Booting Client Systems from the Network | |
| | | |  | NOTE: Network boot applies to HP 9000 Workstations and HP
9000 Servers (K/D Class) only.Supported Workstations:At Release 11.0, the following 32-bit HP 9000 Workstations
are supported: Series 700: 712, 715/64, 715/80, 715/100, 715/100XC, 743,
744, 725/100 B-Class: B132L, B160L C-Class: C100, C110, C160, C160L,
C180 J-Class: All J-Class systems Unsupported WorkstationsWorkstations not supported are the following: 705, 710, 715/33, 715/50, 715/75, 720, 725/50, 725/75, 730,735,
755 Workstations not supported due to required 100BaseT driver
are the following:B132L+, B180L C200, C240 Supported ServersThe 32-bit kernel can execute on any Server and Workstation
supported on 11.0, except the V2200 Server. The 64-bit kernel executes
only on certain servers. The V2200 requires the use of the 64-bit
kernel. Not all PA8x00 CPU- equipped
systems are supported for 64-bit operation, even though all PA8x00
CPUs are 64-bit capable. At Release 11.0, the following HP 9000 Servers are supported: 32-Bit Only: D, E, G, H, and I-class,
K-class (PA7x00), T500, and T520. 32/64-Bit: K-class (PA8x00), and T600,
Updating
a cluster server to HP-UX 10.30 or later is not supported. NFS Diskless
functionality is not supported in HP-UX Release 10.30 or later.
Do not update your server to HP-UX Release 11.0 if you intend for
that server to operate as an NFS Diskless server. | | | | |
The details in the following section are provided
for guidance in case you have a variety of HP systems with different
boot-console interfacing, and in case the client system is not currently
running HP-UX. There is on-line help in the boot interface to guide you,
in case you need to interact with the process. If you need help,
type help boot. If the client system is already running an OS, you may use
this procedure or use the bootsys
command as described in “Non-Interactive Installation Using
bootsys ”. Procedure Determine your network server address for the install. If
necessary, see your system administrator for this information. Turn on your target system. When you see a message about stopping the boot search,
quickly press and hold ESC to
stop the boot selection process.
Older Series 700 | |
On older Series 700 machines, you will eventually see the
following. (For HP 9000 Workstations, see the section “HP 9000 Workstations and Servers (K/D
Class) ”, in this chapter.) Do one of the following: If your network has only one install
server and your system is not configured as a diskless client, then
type: The boot may fail the first time because of an intentional
delayed response by the install server. If it fails,
try it again. If it fails more than three times, check for problems
on the install server (see Chapter 7 “Troubleshooting ”) OR If your network has multiple install servers, make
sure you boot from the network server address specified by your
system administrator.
To Search for Servers: Type the following: If your Ignite-UX server does not appear during
the search, type "x"
in order to exit. If necessary, type the search command
again: Note that it will typically take two or three searches
before the Ignite-UX server will be found, due to a built-in delayed
response from the server system. Identify your LAN server from the listing. If three attempts result in no response from the
desired server, see Chapter 7 “Troubleshooting ”
If you know the Ethernet™ address of your
server and can specify where to boot without going through the search
process, type: where 080009-nnnnnn
is the Ethernet address of the install server. (Some newer systems
may not use the 080009 prefix.) This number can be found by running
the lanscan(1M) command on the server.
If your server is listed during the
search, then you can boot the system by typing "p"
and the index number of the server. For example: This will cause the boot to begin. OR Alternatively, you can exit this screen by typing
"x Enter",
and typing "boot p1"
at the previous screen.

Class) | |
After the power is turned on, you will see a graphical interface
screen (Workstations) that displays instructions to press ESC
to stop the boot process. (On Servers, the interface will be TUI.) Press ESC, and you should
see the following menu: If your network only has one Ignite-UX
server available, type the following: Otherwise, to make sure you boot from the correct
server, do one of the following: Make the system search for servers
and pick one. OR Explicitly tell the system where to boot, as follows:
To search for servers type the following (Workstations only): The list of servers will be displayed with IP addresses.
You may need to run the command nslookup
on another running system to determine which address corresponds
to your Ignite-UX server, if this information isn't already available. Once you know the IP address of your server (as
provided by the search, or by the nslookup
command), boot the system by typing the following: boot lan.nn.n.nn.n install |
For nn.n.nn.n, supply the IP address
of your server. The system then begins to load the install kernel from the
network server.
Time Note (Booting from LAN) This should take 3 to 5 minutes. |
