Problems in setting up helper system

[Hooi Siew Hoong]

I wanted LAN install over different subnet and follow exactly what is written in the documentation in setting up a helper system but it could not work.
I did these but fails
1) Install Ignite-UX-BOOT-KERNEL
2) instl_adm -t
3) added a IP into /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab
4) bo lan. install

I did a SEA and SEA LAN at the main menu but could not find any LAN module. Found nothing on the syslog on both server and helper. I also make sure that the gateway, netmask in INSTALLFS of the helper is correct.

Can anyone advise?

I mean to say i did
bo lan. install
on step 4)

I also tried installing Ignite-UX.MinimumRunTime but nothing works.

After you did the "bo lan. install" what happened? Did it fail to give you a prompt for "Interact?"

Also, I check with http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/onlinedocs.py?mpn=B2355-90677&service=hpux&path=../B2355-90677/00/00/81&title=Ignite-UX%20Administrator%20Guide and do not see a step 4 unless you are working with a 9.x machine.

Try the following steps in

/opt/ignite/share/doc/sysadm.txt and do a search on helper that will have the exact steps there

AFter making some changes, it is working now. I did these
1)#chmod 777 /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab
2)change all the ip in that file from 123.123.345.3 to 123.123.345.3:::
3)#/opt/ignite/lbin/instl_bootd -s

I wonder which change made it work but I have one question, how do I find out if instl_bootd is running or working? Thanks alot

cheers

About the servers, i have the 2 following lines in file /etc/services :
instl_boots 1067/udp # installation bootstrap protocol server
instl_bootc 1068/udp # installation bootstrap protocol client

and it is started at boot with inetd :
Oct 23 16:14:59 station inetd[798]: instl_boots/udp: Added service, server /opt/ignite/lbin/instl_bootd

About the search sequence, you have to type the entire line :
"sea lan install"
and not "sea lan"

hope it helps
