ht=ether hardware type is Ethernet.
For consistency if it was required that PA-RISC systems boot using bootp as well the boot file
would be given as:
bf=boot_lif:\
hd=/opt/ignite/boot:\
or
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/boot_lif:\
This would allow a PA-RISC system to boot using bootp as well (note that this would preclude
the use of the install option to boot lan from the boot console handler).
A /etc/bootptab entry is required for each MAC address.
Using a dbprofile (Integrity / Itanium)
Most newer model of Integrity systems have the EFI command function called dbprofile which
allows for directed network booting, similar in results to the PA-RISC directed lan boot.
Syntax
dbprofile [-dn name [-dhcp][-sip server_ip][-cip client_ip]
[-gip gateway_ip ][-m subnet_mask ][-b "boot_file"]
[-od "optional_data "]]|[-h]
dbprofile [rm name]|[-h]
dbprofile [cp src_name dst_name ]|[-h]
Options and Operands:
-dn name Display/create/modify a direct boot profile with the name name.
-dhcp ADHCP server will be used to get the client information.
-sip server_ip Set the static IP address for the boot server to server_ip .
-cip client_ip Set the static IP address for the client to client_ip.
-gip gateway_ip Set the static IP address for the gateway to gateway_ip .
-m subnet_mask Set the subnet mask for the local net work to subnet_mask .
-b "boot_file " Load boot file from the boot server.boot_file is the full path
To the boot file on the boot server.
Examples:
• To use a dbprofile for directed lanboot:
Shell> lanboot select –dn name
