| Hi, I know this is an old sytem but i need to get it running. The host is aix 4.3 or 3.2 ( I have two systems i can test this on). I know my host configuration is good because we were able to get one station up and running. However THIS station does not even allow me into the main menu ..I believe the bootp is working but it fails on the tftp. The errors i get are as follows: Invalid Paraemter entry for: BOOT FILE NAME TFTP: FAILED TO OPEN /etc/x_st_mgr/X150serv 503 Server file system corrupted. the file X150serv is present with the proper permissions. Is the server filesystem corrupted because the TFTP fails or does the TFTP fails because there is something wrong with the xstation itself. Could erasing the NVRAM help?? I cannot even get into the main menu...I only have access to the service menu 's accesible with the jumper change. Any Help would be appreciated..Thanks khasper |

| 1. Validate that tftp and bootps are capable of running on your system: egrep "bootps|tftp" /etc/inetd.conf bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd bootpd /etc/bootptab tftp dgram udp6 SRC nobody /usr/sbin/tftpd tftpd -n (These should NOT be commented out.) 2. Validate that there is an entry in /etc/bootptab for your X station. grep -v "^#" /etc/bootptab nimtest:bf=/tftpboot/nimtest:ip=10.16.20.70:ht=ethernet:sa=10.16.20.28: sm=255.255.255.0: 3. Validate that the boot file (listed as "bf" in the previous output): ls (path_and_name of your bootfile) 4. Validate that NFS is running and that your NFS resources are available.
