Match Ignite server version on network clients

The Ignite server requires that all the clients have the same version of Ignite tools installed. Rather than installing a complete package on each client, clients can install the server’s version with this command:

/opt/ignite/lbin/update_tools -s SERVER_NAME -d /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds

where SERVER_NAME is the IP address or the server hostname. This takes less than a minute and will match the client’s version with the server’s version of the Ignite utilities. If the utilities do not need to be updated, you’ll see the message:

* Ignite-UX recovery tools are up-to-date, no action required.

There is another way to handle this automatically: add the -u option to make_net_recovery. Note that this is only for updating to a newer version from the server. Neither method will backdate the client’s version. If the server does not have the recovery tools installed, they can be added to the server with the command:

/opt/ignite/lbin/pkg_rec_depot
