Ignite recovery failing with tftp error

[Eric Herr]

Trying to boot from the lan to an ignite server to recover an rx2600 client. Getting the following error:

Loading.: LAN BOOT MAC 001321EAE52E
Running LoadFile()

CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 13 21 EA E5 2E
CLIENT IP: 10.81.1.93 MASK: 255.255.0.0 DHCP IP: 10.81.1.72

TFTP failed due to - 0x8000000000000017

Here is the entry in my bootptab file:

gobhup12:\
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi:\
hn:\
ht=ethernet:\
ha=001321EAE52E:\
ip=10.81.1.93:\
sm=255.255.0.0:\
gw=10.81.1.1

Any suggestion as is greatly appreciated.

Seems your /etc/bootptab is OK.

1.Check once more settings in
/etc/inetd.conf about bootp and tftp.

2.Check the right location and the size of nbp.efi file/ for 11.23 /!!!

size: 24576

Put this file either in:
/var/opt/ignite/depots/nbp.efi
or in:
/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi

Try these 2 variants using 2 appropriated
records in bootptab: "bf=..."

And dont forget to restart inetd each
time when /etc/bootptab has been changed.

3.If the above not works:
May be you have a lan-problem.
Try to connect server and client
directly using cross-over cable, change the IP-adresses and try again.
