Not able to install through network / sea lan install. It's simply Hanging

[prasathc]

Hi ALL
I am facing a problem in INIGTE SERVER like, i have configured a ignite server[9000/826/E45]. Made all the config file and depots available.
i am able to do the installation from that IGNITE server by placing "INSTALL & INSTALLFS.Z" to client "/stand" dir.
[Note:- I am not able to ftp the "INSTALLFS" to client's "/stand" dir, so that i have compressed & i'll uncompress that file in that client dir]

ISL>hpux /stand/INSTALL ==> It's working fine
without any interrupt & error.

The only thing i am not able to give "sea lan install" or bootsys command.
[Note:- in that "sea lan install" the server name is listing, but when i try to boot from that server simply it's hanging more that 3 r 4hrs even a day also.]

More over boot server and the client are in the same subnet.

Procedure which i have tryed given below

bootsys -a -f -v -i "HP-UX B.11.11ALL_LOCALS" test40
nothing will happen, it's simply hangs. And also when i try from
1) sea lan install
2) bo 15.70.175.213 or bo p2 then itself it's hanging. So i thought that my be some network related issues, so i have changed a network cable as well as network port twice but still i am facing the same problem.

Can anybody help out in this issues.

Thanks in Advance

IIRC the syntax for the boot should be:

boot lan.15.70.175.213 install

Have you tried that?

I have tryed that also.
But no improvement.

are tftp and dhcp running on the Ignite server?

Have you checked the /etc/exports on the ignite server.

Is there anything in the servers syslog.log like rejected connection attempts?

Are there ANY logs!

How many lan interfaces on the client.. Can you get the IO infor from the BCH to determine which it's using?
