EFI ignite boot

Hey guys!!

Ok!! I got the make_net_recovery worked out. Thanks!!!

Here's what I have: 2 blade servers, (bl870c's in a C class enclosure.) I've ignited server A to server B, and now want to run the ignite install to change filesystem sizes, (espcially /)

Soooooooooooooooo...I have to:

1. launch ignite from server B, and run throught the wizard to setup dhcp etc,

2. Boot server A from the lan

My question is, is there a quick easy guide to setup the EFI to boot from lan, and see the ignite server?

Curioulsy yours,

Ron

You should create a boot profile in the EFI shell.

shell> dbprofile -dn new1 -sip 10.100.100.49 -cip 10.100.100.11 -gip 10.100.100.1 -b /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi

where cip- client IP, SIP - Ignite server IP, gip - gateway IP and b - bootfile

If done you can direct user lanboot

shell> lanboot select -dn new1

hth,

Stephan
