xtadm error

Stuart Powell — Fri, 26 Sep 2003 08:56:25 GMT

On a 712/100 workstation running HP-UX 11.11 I get the following message inside of xtadm when I attempt to test bootp operation I get the following message: "version of bootpd in /usr/lbin/bootpd does not seem to understand the ba tag will not do bootpquery" This workstation is intended to boot Entria and Envisex Xterminals.

#what /usr/lbin/bootpd
/usr/lbin/bootpd:

Any help would be appreciated.

at a guess it maybe down to the fact enware s/w is not mean't to be installed on 11.11.Last supported O/S = 11.00 .... not tried forcing the install just yet so I maybe wrong ? does the xterminals boot OK from this box ?

Does this work on an enware fileserver system @ 11.00 ?

The first thing I would do is to install all latest patches of bootpd/DHCP (cumulative). Check the patch database and see if you have anything to install from bootpd. I have seen these similar situations on 10.20 during installation of JetAdmin software and has been resolved after installing patches.

As pointed by Alex, I don't think Entria type Xterminals/Enware software is supported under 11.11. I know it will work under 11.0 though ...

Alex,

An Envizex xterm booted OK, but the Entria did not.
This is the log report from the failed boot:

do the missing files exist ? if yes I'd check the $BASEPATH setting or post remsh get config and post the outputs.

Alex,
Unfortunately the files exist. I'm afraid that this is a compatability problem, as you had mentioned earlier.

remsh get config ?

Alex,
I'll have to find an Envizex that is not in use and try to boot it from this server. May take 15 minutes or so.

appologies but see my comments on Monday .... if i get time.

Alex,
Well I issued "remsh xc1slt02 reboot" which is an Envizex and the terminal booted off the 11.11 server. This is on a remote site, so I'll have to get a pair of eyes down there and see what is going on. I'll post what I find out.

Thanks,

Stuart

Here is the configuration file from the Xterminal.

Well other than it's using a remote config file I see nothing unusual .... so it would appear your problem may just be with the xtadm utility .... is that a fair comment ?

If not can I also see remsh get log ......
