booting a client from Ignite-UX server

[Nisar Ahmad]

Hi There

I have a Ignite-UX server set C.6.1.44. The net recovery worked fine but when I tried to boot from it it has following error:

* Querying disk device: 10/8.6.5 ...
NOTE: Default (boot) source does not appear to be a valid (or complete)
install source, switching source to Network
* Bringing up Network (lan0)
add net default: gateway 10.30.32.1
* Reading configuration information from server...


* tftp error log follows:
tftp> tftp> tftp> tftp> tftp> Transfer timed out.

* tftp error log follows:

Looks like maybe tftp is not setup on your Ignite server. Ignite uses that protocol for the first file transfer for the boot kernel, then boots to it.

Check /etc/inetd.conf for the 'tftp' stanza. See if it is commented out or '/var/opt/ignite' is not specified.

This also won't work across 2 different subnets.

Hi

tftp is set up and subnet is the same.
