Can't boot off of network
This is not my first time configuring, booting and restoring off the network using ignite.
I have 2 K420s hooked up back to back using a crossed ethernet cable.
Both are back to back using a crossed ethernet cable, where the Ignite server uses a 10/100 HSGC adapter set to 10HD-TX (using lanadmin) and the client is using it's only bootable 10HD ethernet card.
When connected both adapter leds are positive for a link.
The server adapter is set to 192.1.1.2 and the
/etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab has the entry
192.1.1.3:::
When issuing the "boot lan install" command I get the following error message in the server syslog file:
instl_bootd[3585]: Ignoring first boot request from client: 080009DAExxx, it needs to retry in order to determine which subnet it is on (first time start condition).
Any idea?

Re: Can't boot off of network
It sounds like it is trying to use the default gateway for communications.

Re: Can't boot off of network
Although I guess tjhe error stems from the fact that the ip address is not complete withouth the subnet mask.. on your ignite server, check the /etc/bootptab and or correct the instl_boottab to include subnet:
192.1.1.3:255.255.255.0::
I presume (ipconfig lan0 on iux svr)
Later,
Bill

Re: Can't boot off of network
Regarding the default route, it is setup to point to a different segment. However, routing definition states that if you have a NIC on the segment you want to get to then the default route is ignored and the NIC on that segment is used. So I doubt routing is not the issue.
In any case I have a similar setup with two D350's (using thier onboard 10-TX NICs) and do not have this issue.

Re: Can't boot off of network
I forced the Server NIC to 10HD (the syslog confirms this) and the onboard NIC on the client doesn't support autonegotiation since it's the standard 10HD-TX that comes with the box.
However you still might have something with the fact that there is no switch between them.
Maybe that will force synchronization for sure.
I'll have to give that a try.

Re: Can't boot off of network
Wound up using the standard bootpd, the Ignite boot_lif file and booting with > boot lan.
