Unable to setup the client directory for the system

Hello,
I have a sytem running HPUX 11.00 that have installed Iginite_ux B5725AA_B.5.3.35_HP-UX_B.11.00_32+64.depot. It is fine that I created an icon on a Ignite GUI window for the client that is running HPUX11.00, but it is error for the clients that is running HPUX B10.20; The error as following:
"Architecture" at line 105
"machine_type" at line 106
"OS_name" at line 107
"OS_release" at line 108
"OS_version" at line 109
Then I click OK the message is displayed "Unable to setup the client directory for the system 'hostname' "
Would you help please,
Thank you.

Re: Unable to setup the client directory for the system

You may need to do a 10.20 client from the client side.

If instl_adm -T shows no problems in your configuration files

boot the 10.20 box from the console

interupt at the 10 second prompt

bo lan.ip_address_of_server install

ex

boot lan.192.168.0.30 install

You must boot via the built in lan card. The transfer can go on a faster card.

Re: Unable to setup the client directory for the system

Yes, and then you need to see if you have correct entry for 10.2 client in /etc/bootptab or instl_boottab whatever you are using.
Then as already suggested check instl_adm configuration is correct.
It should show proper IG server Ip add, Gateways, Subnet mask,etc.
Sample Client entry i have in my boottab is as:
hostname:\
ht=ethernet:\
ha=:\
ip=:\
hn:\
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi:\
sm=255.255.254.0

And then try booting thr' lan inertace of 10.2 cleint machine. Halt at PDC prompt and
Main Menu> bo lan. install


Hope this helps

Re: Unable to setup the client directory for the system

Hi Jennifer,

You need to download and install the 10.20 version filesets too on your ignite server.

http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/download.html

This specific fileset from the 10.20 depot should help,
Ignite-UX.FILE-SRV-10-20

Hope this helps.
