Dhcp Probleme , got a Sxxxx workstation hostname

[Goujon_1]

Hi all
When i try to ignite a new workstation on my network with the bo lan command a dhcp server answers before my ignite server so my workstation dowloads with a Sxxxxx hostname instead of its real name (face0147)which i had defined on my ignite server in the /etc/bootptab and /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab.

My ignite version is B.5.4.50 and i can't upgrade this version.

On my ignite server the instl_adm command displays the following lines :

env_vars += "INST_ALLOW_WARNINGS=10"

env_vars += "USE_EXPERT_UI=true"

env_vars += "TZ=MET-1METDST"

run_ui=false

control_from_server=false

allow_disk_remap=true

hide_boot_disk=false

clean_all_disks=false

server="152.13.103.141"



In /etc/bootptab file i put the following information :

face0147:ba:bp=152.13.103.141:hn:vm=rfc1048:ht=ether:ha=00306E4910B6:gw=152.10.97.1:ip=152.10.100.57:sm=255.255.0.0

In /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab i put the following information :

152.10.100.57:0x00306E4910B6:20050419170058:reserve

I'm not sure what your question is, but from your statements I can conclude that you need to either disable the dhcp server or not use dhcp.

Instead of BO LAN do a SEA then BO Pn where n is the number (in the list) of the ignite server you want to boot from.

I can not disable a nt dhcp on the network i do not own .
When i do a search i only the disks , i do not see my ignite server.
For information i can use up to ten ignite servers on my network i don t think i can see them using the sea command i have never seen them.
To install my workstation i use the following command
bo lan.152.13.101.103 install
where 152.13.101.103 is my ignite server ip adress

Can you run bootpquery to test your configuration. Trouble is you have to be booted to run it.

/usr/sbin/bootpquery 00306E4910B6 ether -i 152.10.100.57 -s face0147

Hi
I have done a bootprequest with the workstation macadress and i discovered that no server replied , i had just forgotten to start the bootpd process in /etc/inetd.conf on my boot server.
Your bootprequest helped me to diagnose this problem thanks a lot...
