No MAC addresses registered for system

Problem:

During the installation, deployment, or capture of IC-Linux, the Configure System to Boot from

Network step fails with the following message:

There are no MAC addresses registered for this system.

Workaround:

Bare metal boot the system as follows:

1. Determine the target system MAC address from DHCP.

2. Delete the corresponding PXE configuration file located in

/opt/repository/boot/pxelinux.cfg/ on the CMS. The file name format is 01-MAC-

address, where MAC-address is dash-separated MAC address.

3. PXE boot the target server as follows:

a. Connect to the target system iLO using either an ActiveX or Java enabled browser.

b. Connect to the remote console.

c. At the end of BIOS pre-boot, press <ALT>+F12 to boot the system from the network.

4. Wait until the target system boots. Then, wait for the IC-Linux RAM Disk to shut itself down. This

can take several minutes.

Re-run the failed task.
