Re: NIM and an old H50; can't get it to boot up on the NIM_Master

Another item to look for is the setup on the nim server...

Run iptrace on the NIM server to see if you are actually getting any
traffic from the booting host... if you are .. make sure the
/etc/bootptab contains the correct information... verify all the
correct processes are running .. bootp / tftpd and others .. also
verify on the network switch you are attached too... are not seeing any
network errors .. this would lead me to believe you are attempting to do
auto negotiation and sometimes that is not as robust as hardcoding
adapter settings on both sides ..

And, can you ping OK? It might be a firmware issue also. I watch out for
firmware updates often when I'm having NIM problems, most of the time
they have some NIM fixes going on in firmware updates. I'd check this
H50's firmware and possibly update it to the latest.

H50

Hope this helps.

Make sure you verify the MAC address is correct ... You may be booting
off the wrong card or the MAC address is incorrect on the NIM side..

Within SMS, I'm in option 2(multiboot). I've tried a few options to get
this H50 to boot up on my NIM Master to do a O/S fresh install, but no
joy.

Which of the following options should I use and thank you!

1 Select Software

2 Software Default

3 Install From

4 Select Boot Devices

5 OK Prompt

6 Multiboot Startup <OFF>
