Ignite Unix for Superdome

[Gordon_3]

Hi all,

I am now using B 3.5.89 Ignite Unix server and client for our Ignite environment. Our superdomne and ignite server is on different lan segment and I have setup a ignite boot helper on another 23 segment as well. Somehow it fail to boot, any body know the reason? Is it support Superdome? Thx.

Bgds,
Gordon

Does the SD appear on the ignite servers client list. A common problem with superdome ignite installs is the change of the mac address depending on which cell is your partition core cell.

In either case you should see some activity on the ignite server from the booting client.

What does exportfs -av and cat /etc/exports contain?

I've been using ignite for about a year + half with superdomes.. so I guess your version supports the SD, once you installed the multi OS ignite bundle.

Later,
Bill

Hi Bill,

Thx for yr info. In fact our Superdome contains 2 domain. I have successfully created the Ignite image on BOTH domain, either interactively create it through GUI or from client side run make_net_recovery command. Both OK, only problem is cannot bootup...

Our Ignite server /etc/exports is

/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2
/home/sysadm/ignite/archives -anon=2

I have modified a little bit from the default ignite path.

Bgds,
Gordon

I've got the same error message here.

My Ignite server is on another cell of the superdome. I am using Ignite UX B.4.1.61.

When i try to search a install boot device ( SEA ALL install ) It find alls my disks, my tape drive, my DVD drive a Fiber channel adapter but any lan cards.
