Jumpstarting / tftp download fails

Hi,
I setup a Solaris 10 x86 /1106 jumpstart server. I was able to install a Dell Latitude D420 using this jumpstart server. However if I try to install another x86 machine the booting process hangs after fetching the correct IP from the DHCP server.
the last line ist
TFTP....
and after timing out booting fails.
tftpd seems to start correctly on the server (ps shows in.tftpd running) but I don't know what goes wrong.
How do I debug the tftp sessions on the server side? even setting *.debug in syslog.conf did not help.
Or is there a problem with the pxegrub file....no idea.
any hints?
Thanks & Regards

I'd start by snooping the client from the server. You should at least see the beginning of the tftp connection. Verify the file it is getting.
On the server, try tftping to itself. Can you get the same file that the client is requesting?

  • WDS PXE Problems on 1 model of PC only - The following Client failed TFTP Download - Error Code 1460

    Hey all,
    I am experiencing a problem with my WDS PXE Environment, with 1 specific model of PC's only. This is a Dell XPS machine with an Intel e1000 nic in it.
    The problem is that when you PXE Boot, it starts off fine, and I reach a menu that has all of my boot images listed, but as soon as you pick one it hangs on a black screen.
    From the event viewer on the server I can see the following entry:
    The Following Client failed TFTP Download: 
    IP: 10.130.148.211
    Filename: \Boot\Boot.SDI
    ErrorCode: 1460
    I've done some google searching and found some topics that could be related, but none of the fixes mentioned helped me. This is the one I tried:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserversetup/thread/a1246f62-6a8a-482b-9323-7e02dfeab196/#52aaf6fb-9494-4327-bbc3-8afe3e78905c
    The problem I had was that the link they gave to the Hotfix, doesnt actually have anyway to download the hotfix!! 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975710
    Although
    I am not convinced that packet size is the problem here, more likely some network or disk controller driver issues??
    No
    idea at all where to go from here. It is only this one model of PC that fails, and all others work fine. If someone can point me in the right direction it would be very greatly appreciated.
    I
    would be happy to provide you with any additional details you may require.
    Thanks,

    This error is happening everyday. Please advise for a fix.
    If this is happening on an UPSTREAM server it is because you have approved updates that are no longer available from Microsoft. Almost always this involves approvals of *EXPIRED* updates (which have been pulled from the catalog and cannot be downloaded).
    If this is happening on a DOWNSTREAM server it's because something/someone deleted the files from the upstream server. It can also happen if the entire upstream ~\WSUSContent folder has gone amuk.
    For an upstream server, find the expired updates, remove the approvals, cancel the downloads, and then decline the updates.
    For a downstream server, figure out what the affected updates are and fix the upstream server.

  • Hi, We have an application  built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1. When we try to download a file(.pvw file) in that application safari throws "Download failed" error. Please suggest what needs to be done.

    Hi,
    We have an application  built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1.
    When a file url is clicked instead of asking for Save or Open or Cancel options, the file gets opened on IPad by default.
    Is this default behaviour which cannot be changed or can it be configured to ask user preference?
    When we try to download a file(.pvw file -> a model file) in the above application, safari throws "Download failed" error.
    Please suggest what needs to be done.
    Regards,
    Pramod

    Safari on an iPad in general does not allow downloading of files. That's a safety precaution in the iOS SDK to keep unauthorized content off of iOS devices. Safari will open from the web site file types that it can handle, but direct downloading isn't normal behavior, and I don't believe the behavior can be changed, though you can try asking in the developer forum, either here or the one to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.
    Regards.

  • How can I get Instant notification if a download fails, instead of sifting through the whole library later looking for a fail message

    sometimes I download hundreds of articles, pdf's, videos etc at one sitting, and cannot stop to watch whether or not some few of the items "fail" to completely download. Later, when scrolling down the whole list of recent downloads in the library I try to squint and see the tiny words notifying of a failed download but it is easy to miss the warning plus when there are hundreds of items it is VERY time-consuming to double click each item to attempt a re-download . . it usually DOES re-download ok BUT selecting this process sends the cursor back to the top of the library listings and now it takes forever to find your place back in the area where there were several "fails" listed together to continue the correction process for the whole list. Would be SO VERY MUCH better if and when a particular download fails, that a pop up window message would alert to that fact and a simple click within said window would automatically re-start the download, etc. That way a vital article would not later be discovered to have no content or error message, etc, just when one needed it and perhaps was not able to go online to fix it.

    You can run this code in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) to add a tooltip to the icon of each item in that list.
    You probably need to scroll the full list to make Firefox update all attributes and you need to rerun the code in the browser console via cursor Up and Enter to update all tooltips after having done a new download.
    If you run the code then you get a pop-up that shows some information of all selected items (Ctrl click multiple items).
    You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
    Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.

    Open the Java pane in System Preferences. A separate application will launch. In the Security tab, check the box marked
    Enable Java content in the browser
    If necessary, adjust the Security Level slider, but if you must reduce the level, do so only temporarily and only if you are absolutely sure of what you're doing. Don't do this to play a game or because a stranger on the Internet asked you to. Java can be dangerous.
    If your browser is Safari, you may also need to make changes to the plugin settings in the Security tab of its preferences window.

    I was pointing out how much easier it is to get music on the device by syncing with the computer, particularly as you can put loads on at once.
    Re-installing the OS to the latest version should give you the best chance of attaining your goal.
    In the guides it says to do a backup. Do this if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
    I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
    Get the latest Desk Top Software
    http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
    and install it on the computer.
    Get the correct latest version of the OS
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    and save it to computer.
    To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps. This option is available with
    BlackBerry Device Software 3.8 and later.
    1. In the device Options, click Security.
    If you are using BlackBerry Device Software 4.1, click Security Options > General Security.
    2. Click the trackwheel and select Wipe Handheld.
    3. Click Continue.
    4. Type “blackberry”. All the data on the BlackBerry device is erased.
    On some new versions of BlackBerry software, the menu navigation is slightly different.
    1. Go to Options.
    2. Select Security Options.
    3. Select General Settings.
    4. Click the Menu key.
    5. Select Wipe Handheld.
    6. Click Continue.
    7. Type “blackberry”. All the data on the BlackBerry device is erased.
    Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
    1. Connect your device to your computer.
    2. On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Update my device.
    3. Do one of the following:
    * To download an update, click Get update.
    * To view other available versions of the BlackBerry Device Software, click View other versions. If applicable, click another version. Click Install.
    Ensure the new OS is the one you prevously downloaded.
    Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
    After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
    Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!
