EFI ignite boot

Hey guys!!

 

Ok!!  I got the make_net_recovery worked out.  Thanks!!!

 

Here's what I have:  2 blade servers, (bl870c's in a C class enclosure.)  I've ignited server A to server B, and now want to run the ignite install to change filesystem sizes, (espcially /) 

 

Soooooooooooooooo...I have to:

 

1.  launch ignite from server B, and run throught the wizard to setup dhcp etc,

2.  Boot server A from the lan

 

My question is, is there a quick easy guide to setup the EFI to boot from lan, and see the ignite server?

 

Curioulsy yours,

 

Ron

Re: EFI ignite boot

You should create a boot profile in the EFI shell. 

 

shell> dbprofile -dn new1 -sip 10.100.100.49 -cip 10.100.100.11 -gip 10.100.100.1 -b /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi

 

where cip- client IP, SIP - Ignite server IP, gip - gateway IP and b - bootfile  

 

If done you can direct user lanboot 

 

shell> lanboot select -dn new1

 

hth,

Stephan
