[ipxe-devel] HP ML350 G6 support

[John Julien]

Netboot Agent is for 5709 cards (14e4:1639).  I'm not familiar with the
14e4:1678 card but HP UNDI PXE-2.1  v10.4.6 is indicating the presence of a
UNDI ROM which iPXE can pick up and use.  You should be able to use that
card without having native driver support.

Thanks John for the response. By enabling the PXE ROM, do you mean to enable
tg3 NIC for PXE boot in BIOS? I have enabled it ( i am able to do gpxe boot
on this), but stil. Also how do you find out the what Netboot agent version
the card has?? ( during gpxe boot, it says HP UNDI PXE-2.1  v10.4.6 -> is
this the netboot agent version? )

Thanks & Regards,
Divya

Neither of these cards have a native driver for iPXE.  There is a tg3 and
bnx2 driver but they don't support these cards.   Your best bet is to enable
the PXE ROM on the 14e4:1678 card and let iPXE use the UNDI driver provided
by Broadcom.   If the bnx2 card has Netboot Agent 6.0.11, which it probably
will, you will not be able to use the UNDI driver on that card as it is also
incompatible with iPXE.

Hi,
  I am trying to boot from ipxe iso image on HP ML 350 G6 server. I can go
to the cmd line. "ifstat" does not list any n/w interfaces. On exit from
shell ipxe reports "No more network devices". 


 
 
The server has onboard tg3 NICS ( 14e4: 1678 ). Tried with bnx2 add on card
(14e4: 1639), this doesn't work too. Am I missing anything?

Thanks & Regards,
Divya
