hp-ux 11.31 tftp error while installing.

[paabhi]

Hi Team,

We were trying to install a new BL860 from ignite server.The server boot from ignite server and we have given the IP details.After that we are getting the error,

* Bringing up Network (lan3)
add net default: gateway 172.22.130.1
* Reading configuration information from server...

* tftp error log follows:
tftp> tftp> tftp> tftp> tftp> Error code 2: Access violation
tftp>
...

Failed to read "INDEX" file from install server. Check that the
install server's IP address is correct and the server has the
"Ignite-UX" product loaded and is available via the tftp(1)
service.

Press any key to return to the network configuration menu:


When I checked the tftp functioning, it was giving this way,

$ tftp ngmhv439
tftp> get /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi /tmp/nbp.efi
Transfer timed out.

tftp>

The entry in /etc/inetd.conf is proper.And we have done inetd through inetd -c.
While doing a tftp , no tftp service is showing in ps o/p of ignite server.

Hi,

I think tftp is odd to use and if it is not correctly configured you'll get troubles.
Plese post the line of tftp ftom /etc/inetd.conf on Ignite-UX server (tftp should be configured there to work well).
I suppose ngmhv439 is the name of your Ignite-UX server.

Best regards,
Fabio

Hi Abhilash,

Please check tftp from locally.Most probably your network firewall could be the culprit.

one more thing ...

It there any network securities like inetd.sec/wrappers/filters configured in your ignite server ?

Hi ,

Please find the o/p from /etc/inetd.conf.

# information about setting up this service.

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd\
/opt/ignite\
/var/opt/ignite

I have restarted inetd many times thru inetd -c.
The server ngmhv439 is ignite server.I have tried the tftp locally as follows.

$ tftp ngmhv439
tftp> get /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi /tmp/nbp.efi
Received 24809 bytes in 0.0 seconds
tftp>

Please correct if I am wrong.

Hi ,

The inetd and services settings are correct.

# cat /etc/services |egrep "tftp|instl_boots|instl_bootc|bootps|bootpc"
bootps 67/udp # Bootstrap Protocol Server
bootpc 68/udp # Bootstrap Protocol Client
tftp 69/udp # Trivial File Transfer Protocol
instl_boots 1067/udp # installation bootstrap protocol server
instl_bootc 1068/udp # installation bootstrap protocol client


tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd\
bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/bootpd bootpd -d 2
instl_boots dgram udp wait root /opt/ignite/lbin/instl_bootd instl_bootd



tftp entry is having entry for ignite also
