[HPADM] Re: UPDATE: Co-existance of instl_bootd and bootpd

Hi,

I think that the bootptab is the wrong file and I ought to have looked
into the /etc/dhcptab. This has more useful unformation and may explain
why the client was being passed the wrong .efi file.

I have prepared this new entry, but am unsure what the class-id ought to
be set to. Its is currently : class-id="PXEClient:Arch:00002":\

dhcp_pool_group:\
re:\
pool-name=LINUX_BOOT:\
ncid:\
addr-pool-start-address=10.222.8.254:\
addr-pool-last-address=10.222.8.254:\
allow-bootp-clients=TRUE:\
class-id="PXEClient:Arch:00002":\
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/LINUX/elilo-ia64.efi:\
hn:\
gw=10.222.8.1:\
ds=10.222.18.10 10.222.18.11:

Hi knowledgeable HP admins,

I have tried to configure the 11.23 server as the boot
server for our test Linux box. Results are that it DHCPs the IP
address, gateway and broadcast, but not the subnet mask. A snoop
(nettl) shows that BOOTP requested this file:
../opt/ignite/boot/boot_lif.octet.tsize.0


However, the contents of the files and directories are,

root@123:/opt/ignite/boot/LINUX# file *
elilo-3.12-ia64.efi: data
elilo-ia64.conf: ascii text
elilo-ia64.efi: data
images: directory


# cat /opt/ignite/boot/LINUX/elilo-ia64.conf
chooser=textmenu
message=hplinux.msg
prompt

image=sles11_i586/linux
label=SLES11_i586
description="Install SuSE Enterprise 11"
initrd=initrd
append="initrd=initrd ramdisk_size=65536
install=nfs://10.205.8.145/export/sles11-dvd1-i586
hostip=10.205.8.254/24
autoyast=nfs://10.205.8.145/export/generica-sles11_i586-autoinst.xml
netdevice=eth0 textmode=1 insmod=bnx2"
read-only

# tail /etc/bootptab
autoyast:\
ht:=ethernet:\
hn:\
sm=255.255.252.0:\
gw=10.205.8.1:\
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/LINUX/elilo-ia64.efi:\
bs=61


Previously, the elilo-ia64.conf contained this, but I am certain
that it misses several options required:

root@123:/opt/ignite/boot/LINUX# cat elilo-ia64.conf
chooser=textmenu
message=hplinux.msg
prompt

image=images/SuSE11/Linux
label=SuSE11
description="Install SuSE Enterprise 11"
initrd=images/SuSE11/initrd
append="install=nfs://10.205.8.145/pxelinux.0
read-only

Any thoughts?

Best wishes, Simon.

PS. Please presume that the option of having a separate DHCP server
on the same VLAN is outside the scope of this question. Thank-you.
PPS. In an ideal world I would prefer the Linux server to handle
everything except DHCP, but as its 'one DHCP server on;y' on this
VLAN then this is not viable :(
