Hey,

Try this:

- Check that there is available IP address in /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab

- chmod 755 /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab

- Make sure that there is entry for tftp and instl_bootd in your /etc/inetd.conf

Dear Eric,
Can you find out other solution for me. the link you post is my question. (i am author)

[Eric Antunes]

Hi,

In my /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab I only have (besides lots of comment lines, started with #):

<::>

[Eric Antunes]

Hi,

I forgotted to refer that the IP in the etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab file must be a free and reserved IP, just used in this ignite recovery situations.

You should use a X Windows utility like Reflection because it can give you more clues about the issue.

One final question:

Are you recovering directly from the ignite server archive or did you put it to a tape before?

[Nguyen Anh Tien]

I used X manager for ignite in X window. Error is still happen:
ERROR: File: /opt/ignite/lib/libcfg.1 not found.

Please execute this on your ignite server and post the result:

Hi,

How is your Ignite client status (see this from Ignite server like in the picture in attach)?

Are you booting the Ignite client from the server??

Eric Antunes

[Eric Antunes]

Sorry, I missed the attachment...

[Nguyen Anh Tien]

Yes like your pic. It mean backup os is OK. but problem when install client from server GUI. Client can get IP (10.0.0.120) but error happend when client load fileNOTE: Retrying loadfile command...
ERROR: File: /opt/ignite/lib/libcfg.1 not found

[Eric Antunes]

Hi,

I noticed that your Ignite server /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab is different from mine. You have:

...
10.0.0.120:0x00306E2C8256:20050125080241:
10.0.0.121:::

And I have:

131.107.3.212:::

You subnet IP's all begin with 10.0 (subnet mask 255.255.0.0) or 10.0.0 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0)?

[Eric Antunes]

And are those 10.0.0.120 and 10.0.0.121 IP's available (not used)?

[Nguyen Anh Tien]

It is ok. There are no host use them/

[Eric Antunes]

Hi,

About the Ignite client and server, have they the same OS version? Check thread http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=186751 : you may have to install the Ignite for all HP-UX version...

Best Regards,

Eric Antunes

[Nguyen Anh Tien]

My server is PA_RISC.. anyone can help me ...SOS

[Eric Antunes]

Ok, you're on PA_RISC but you didn't answer to my question: are the Ignite server and client in the same OS version? Are they both on HP-UX 11.0??
