DHCP Server

[Alistair Black]

I am trying to re-pboot an old HP-UX system which has not been is use since last year. The re-boot sequence gets as far as checking network for DHCP server. The systems responds with the following message:

The DHCPClient was refused an extension for the system lease. The system must cease using DHCP for managment of the network interface.

How do you get passed this stage, or by pass this check in the re-boot sequence.

Boot into single-user mode and reconfigure network /etc/rc.config.d/netconf:

Single user mode is reached from the boot prompt.

boot ->(Y for interaction)

ISL> hpux -is

You can disable the DHCP client by editting :

1. /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0

Note: 1=enables 0=disables

2. /sbin/init.d/net stop

3. /sbin/init.d/net start

I guess you could try this by interupting the boot sequence and vi the file ?
