[HPADM] Using ignite with Itanium

Hi to all,

Overhere we have a C240 workstation running HP-UX 11i with an Autoraid
12H attached to it.
We use this system to install HP-UX ( 10.20, 11.00 and 11i ) including
patches and applications on several kind of systems.
According to the release notes of Ignite version B.4.1 one can install
Itanium systems from a PA-RISC system and the other way around.
However, we can not find decent information on how to set this up on a
PA-RISC system.
All documentation found at HP points to a document about preparing an
Itanium server instead of a PA-RISC server.
We've tried the following ( settings in /etc/bootptab ) from this
document :

ignite-defaults:\
ht=ethernet:\
hn:\
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi:\
bs=48
System-IPF:\
tc=ignite-defaults:\
ha=00d009000000:\
ip=190.40.101.22:\
sm=255.255.248.0:\
gw=190.1.48.1:\
ds=190.1.48.11

We've changed the hardware address, IP address and such to the correct
settings for our situation but this doesn't seem to work.
First of all the Itanium system doesn't seem to get an address at all
and second, there's no efi file on our ignite server.

Anyone with experience regarding this ?

Thanks in advance,

Marcel Burggraeve
