Re: ignite new rx4640 itanium server

There are 2 modifications which should be performed:

1. On ignite server - change /etc/bootptab:

servername:\
ht=ethernet:\
hn:\
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi:\
bs=48
ip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:\
sm=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:\
gw=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:\
ha=0xXXXXXXXXXXXXX

ip - ip of the client
sm - net mask
gw - gateway
ha - MAC address


Also check if instl_boots is enabled in /etc/inetd.conf:
# instl_bootd enabled for Ignite-UX (lan boot)
instl_boots dgram udp wait root /opt/ignite/lbin/instl_bootd instl_bootd

2. On client machnine:
- you MUST use only core LAN cards - lan0, lan1
Booting from external LAN's failed.

Enter into efi shell and create db profile for that boot - http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-0602/ch06s06.html

After that boot with:
#lanboot select -dn prifilename

and use lan0/lan1 adapter.
