Ignite Server

[Joe J_1]

When I create the network recovery archive for a V client, the following message is display:

"client" is not network bootable. See the man page for make_boot_tape for information on the archive you create.

Why aren't V servers network bootable and what is the fix for this?

Thanks

Hi,

We had V2200 server and it is written in an HP document that V class servers cannot boot thro network. It didnt use to boot from tape drives also but later on HP solved the problem by releasing a new firmware. I dont know whether a new firmware has been released for network booting. Check out with HP.

Hi pls go thro this document

Hello,

you can find to /opt/ignite/share/doc/release_note informations about network bootable servers. This information is this one :
4.3 Networking Issues
======================

* Ignite-UX HP network interface support matrix.

The only interfaces supported for doing a network boot from a
server are the built-in ethernet (10-Base-T, and 100-Base-T)
on all S700's and the A, D, K, N, and R-class S800's. All other
interfaces that are supported can only be used when the system
is booted using the "bootsys" command, or booted from an
Ignite-UX tape or CD-ROM (see bootsys(1m) and make_boot_tape(1M)).
