[ipxe-devel] Sanboot hangs on HP BL460c G7

Just tried 'sanboot' from an ipxe shell, and got the following:
'Could not describe SAN device 0x80: No such device (http://ipxe.org/2c85203b)'

Had a look at the page referenced, but didn't make much sense to me...
I'm fairly sure I'm running the latest version...

Any ideas?

Cheers
Gavin

Andrew

Havent tried sanhook or sanunhook... Can do though...

And no, I don't get any 'registered... ' output...

Just get:
'Booting from SAN Device 0x80'.
Have attached a screenshot of the console...

This is using the following ipxe script:
#!ipxe
echo Razor <%= @label %> model boot_call
echo Installation node UUID : <%= node.uuid %>
echo Installation image UUID: <%= @image_uuid %>
echo Active Model node state: <%= @current_state %>
echo Continuing local boot

sleep 3
sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80

Any ideas???

Cheers
Gavin

Hello Gavin,

Afternoon all

I'm trying to use iPXE in conjunction with Puppetlabs Razor to build some of our new servers.

I've got Razor and iPXE installed and working quite happily. However whenever the 'sanboot' command is used, iPXE just seems to hang, with the server never going anywhere...

Any ideas on what I can do to investigate?

Cheers
Gavin

Can you sanhook and sanunhook without issue?  Do you at least get the "Registered BIOS Drive 0x80" or any other messages?
