Hi,

Does your ignite server have a boot helper in the same subnet as your server?

HTH,

What model machine is the Ignite server? What network interface? Check the Ignite Release Notes, section 4.3 Networking Issues

There are a limited number of servers that allow network boot from either the built-in network interface or from a supported interface from the table. All other machines must use bootsys.

Arun,
Did you configured instl_bootd daemon and instlboottab file properly?
