Igniting a client - gives tftp error

[Ganesh Balraman]

Hi all,

We had created Golden Image and trying to ignite a client.

1.But it gives the following error.

* Checking configuration for consistency...
ERROR: Failed to load config file: "/image/core11.cfg" from server.
ERROR: Failed to load config files from server or media.
ERROR: net_cfg_prep: Problems were encountered while parsing the
configuration files. See the messages above for details. Using
instl_adm with the -T and/or -D options on the server may help isolate
the problem. (See instl_adm(1M) and instl_adm(4) man pages.)
Cannot continue due to above config file problem.
Press Return to continue:it gives the following erroe.

2.And the output of index file is:below.

cfg "HP-UX B.11.23 Default" {
description "This selection supplies the default system configuration th
at HP supplies for the B.11.23 release."
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/config"
"/image/core11.cfg"
"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/hw_patches_cfg"
"/var/opt/ignite/config.local"
}
And
3.instl_adm gives no errors.

Hi,

Check the following

1) are your ignite client and server in the same subnet / vlan
2) What is the speed of your network ports (fixed / autonegotiating)

[Wim Rombauts]

Is your client allowed tftp access to the server (check /var/adm/inetd.sec)
Do the specified files that cannot be accessed by the client hav read permission for others ? As I remember, this is a frequent issue I encounter myself : Ignite creates new client configurations without read permission for others.
