tftpd: send_file: recv: Can't assign requested address

I'm trying to install a new ignite-ux client.

The client installation hangs and on the server I get the following messages:

tftpd[11831]: send_file: recv: Can't assign requested address

The IGNITE version is C.7.1.93

I can however install other clients. Just this particular client is hanging.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Shalom,

The ignite interfaces stores information about the client by mac address.

There may already be a mac address listing for this system with incorrect permissions.

There is also a log in /var/opt/ignite that might present you with some clues as to the actual issue.

This particular problem seems to be with tftpd.

tftpd home directory needs to be the right permissions, owned by the user of the same name.

Ignite also has a small dhcp server that may be at its limits on addresses that can be handed out. restarting this service may help.

I'm trying to install a new client but the GUI session hangs.

On the Ignite server besides the tftpd message , the file /var/opt/ignite/logs/ignite
contains the following message:

ERROR: WARNING: Could not find Q_BOOT device. Cannot determine what the boot
device
was.
ERROR: Could not get io-device data (ioscan)
WARNING: Could not find source device in ioscan output. You must
select from
the list of devices below to use for the source device:
Not a valid install device, try again.
Press Return to continue: ERROR: add_new_client terminated by (user)
signal


I supose It's related to the new client installation.


The clients directory does not contain the new client MAC address.
