Ignite from secondary Lan

[Trevor McKenzie_1]

I have an L3000 server that has 2 nic's, 1x 10/100 + 1x 1Gb. The server is set up using the 10/100 as primary Lan. Using ignite I can configure clients on the 10/100 network, however I cannot configure clients on the Gb network.
I require the L3000 to carry out "make_network_recovery" from the Gb network. With the aim to store the images on the L3000 and then cut these images to an ignite tape/CD/DVD. I am not able to change the primary Lan as the server acts as a management server for ITO, NNM, DP for hosts on the 10/100 network.
I have tried altering the IP address in the "instl_adm -d" as per previous posts, but this has to do with booting a client server to the ignite server to start a network recovery.

There is no problem doing this.

The only thing you can not do is boot off the GB LAN.

Ignite requires the clients boot off the built in lan card.

You can boot of built in and carry the transfer out on the GB LAN.

instl_adm -d > file

Edit the file to set your speeds 1000BT Autonegotiate stuff like that.

instl_adm -f file

You are done.

So long as you boot the client off the built in, the rest of the transfer will take place at GB speeds on the GB Lan.

See man instl_adm for more details.

make_net_recovery only requires a valid NFS mount on the target server to work.


Do not change the primary LAN.

Please post your make_net_recvoery script and the /etc/exports file on the target server.

If you are having trouble, I can recommend changes and this should work for you.
