

13:00 Lunch

14:00 A Sceptics View of Ignite-UX:

As a mature professional in the UNIX workstation market, Steve Boniwell offers his views on whether Ignite-UX is a panacea to all users; or only primarily relevant to those who are administering large networks of systems.
