TFTP timeout when get IINSTALL

[Andrey Zhelnin]

I use 'vparboot -p vpar -I' to install new virtual partition and got error:
Downloading file Rel_B.11.23/IINSTALL \
TFTP session failed. (reason:Time out)
Could not open Rel_B.11.23/IINSTALL

loading failed
Failed to start HPUX bootloader - 0x8000000000000003

My tftpd config in inetd.conf looks like:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd -l -R 60 -r timeout -T 180 /opt/ignite /var/opt/ignite

And i got no strange in syslog - last messages was:
Dec 20 12:53:31 Tclust1 tftpd[10737]: receive: RRQ /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.23/IINSTALL octet blksize 81 92
Dec 20 12:53:31 Tclust1 tftpd[10737]: send: OACK blksize 8192

Not my case ;(
I have 11.23 release on Ignite server and
"The HP-UX 11i v2 operating system supports the tsize option from first release"

This looks like a known issue which has been taken care by the patch PHKL_34088.

If not installed, install the patch and try the lan boot.

It's already applied

Can you tell us about the server model , Vpar version, IG-UX version, lan card model etc. being used?

It seems that the problem is occuring at the first step itself . i.e not able connecting to IG-UX server at all.

Assuming the vpar you are trying to install is on the same subnet as that of current running vpar, try if IG-UX could be contacted first using
vpar1# tftp
tftp> get /opt/ignite/boot/WINSTALL

This ensure IG-UX server tftp is working.

Assuming that it's Integrity server, when you issue "vparboot" coomand to boot from IG-UX server, on the console of the target vpar ( switch using CTRL-A ), you get an option to select a lan card to be used for lan bootup through lanboot select. You have to select correct lan card which is no the same subnet as that of IG-UX server. I think selecting correct lan card should resolve the issue.

rx8620
A.04.02.10
Ignite-UX-11-23 C.6.7.79
HP A6825-60101 PCI 1000Base-T Adapter
IG-UX and target vpar in the same subnet but on different sites.
And as i remember - last vpar instalation (about 2-3 months ago) was good and w\o problems.
May be i can change timeouts for tftp client? (i read some docs but don't understand how :( )

> vpar1# tftp

work's - it takes 33 seconds
