# lanboot select -sip 192.168.1.50 -cip 192.168.1.30 -gip 192.168.1.1 -m 255.255.255.0 -b "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"
but my question is Whats the procedure to restore the ignite backup on client server ?
and also i configured APA on client servers and when i check the /var/opt/ignite/clients directory on ignite server i see MAC address for lan not used

Solution
From the output, I suppose the "test006" is client that you wish to recover from backup.
The mac address 0x3C4A92C4CADB matches to lan2 in client which is DOWN state.
If you want recover the client from ignite-ux server, use any one of the below methods:
Method 1:
1. Bring the lan2 to UP state in client
2. Follow the same procedure as you do for fresh OS install.
Recovering the Client from Ignite Server:
- If the client is down, use the "lanboot select" from the EFI.
- If the client system is in up state, then you can use the bootsys command to recover the client. Alternatively you the Ignite GUI/TUI to recover the client. Select the client, Go to Actions Menu --> Recover the client
Method 2:
Alternatively, if you wish to you other LAN cards, such as lan0 (0x3C4A92C4CADA) then you would need do the following on ignite-ux server.
On the Ignite-UX server,
# cd /var/opt/ignite/clients/
# mv 0x3C4A92C4CADB 0x3C4A92C4CADA (Rename the directory to desired Mac address)
Make sure the client hostname linked to the new mac address dir.
test006 -> 0x3C4A92C4CADA
Recovering the Client from Ignite Server:
- If the client system is in up state, then you can use the bootsys command to recover the client.Alternatively you the Ignite GUI/TUI to recover the client.. Select the client, Go to Actions Menu --> Recover the client
- If the client is down, use the "lanboot select" from the EFI.
Hope this information helps...

Re: Restore the ignite backup
Hi,
Thanks for your support, but i have some questions.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Method 2:
Alternatively, if you wish to you other LAN cards, such as lan0 (0x3C4A92C4CADA) then you would need do the following on ignite-ux server.
On the Ignite-UX server,
# cd /var/opt/ignite/clients/
# rm 0x3C4A92C4CADB 0x3C4A92C4CADA (Rename the directory to desired Mac address)
===> i think you mean # mv 0x3C4A92C4CADB 0x3C4A92C4CADA not rm.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
- If the client system is in up state, then you can use the bootsys command to recover the client.
==> can you give me more details how to use this command ?, and Where can I run this command ? on ignite server or on client.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
- Alternatively you the Ignite GUI/TUI to recover the client.. Select the client, Go to Actions Menu --> Recover the client
here from ignite server by using GUI What is the action required to restore image on client server.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

- If the client is down, use the "lanboot select" from the EFI.
====> do you mean like this command
# lanboot select -sip 192.168.1.50 -cip 192.168.1.30 -gip 192.168.1.1 -m 255.255.255.0 -b "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"

Re: Restore the ignite backup
===> i think you mean # mv 0x3C4A92C4CADB 0x3C4A92C4CADA not rm.
Sorry it was typo. Its "mv" command.
==> can you give me more details how to use this command ?, and Where can I run this command ? on ignite server or on client.
You can run this command from either from Ignite-UX serve or client.
From Ignite-UX server, run the below commands
/opt/ignite/bin/bootsys -wv <client name>
To automatically install client1 specifying the configuration for it to use:
# bootsys -a -i 'HP-UX B.11.23 Default' client1
From the Ignite-UX client, use the below command:
/opt/ignite/bin/bootsys -C <ignite-UX Server> -w
For more details and sample commands, refer the "bootsys" man page.
===> here from ignite server by using GUI What is the action required to restore image on client server.
From "Actions" menu --> choose "Boot Client"
Please note that the above command would transfer the network boot programs needed for network boot and reboot the client.
====> do you mean like this command
# lanboot select -sip 192.168.1.50 -cip 192.168.1.30 -gip 192.168.1.1 -m 255.255.255.0 -b "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"
Yes you can use the "lanboot select" command. I would use use "dbprofile" with "lanboot" command to boot the client.
For more details on dbprofile, refer the "Managing Direct Boot Profile (dbprofile)" in the Configuration guide in HP Ignite-UX Guided troubleshooting.
