Looking for help to configure Linux pxe

Configure Linux Pxe to install Ignite for the new server which does not have OS installed.
Any help appreciated.

Shalom,

PXE can not work with Ignite.

As a matter of fact they can't even co-exist on the same subnet.

If the OS you wish to install is HP-UX you need to visit http://www.hp.com/go/IUX and start Ignite configuration which does not use PXE.

Otherwise set up a PXE server.

The current one which i am looking is to use the linux server to load the golden/HP image to the HP server instead of using the HP ignite server. I am receiving IP address from linux dhcpd server. Also the boot starts but it hangs in the following position

lan(0/0/0/0;0)/boot/Rel_B.11.23/WINSTALL

Main Menu: Enter command or menu > boot lan
Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?> n
