In regards of this issue, the following is my hardware configuration: Server: DL360 - G3 (2 GB memory), Network Driver: bmc5700
Client: DL360 - G3 (2 GB memory), Network adapter: (embedded) Compaq NC7781 PCI-X 10/100/1000 Gigabit NICs with WOL (Wake on LAN) & PXE support Network Switch: Procurve 2650 (10/100) I have tried setting FULL DUPLEX (on & off) with the same result. I keep getting "pipeline full error messages" on the client. Tried MAX_BITRATE = 20M and it goes through 95% of the download and then it fails/retries. Could it be the network driver on the client side? Or some other issue at the client side? I have updated SI from 3.1.2 to 3.1.4 with the same issue.

If you are getting "pipeline full" errors, that is an indication that the client is failing to write the data as fast as it receives it. MAX_BITRATE is a good option to tweak. You might try setting it really low -- seems like 20M works for me on a notebook w/IDE disk acting as server and IDE client. That's extremely conservative, but you can try something really small, and work your way up. What network equipment (NICs, Switch(es), etc.) are you using? -Brian > I am using a DL360 g3 client, running Reh Hat 7.3 SystemImager 3.1.2 > with the latest Flamethrower RPM. > > Thanks in advance for the help! > > Carlos Ar?valo > hp > HPTC > E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- --------------------------------------------------------- Brian Elliott Finley Phone: 630.803.8183 GPG: 3FF8 D096 0E0C D3F3 29B7 6518 D20B 1931 10F8 EE52 --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
