ignite recovery for itanium based virtual partition

[Azaru]

Hi Everyone,

I have configured ignite unix in my site and added clients for ignite recovery. Taken the archive image for itanium based virtual partition. But now i tried to recover that vpar from ignite server by this command.

#vparboot -p -I

It asked me to select the lan to boot from it.
After i given my choice it throws error as follows

PXE-E16: Valid PXE offer not received

Please give me correct solution to recover it.

You need to configure the ignite server to assign the correct IP address to the NIC based on the MAC address.
You will have problems if there are other DHCP or PXE servers in the net other than your ignite server. See also /etc/bootptab

How about the -s ignite_server_name ( or is it -S )

e.g.

vparboot -p name -S ignite_server

(please double check the syntax of the vparboot command as there are some additional options required)

Found it from the vpar admin guide.

# vparboot -p -I ,/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.23/WINSTALL

Hi Nelson,

That is for PA-RISC based vpar. Actually i am trying it in itanum based vpar.

I have configured the DHCP still the problem not resolved.
