Wokstation hangs after "Boot Client" - TFTP timeout

Re: Wokstation hangs after "Boot Client" - TFTP timeout

Srini_2007,

when I manually enter the information, the client boots. But that's not an acceptable workaround. Especially not, as we used to be able to automatically install clients without going to the workstations.

When everything was working, we used a different server hardware and an older IUX release.

IUX server is on a different subnet (it now is and it always used to be).

Once more: How do I see, if the client is using a boothelper, and if it is, what boothelper the client is using? Is this possible?

Thanks,
Alexander

Re: Wokstation hangs after "Boot Client" - TFTP timeout

Solution: When I initially started, I (somehow) had a wrong IP adress of the install_tftp_server set. This was shown by running "instl_adm -d". I noticed this, and corrected this by doing "instl_adm -t $correct_ip".

BUT: When I initially booted the client from the IUX GUI, I had the wrong IP set. To rectify this, I had to boot the client into the real OS (11.00) and went to the IUX GUI and did Actions -> Boot Client once more. After I did this, the client booted and I could install it from the IUX GUI.

So, what I had to do, was to boot once again into OS.
