[Himanshu_Sourav]

I am getting the same error while trying to install using golden image

 I checked tftp, and it was successful using a different system,

# tftp <server>
tftp> get /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi
Received 31353 bytes in 0.0 seconds

 I exported the directory using share command and got the following output to verify,

# share -F nfs -o ro /spare_disk2/himanshu/goldenimage/
# exportfs -v
share -F nfs
-               /var/opt/ignite/clients   anon=2   ""
-               /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/ghoul8native   sec=sys,anon=2,rw=<some other server>   ""
-               /spare_disk2/himanshu/goldenimage   ro   ""

still the error persists, kindly advise.

Assuming you use an integrity server, did you use a lanboot profile?

[Himanshu_Sourav]

I am a novice, would you be please kind and elaborate why you are suggesting lanboot, and how does it relate to this problem..? (yes I am on Integrity VM )

i did not use lanboot, but tried with bootsys command,

# bootsys -i "B.11.31 IA golden image" -f  "HIM-VM:15.213.230.10"
Primary boot path set to 0/0/1/0.0x0.0x0 (/dev/disk/disk1_p2)
        Rebooting HVM now.
        bootsys_prep return code = 0
#

after that the VM reboots and shows this error
