Hi,

Ignite version
Ignite-UX-11-31 C.7.1.93

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

Most common problem with tftp servers on HP-UX is the ownership of the root directory of the server. It needs to be the tftp user from /etc/passwd

Thanks SEP
How do i resolve this.

[yash123]

Dear Experts,

Please help to resolve this.

Hi yash,


Keep the Ignite Server up and running and try testing the tftp on the server from any UP client by command

#tftp
tftp> get /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi

if you are able to get that file vua tftp then ignite server is fine with the tftpp request , else on the Ignite server check /etc/inetd.conf for the tftp and if hashed unhash that.
and give #inetd -c

Also from a client try doing a bootpquery to the ignite server.
from a client do
#bootpquery -s

see that this is successful.


in the /etc/inetd.conf make sure that the following services are through
tftp
bootps
instl_boots

in /etc/services these ports are open and accessible on the server(ignite)
/etc/services


tftp 69/UDP
instl_boots 1067/UDP
intsl_bootc 1068/UDP
bootps 67/UDP
bootpc 68/UDP




Very Important:

Check with the NEtwork Admin that the above ports are not blocked on the network.

Hi Sujit,

tftp> get /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi
tftp>

/etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services entries are correct.
Presently No OS in this client machine so I cant make bootpquery.
From another client bootpquery request to same ignite server is
bootpquery: Unknown server 192.168.1.100

Thanks & Regards
Yash

tftp>get /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi

successufully received nbp.efi

[sujit kumar singh]

Hi,
thats Ok if you can tftp get the files from the ignite server by making tftp requests from som cleint.

"/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/config", -- what does the line 147 contain ? "G" illegal character!!!
please check that out also.

Please also post the latest errors after making the above changes.

sujit

[sujit kumar singh]

Hi yash,

what does the line in the script as mentioned earlier ERROR: "/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/config", line 147: Illegal character:
"G"
say.

Please tell and i shall suggest that you do the followings oon the Ignites server.

1)#inetd -c
2)check the NFS export settings on the Ignite server /etc/dfs/dfstab and unexport and re-export the Shares and then try the install on the client over network.
please post the latest O/Ps

 I checked tftp, and it was successful using a different system,

# tftp <server>
tftp> get /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi
Received 31353 bytes in 0.0 seconds

 I exported the directory using share command and got the following output to verify,

# share -F nfs -o ro /spare_disk2/himanshu/goldenimage/
# exportfs -v
share -F nfs
-               /var/opt/ignite/clients   anon=2   ""

-               /spare_disk2/himanshu/goldenimage   ro   ""

still the error persists, kindly advise.

Assuming you use an integrity server, did you use a lanboot profile?

[Himanshu_Sourav]

I am a novice, would you be please kind and elaborate why you are suggesting lanboot, and how does it relate to this problem..? (yes I am on Integrity VM )

i did not use lanboot, but tried with bootsys command,

# bootsys -i "B.11.31 IA golden image" -f  "HIM-VM:15.213.230.10"
Primary boot path set to 0/0/1/0.0x0.0x0 (/dev/disk/disk1_p2)
        Rebooting HVM now.
        bootsys_prep return code = 0
#

after that the VM reboots and shows this error
