IPF ignite installation

Arunvijai.S — Wed, 26 May 2004 04:31:42 GMT

Hello all,

Can you please tell how to boot using lan for ignite installation in IPF machine. What i am looking for is a command similar to PA
(boot lan.172.16.1.174 install) in IPF shell prompt.

Thanks,
Arun

The Itanium machines have a similar command from the EFI shell called 'lanboot'. Also try 'help lanboot' from the prompt.

It does not work exactly the same as on PA, but give it a try. Your ignite server software must be fairly recent to recognize the request, coming over bootp or DHCP protocols.
