Upon further investigation, I've decided that my
problem is that the client can't download the bootp
image from the master.
I've run the bootp on the master in debug mode, and I
get this:
Mar 6 13:09:18 server01 bootpd[2342]: bootptab mtime
is Thu Mar 6 09:44:51 2003
Mar 6 13:09:18 server01 bootpd[2342]: reading
"/etc/bootptab"
Mar 6 13:09:18 server01 bootpd[2342]: read 0 entries
from "/etc/bootptab"
Mar 6 13:09:18 server01 bootpd[2342]: dumped 0
entries to "/etc/bootpd.dump".
Mar 6 13:15:26 server01 bootpd[2342]: bootptab mtime
is Thu Mar 6 09:44:51 2003
Mar 6 13:15:26 server01 bootpd[2342]: Received boot
request.
Mar 6 13:15:26 server01 bootpd[2342]: request from IP
addr 123.25.6.103
Mar 6 13:15:26 server01 bootpd[2342]: IP address not
found: 123.25.6.103
Mar 6 13:15:26 server01 bootpd[2342]: Finished
processing boot request.
The IP address of the client is correct, and under
normal circumstances the server can contact the client
using that address.
First off, there is nothing in the /etc/bootptab file
on the master. I thought that a nim network boot
filled this in as needed, but is this not the case?
Do I need to manually generate these entries?
The client is on a different subnet than the server.
I think I'm leaning more towards this being my
problem, although I'm not sure what I don't have set
up correctly.
I have a network resource defined for each subnet, and
network routings defined.
Oh yeah - I upgraded the master to ML09, created a new
lpp from the ML09 cd's and a new spot from the new
lpp.
Any help would be appreciated.
