Hi Pradep,

can you verified the permissions for the below directories/files ?

/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11
/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL
/opt/ignite/data

all should have a read+execute permission

Thanks!!

Hi Pradep,

Need the following:
1) swlist -l product | grep -i ignite

2) ll /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11

3) more /etc/inetd.conf | grep tftp
(make sure /opt/ignite and /var/opt/ignite are mentioned under tftp in this file)

Shalom,

Check that the DHCP server built into Ignite is running (ps -ef grep boot) and has available IP addresses.

This looks like a simple network connectivity issue.

Are you getting to the stage where it has aquired an IP address from the server ?

If not, make sure the servers are in the same subnet.

Also check if you have added the bootable IP address in the instl_boottab file.



If it is able to obtain an IP address then it may be a firewall issue.

[Pradep]

Yes, it boots and get IP address..after that nothing happens. and choice comes to select image.

Hi


when you are prompted to choose an Image, what happens after that?

Installing IG-UX Installation utilities means you have made the sevrer capble of installing OS over network.

Have you a valid system image from where the server shall install another server.

you can see by creating a golden image on the ignite server and see by using that for install.

you can start from here.

Hi,

same error repeates again:

lan(0/0/8/0/0/4/0;0)/boot/Rel_B.11.00/WINSTALL: cannot open, or not executable
1. target OS is B.11.00
2. target OS is B.11.11
3. target OS is B.11.23 PA
4. Exit

[johnsonpk]

Is it possible to update you ignite software?

[Pradep]

I upgraded the Ignite server to latest version, but still remains the same.
It boots and gives options to select OS, after that samme error.

lan(0/0/8/0/0/4/0;0)/boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL: cannot open, or not executable

what to do now ?

[sujit kumar singh]
