Re: ignite boot from lan problem

Hi,

First thing to make sure is that the server_addr is in the same subnet as of the system you are booting. If not, then you will need to setup a boot helper in the subnet which will help boot your system initially and then point to the ignite server.

If that is not the case, then the ignite server is not setup correctly. You need to make sure you have enough free IPs configured in /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab. Instructions and examples are given in that file. You can also use ignite GUI to add them. I suggest you to use ignite GUI as it is easy.

Re: ignite boot from lan problem

1) Must use built in lan
2) Syntax is boot lan.192.168.0.50 install

On ignite server:

inetd -l to turn on enhanced logging

tail -f /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Re: ignite boot from lan problem

when you issue the command

bo lan install

is there a . (dot) between the word lan and the ip address ?

it should be something like

bo lan.192.168.2.101 install

combinin this with your other posting, about ENTRY_INIT Status=-7, if we are talking about the same server, your ignite server is having issues.
Please follow Stephen's suggestions about turning on logging on inetd, i.e., at the root prompt:

inetd -k
inetd -l

then provide the syslog output at the time when you requested the ignite for further assistance.

Re: ignite boot from lan problem

on the ignite server's syslog, what do you see when you issue the boot lan.a.b.c.d install command from the client.

do a tail -f /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log on the server in a different terminal session and capture what comes out when you attempt to boot from the ignite server.
