VM Guests Installation

Ignite_2 — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 11:39:15 GMT

Dear experts,

currently I'm setting up VM Guests on BL870c. VM host was installed successfully. It has 3 lan interfaces, which are shared with Guests.

For VM Guests I use Golden image located on Ignite server in same subnet. Two guests are already installed, they use same image, same vswitch, same CPU,... Third guest was created with same configuration, but there is a problem to load image. Lanboot process exits with a following message:

Retrieving File Size
PXE-E18: Timeout. Server did not respond.
Exit status code: Invalid Parameter

It's strange, because this guest uses same vswitches as others, so I don't understand why Ignite didn't respond. Is there some parameter which specifies how many VMs can be installed on host system? I've created dbprofile several times to avoid mistyping, but can surely say, that data in dbprofile are correct.

Any help will be really appreciated...

I personally have never seen this, but I did a little searching and found a couple threads where folks had this problem.
The following thread seemed to have the most success.
Hope it helps you.

How do you give ip address to client? From dhcp server or bootpd server? Did you check their config?

Hi,

I've specified everything (server ip, client ip, ...) in dbprofile. I did it exactly same as for first two systems, where it worked.
