Onetime network boot configuration
To do a onetime network boot configuration, log in to the mars partition (server)
and execute the /usr/sbin/mksbnetboot -h pluto -d your_network_type -T
chrp -k mp -S server_ip -g client_gateway -s client_subnet command in
order to define pluto as a network boot client and to build the required boot
image.
Note: The values allowed for the variable your_network_type are Ethernet or
token ring. If your client and server are on the same subnet (the client does
not require a gateway to get to the server), specify the server address again
for the client_gateway variable.
Sample network boot
In order to network boot the pluto partition (client) from the mars partition
(server), do the following operations:
1. Boot the pluto partition to the SMS menu.
2. Select Multiboot.
3. Select Select Install Device.
4. Select the desired network interface to use for the network boot process.
5. Type X two times to return to the main SMS menu.
6. Select Remote Initial Program Load.
7. Select IP parameters.
8. Input the same server IP address, client IP address, client gateway, and client
subnet mask values that were used in the SysBack network boot
configuration.
Note: If your client and server are on the same subnet (the client does not
require a gateway to get to the server), specify the server address again for
the client_gateway variable.
9. Type X to return to the Remote Initial Program Load menu.
