Itanium ignite client PXE error

[vinod_25]

Hi Techies,

I am facing a PXE error issue on a RX2620 itanium client when tried to ignite from the server.

When selected "EFI Boot Manager ver 1.10 [14.62]" => Boot Menu => Core LAN gb A

The client attempts to boot from the server, receives IP from DHCP server and throws the following error..

Booting over the network
Loading.: Core LAN Gb A

Client MAC Address: 00 18 FE 28 71 74 ...
Client IP Address: 20.5.68.161
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
BOOTP Server IP Address: 20.5.68.23
DHCP Server IP Address: 20.5.68.125
Proxy Server IP Address: 20.5.68.23

Retrieving File Size..
PXE-E23: Client received TFTP error from server.
PXE-E98: Code: 1h Filename not accepted
Load of Core LAN Gb A failed: Not Found
Press any key to continue

Verified TFTP service from another server by "get"ing a file from Ignite server and it worked...

Development@root# tftp 20.5.68.125
tftp> get /opt/ignite/README
Received 1203 bytes in 0.0 seconds

/etc/bootptab entry of this client is updated as follows...

Itaniumbox:\
tc=ignite-defaults:\
ha=0018FE287174:\
ip=20.5.68.161:\
sm=255.255.255.0:\
gw=20.5.68.1

Please help me if any of you have encountered similar issue before...

WoW,

I fixed myself after banging on EFI shell for a while...

Found BOOTP and PROXY IP are shown different during the IP acquiring phase of the client... Hence manually added a dbprofile in the EFI shell to make the LAN decide correct bootp entries...

Shell> fs0:

fs0:\> dbprofile -dn testprofile -sip 20.5.68.125 -cip 20.5.68.161 -gip 20.5.68.1 -m 255.255.255.0 -b "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"
Creating profile testprofile

fs0:\> lanboot select -dn testprofile

01 Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,100)/Pci(2|0)/Mac(0018FE287174)
02 Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,100)/Pci(2|1)/Mac(0018FE287175)
Select Desired LAN: 01
Selected Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,100)/Pci(2|0)/Mac(0018FE287174)

Hopefully helpful for someone...

Create a dbprofile from EFI shell for the specific lan
