Hi Simon Check out RFC 4578 on page 3 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4578#page-3 I can only confirm that booting a HP-UX IA64 system from a SLES DHCP server (the other way around) works. This is what I use in dhcpd.conf: option arch code 93 = unsigned integer 16; if option arch = 00:00 { # x86 filename "pxelinux.0"; next-server [sles-bootserver]; } else { # IA64=00:02 filename "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"; next-server [hpux-bootserver]; } Cheers, Michael -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Simon Loewenthal/NL/Tele2 [mailto:simon.loewenthal@klunky.co.uk] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28.

This has more useful information 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":\ Does any one know which class-ids should be used for Linux/SLES? 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: Simon Loewenthal/NL/Tele2 wrote:
Hi all,
I have to use an HP-UX server for DHCP on our VLAN. I would like to keep our SLES server as the autoyast server for the BOOTP NFS etc for the autoyast clients.
Has anyone had any experience with configuring HP-UX to pass off the client to the SLES server?
Currently, on HP-UX 11.23 I have;
root@123:/opt/ignite/boot/LINUX# file * elilo-3.12-ia64.efi: data elilo-ia64.conf: ascii text elilo-ia64.efi: data images: directory
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
root@123:/opt/ignite/boot/LINUX#
However, I later changed the file to read: # 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
HP-UX /etc/bootptab reads as;
autoyast:\ ht:=ethernet:\ hn:\ sm=255.255.252.0:\ gw=10.205.8.1:\ bf=/opt/ignite/boot/LINUX/elilo-ia64.efi:\ bs=61
Not that this made a blind bit of difference because a /nettl/ (HP-UX version of tcpdump) of the client's request was for this file: ../opt/ignite/boot/boot_lif.octet.tsize.0
Cheers, S.
PS. Please presume that we can only have one DHCP server per VLAN. PPS. Please ignore the earlier Email with the wrong title.
