missing dbprofile command in EFI Shell
Ignite admin guide references the use of this in order to set Ignite server IP address for lanboots in lieu of DHCP.
Curious if FW update is required, did not see any mention of it in the latest FW release notes.

Re: missing dbprofile command in EFI Shell
I found a note in the forums that the dbprofile command is only available on partitionable systems. The rx2620 is not partitionable.
The mention of this is at the beginning of the Direct boot profiles chapter.
"All partitionable Itanium-based systems......"

Re: missing dbprofile command in EFI Shell
help lanboot
Perform boot over LAN using a default server or a directed boot profile
LANBOOT [select] [-od "optional_data"] | [-dn name]
select : Select from a list of available LAN devices
-od : Pass optional command line arguments to the boot file
"optional_data" : Optional command line arguments to pass to the boot file
-dn : Specify the db-profile name to use for the LAN boot
name : The db-profile name to access
Note:
1. Use 'select' when no default LAN device is provided, so a list
of available LAN devices will be provided for user selection.
2. Use '-od' to specify optional data to be passed to the boot file.
3. Use '-dn' to specify a Direct Boot Profile (db-profile) to be used
to handle the LAN boot. Use the 'dbprofile' command to create and
manage db-profiles.

Re: missing dbprofile command in EFI Shell
It has also been extended to the zx2-based systems - eg the rx2660, rx3600, rx6600 and IIRC the BL860c.
If the Ignite admin guide is for a "current" version then it probably needs to have a defect filed against it via the Response Center to get it updated.

Re: missing dbprofile command in EFI Shell
The issue I ran into as well as some others was executing a lanboot and then some other DHCP server ( typically a windows server) answers the request faster than the Ignite server.
One other way around this and I use it for virtual machines is to boot an Ignite installer disk then select Ignite server recovery. Once the DHCP server gives me an IP and can change the information and then finish the boot/install from the Ignite server.
I believe the purpose of the direct boot profiles was to correct this "other" DHCP server issue.
Yes all the correct services must be running on the Ignite server in order to work.i.e. tftp and configured nfs.
