Re: Mount cdrom on another server.

One last thing...

I was able to mount the cdrom on the client side thanks to all of you..

Is there any process I need to do so I can boot of the dvd on the client ?

or once is mounted I can just reboot the client and dvd should be available ?

Re: Mount cdrom on another server.

Again,


You can't boot from a remote CD drive, it has to be connected locally.


If you have an internal drive in your rx7620, it is owned by the first nPar and cannot be shared to the second.


The only way around this is to set up an ignite server on another system and boot the install kernel WINSTALL from there.

But in this case it would be easier to simply attach a DVD drive to the system.

Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Mount cdrom on another server.

You should describe again what you are going to do.

I understand you want to boot an Integrity machine from an ignite tape, but you have no DVD drive connected locally.

Can you confirm?

Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Mount cdrom on another server.

OK, now you can set up an Ignite server on a different machine and boot your system from there into the installation menu or simply connect a DVD drive locally.


Hope this helps!
