Problems using dbprofiles on 11.23

likid0 — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:14:23 GMT

Hy, I have configured dbprofiles on my hpvm to boot from ignite because we have a windows dhcp server on the same subnet, this is what I did:

Client IP: 10.10.10.100/24
Gateway: 10.10.10.1
IP ignite: 192.168.100.10

Shell> dbprofile -dn test -sip 192.168.100.10 -cip 10.10.10.100 -gip 10.10.10.1 -m 255.255.255.0 -b "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"
Shell> lanboot select -dn test
Shell> dbprofile
Profile List

Profile Name: test
Network Type: IPv4
Server IP address: 192.168.100.10
Client IP address: 10.10.10.100
Gateway IP address: 10.10.10.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
Boot File: /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi
Optional Data:

the problem is when i boot it doesn't go to my ignite server, it keeps going to the dhcp windows server so I have to be doing something wrong:

Shell> lanboot -dn vm1
Select Desired LAN: 01
Selected Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|0)/Mac(EA947EB73CE2)

Running LoadFile()

CLIENT MAC ADDR: EA 94 7E B7 3C EE
CLIENT IP: 10.1.1.159 MASK: 255.255.252.0
DHCP IP: 10.1.1.83 PROXY IP: 10.1.1.2
GATEWAY IP: 10.1.1.4

TSize..
PXE-E23: Client received TFTP error from server.
PXE-E98: Code: 1h File not found
Exit status code: Invalid Parameter

It's not using the dbprofile info a configured, it goes directly to the windows dhcp server..

Any idea?

You are creating a profile "test" but using a profile "vm1"?
Do you have this profile too?

Sorry its a typo, i changed all the info when i was making the post, the real name of the dbprofile is vm1.

Sorry, for that.

Hard to suggest something because of all the changed values.

Some doesn't fit together at all, for example the MAC addresses during the boot.

Check all the settings again!

"PXE-E98: Code: 1h File not found" - Check this.

I noticed a missing line during boot too:

BOOTP Server IP Address: ...

forgot to add - watch the syslog of the ignite server. You will likely find more info there.

I redid the config again, but the same problem:

Shell> dbprofile
Profile List

Profile Name: prueba
Network Type: IPv4
Server IP address: 10.1.117.132
Client IP address: 10.1.117.253
Gateway IP address: 10.1.117.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
Boot File: /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi
Optional Data:

But it doesn't reach the ignite server it goes to the windows server directly, it still uses dhcp.., the mac is OK its a HPvirtual machine

Shell> lanboot select -dn prueba
01 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Mac(BE45BA690E98)
Select Desired LAN: 01
Selected Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Mac(BE45BA690E98)

Running LoadFile()

CLIENT MAC ADDR: BE 45 BA 69 0E 98
CLIENT IP: 10.1.115.204 MASK: 255.255.252.0
DHCP IP: 10.1.115.8 PROXY IP: 10.1.115.22
GATEWAY IP: 10.1.115.1

I don't get any output from the ignite server because i don't even reach it, instead of using the profile it keeps going to the dhcp server..

I get the same answer if a I use direct lan boot:

Shell> lanboot
Select Desired LAN: 01
Selected Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Mac(BE45BA690E98)

I found out in the release notes, that dbprofiles and virtual machines don't work well..

So I will make a boot from DVd..
