Try

ISL> boot lan.n.n.n.n install
where: n.n.n.n is the IP address of the Ignite-UX server.

And, how is your /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab file?

[Prasanth Thomas]

have tried the boot lan.x.x.x.x.install but no luck...
Please find the below /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab details-------

This doesn't look like the same subnet - so you need a boot helper (see the ignite manual for more information).

Hi,

Go to Information menu:
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > IN
then after getting into information menu type: boot lan.server_IP_address install

and answer no to intraction with IPL.

Select the operating system to install from the displayed menu. Choose the operating system that matches the OE you used when you set up the Ignite-UX server â â Create the HP-UX OE.

I hope this will help you.

Thanks ...
