ERROR: Retrieving Ignite-UX version on the server: fully.qualied.domain

ERROR:   Retrieving Ignite-UX version on the server: fully.qualied.domain

FIX:

Add swacl for client and server:

client:

swacl -l root -M other:@ignite.server.fqdn:rt

Ignite server:

swacl -l root -M other:@client.hostname.fqdn:rt

ilo ssh -- Received disconnect from XXXX: 11: Client Disconnect

From an HPUX box, if you can't connect to an ilo / ilo2 and you get this: Received disconnect from XXXX: 11:  Client Disconnect

 

The fix is to either use putty or a linux host to ssh from, or use the following options:

 

ssh -o HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-rsa,ssh-dss -o KexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -o Ciphers=aes128-cbc,3des-cbc -o MACs=hmac-md5,hmac-sha1 ILO_IP

For a big NFS server:

ch_rc -a -p MAX_STATD_THREADS=1600 /etc/default/nfs

 

ERROR: Retrieving Ignite-UX version on the server

New IGNITE server install.  Make_net_recovery on client fails with this: ERROR:   Retrieving Ignite-UX version on the server

 

Fix by:

swacl -l host -M 'any_other:-r--t'

swacl -l root -M 'any_other:-r--t'

 

then run make_recovery again.

Google Now on Tap doesn't turn on

if Google Now on Tap (Android Marshmallow or better) doesn't turn on or turns on, but quickly turns off, then you probably have an account on google apps.  Your domain administrator needs to do the following (referenced from:  https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/websearch/hLazcAVC5MA/0kV53XllqFkJ)

open admin console (admin.google.com), then choose Apps, then Additional Google services. Then disable filter "Top featured services" near the top half of the page. This is important (!). When you turn filter off you will see a long list of google services, you have to find "Web history" and turn it on.
