Network Installation error

[Rameshrajan]

hi,

I have setup an ignite server in an rx5670 IA machine which runs 11.23. I wanted to manage 11.11 PA version also to be managed by this server. Hence got all the packages from igntie download area and installed it. i created the depot software and confiuration files and INDEX filesw as mentioned. When i try to run an install of 11.23 from ignite server on RX8620 client the network install goes fine and installs the OS. When i try to run a network install of 11.11 on a PA machine it ocmes out with the below error. Client is rebooted with bootsys -wv -i "Rel B.11.11 default" and INSTALLFS and WININSTALL are copied. when the client reboots its unable to find the ignite server and needs manual interaction to get through the install. Can anyone help?


NOTE: Default (boot) source does not appear to be a valid (or complete)
install source, switching source to Network
ERROR: The install server's IP address is not set. See instl_adm(1M) on how
to set the default on the server.
Failed to startup networking, user interaction required

both the client and Ignite server are in the same network.

On the server:

instl_adm -d

display default networking

instl_adm -d > file

edit

instl_adm -f file

To make changes.

Note that an Ignite client can only boot off its built in NIC card, not an add in card. My preliminary analysis leads me to think this may be an issue.

this is the output of instl_adm -d

# instl_adm -d
# instl_adm defaults:
# NOTE: Manual additions between the lines containing "instl_adm defaults"
# and "end instl_adm defaults" will not be preserved.
server="10.182.67.52"
netmask[]="255.255.240.0"
route_gateway[0]="10.182.64.1"
route_destination[0]="default"
# end instl_adm defaults.

10.182.67.52 is the IP-address of the ignite server
