hi piergiorgio, * regarding local boot:
if your server/client VLANs are in a local area network, there is most probably no need for local boot (see previous mail thread "OTC server with clients in different subnets") the intended use of local boot is in slow networks (WANs) or where no DHCP server is available. in addition, the local boot package is currently broken in experimental and therefore this package won't work with the openthinclient-server-0.1.3 virtual appliance. if you need localboot, stick with the openthinclient-0.4.5 JAR release. if you need to have all data (OS, applications, ...) locally on your thin client, you have to change the local boot application setting: "System files: NFS" to "System files: Local" and reinitialize your thin client storage device (make sure it's booted via PXE when executing the local boot application). The setting "System files: NFS" will only add boot loader, kernel and initrd to the desired storage device and the root file system will still be on NFS. * regarding "boot process is very slow": take a look at SUITE-383 (make sure you are logged in to see all comments): https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/browse/SUITE-383 cheers, martin Piergiorgio Venuti schrieb: > Hi all, > I've a Openthinclient server in a VLAN and my thin client in a another VLAN, > I set up accordly the LDAP and the NFS server in local boot application, so > my client are able to login but the boot process is very slow, about 30 min. > If I move the server in the same VLAN of client all works fine, 1 min to > login. > > I set the local boot program as follow: > System file: NFS > LDAP URL: my server > root-address of the NFS: my server/openthinclient > home-address of the NFS: my server/home > obtain network parameters: automatic over DHCP > > I don't have any error messages in login phase and in thin client log from > Manager console. > > The DHCP server is in the same VLAN of client so the client get the address > but spend a lot of time in TCOS building phase. > > Is there a way to solve this problem? > > My server is a quad core processor with 4 Gb of RAM and I try with only one > client so I don't think that is a hardware problem. > > Best regards > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Ing.
