We took the ignite backup of client using the server ip 192.168.40.34 .
Now need to restore the client using client ip 192.168.40.54 .

Q. How to create the dbprofile ? What we need to mention with  -gip and -m ?

Thanks

The '-m' option when creating the direct boot profile (dbprofile) is for the subnet mask.  In your case it looks like it should be '255.255.255.0'.

Since both servers are on the same network segment, 192.168.40, you probably don't really need the gateway, specified by the '-gip' option.  You could try creating the dbprofile without the gateway IP and see what happens.

Hi ,

Please replace the ips..

command to create dbprofile:

#dbprofile -dn testprofile -sip 172.20.22.104 -cip 172.20.7.153 -gip 172.20.7.1 -m 255.255.255.0 -b "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"

===========

discription:                      

Ignite-UX server IP address (-sip) 192.1.2.1
Ignite client IP address (-cip) 192.1.1.20

Ignite client  server Gateway IP address (-gip) 192.1.1.1
Ignite client  server Network mask (-m) 255.255.255.0
Boot file name (-b) /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi

==============

Boot the server with using dbprofile

lanboot select -dn testprofile
