Hello,
Problem found with rnetboot and the way it creates booline for ppc boot on a P7 lpar. The line what works is at open firmware prompt is: boot /vdevice/l-lan@30000002:speed=auto,duplex=auto,192.168.14.115,,192.168.14.16,000.000.000.000,5,5,255.255.255.0,512 what doesn't is boot /vdevice/l-lan@30000002:speed=auto,duplex=auto,bootp,192.168.14.115,,192.168.14.16,192.168.14.254 I have eliminated it down to by changing lpar_netboot.expect to use < set net_device(0) "$full_path_name:speed=$speed,duplex= $duplex,bootp,$server_ip,,$client_ip,$gateway_ip" --- > set net_device(0) "$full_path_name:speed=$speed,duplex= $duplex,bootp,$server_ip,,$client_ip,$gateway_ip,,,$netmask," this works every time. seems there are some "extra_args" options as in set net_device(0) "$full_path_name:speed=$speed,duplex= $duplex,bootp,$server_ip,,$client_ip,$gateway_ip $extra_args" but I can't figure out how to set them. Am i missing something in the tables that would set this field? rnetboot -V Version 2.6.2 (svn r10179, built Thu Jul 28 02:53:32 EDT 2011) xCAT-2.6.1-snap201106162318 xCAT-rmc-2.6-snap201104261130 xCAT-server-2.6.2-snap201107280255 xCAT-IBMhpc-2.5.2-snap201103110418 perl-xCAT-2.6.2-snap201107280253 xCAT-client-2.6.2-snap201107192314 Regards, Dale............
