how to install 11.31 from lan?

[Rangaraaj Rajagopalan]

Hi,

I am new to HP UX, want to install the 11.31 OS from lan. When I boot from lan I get following error:


Searching for devices
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet (BCM5701) is detected (PCI)
HP 1Port 4Gb Fibre Channel Adapter (driver 1.05, firmware 4.00.070)

Booting over the network
Loading.: Core LAN Gb B

Client MAC Address: 00 17 A4 51 7E 7D .....|
PXE-E16: Valid PXE offer not received.


Starting: Core LAN Gb B
Start of Core LAN Gb B failed: Invalid Parameter
Press any key to continue


What is missing here?

hi

on the ignite server
you can see by editing the file
/etc/bootptab

copy the last few lines to a new set and put in
ha=
ip=
sn=


for example

This is the entry in /etc/bootptab on the VMHost/Ignite Server
vmguest:\ #client hostname
ht=ethernet:\
hn:\
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi:\
bs=48:\
tc=ignite-defaults:\
ha=6e3cc920dfc7:\ #hardware address of client
ip=172.17.1.20:\ #ip of client
sm=255.255.0.0:\ #subnet mask of client
gw=172.17.1.210:\ #gateway of client
#ds=172.17.1.22:\
dn=.co.uk #domain of client ( if any)

then try booting the client using the LAN Card Whose MAC Address you have gien here.

Shalom,

Note if the boot is across multiple subnets, you may need to build an Ignite boot helper.
