Ignite-UX Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i (B3921-90079, October 2013)

NOTE: Use select when no default LAN device is provided so a list of available LAN devices

is provided for user selection.

Use -od to specify optional data to be passed to the boot file.

Use -dn to specify a direct boot profile to be used to handle the LAN boot. Use the dbprofile

command to create and manage direct boot profiles.

Examples

• To LAN boot from a boot server that has been previously setup:

Shell> lanboot

Shell> lanboot select

• To specify optional data to be passed to the boot file that will be loaded from the boot server:

Shell> lanboot -od "optional data"

Shell> lanboot select -od "optional data"

where optional data is the actual data you want to pass to the boot file.

• To perform a direct LAN boot using a previously created direct boot profile:

Shell> lanboot -dn profile1

Shell> lanboot select -dn profile1

After booting the system, see “Installing HP-UX From the Client Console” for information on

configuring the HP-UX installation from the client console.
