Air Cleaner User Manual

The type of architecture/platform and the processor type of the client
to boot from the network install server. The default is the server’s
platform and kernel type.
The available options are:
chrp Common Hardware Reference Platform
chrp/MP
Multiprocessor Common Hardware Reference Platform
rs6k RISC System/6000 (uniprocessor)
rs6k/MP
Multiprocessor RISC System/6000
rspc PCI-based (PC) RISC System/6000 (uniprocessor)
rspc/MP
Multiprocessor PCI-based (PC) PC RISC System/6000
The first part of the selection is the platform type. The second part
(/MP) indicates the kernel type. If the kernel type portion is omitted, a
uniprocessor (single processor) kernel is used.
Server IP Address (Required)
The IP Address for the boot server. The default is the current IP address
of the system. Change this value only if the boot server has multiple IP
addresses and the default supplied is not desirable.
Client Gateway Address (Optional)
The network address of the gateway that the client must use to reach
this server, if any.
Client Subnet Mask (Optional)
The network mask, if required, that the client must use to communicate
on the network.
Client Adapter Hardware Address (Optional)
The client’s network adapter hardware address. This value is required
for only certain RSPC platform clients or if the user desires to broadcast
the BOOTP request without completing the server information. Do not
use this field for clients that communicate with the server through a
gateway.
4. Once all entries are completed, press Enter to confirm selections and execute
your choice.
Note: If a boot image for the client’s adapter, platform, and kernel combination
does not already exist, a boot image is created automatically when
adding the boot client.
Setting the Network Install Client Defaults
If you install a client system from a network install server, you can customize
installation to reduce, or even eliminate, the amount of information a user must
enter to initiate the installation of the client machine. The complete elimination of
all prompts is referred to as a “no-prompt install” or an “unprompted installation”.
This is accomplished by setting all installation information that the user is
normally prompted for before actually performing the network installation.
Configure the client as a network boot client before you set the network
installation defaults for that client.
