Ignite C.6.6.93 client install hangs

[Peter Lachnitt]

Hello,
I made a update from Ignite C.6.3.x to C.6.6.93. Now a installation of a client is verry slow. Prior C.6.6.93 a client was in 1 hour installed (D370/1; 100MBit Lancard, same subnet) now its need's 10 hours. And on the Igniteserver some commands dont work properly if a installation is running, eg. top, ls, nslookup. Also in the syslog is the message: tftpd[3883]: sendfile: recv: Can't assign requested address
but the address of the client is in /etc/hosts and I can ping him and the install works but verry slow.
What can I do?

Regards Peter

Shalom Peter,

Normally with Ignite, this is the upgrade path:

1) copy any customization out of /var/opt/ignite INDEX files and such.
2) swremove the old copy
3) swinsall the new copy.

Not doing the swremove can cause problems for Ignite.

If tfptd is having trouble with the address then maybe another host has it in use and you need to change the dhcp configuration for Ignite.

Check the standard stuff like network duplexing with lanadmin -x command.

If duplex is wrong, you may need to change it.

Report back the results of these queries and I or otherw will try and help you.

Hi Peter,

Take a look at the IP address of the server in the client config file :
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0x00123456789/config.sys
Maybe the address is not the good one.

Hope this helps
