Booting from ignite server failed

[Augusto César]

Hi everybory,

I have two servers: the main server is an ignite server (9000/800/L1500-7x model) and a backup server (HP 9000 D271/1 model). This is my problem: I cannot boot the backup server by the ignite server. I tried this command when the Ignite-UX is running:

boot lan.10.14.0.2 install

Booting...
Cannot find ENTRY_TEST.

ENTRY_INIT
Status=-7

There are not OS in the backup server. The both servers are in the same lan. The ignite server has two net cards.

On ignite server:

# instl_adm -d
server="10.14.0.2"
netmask[]="255.255.0.0"
route_gateway[0]="10.14.0.1"
route_destination[0]="default"

# cat /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab

Important concepts:
You can only boot Ignite off the built in NIC card on HP-9000/Inegrity Servers.

On modern servers its on the Core I/O card, and its 1000 BaseT on the really new ones.

inetd -l
to fire up enhanced logging if its not already on.

On the ignite server:

tail -f /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Do a connect, see what the messaging looks like, it can give you good clues.
