926.0. "QLC V2.0 & V1.5 - GS/ATM doesn't boot" by KAMPUS::BRANDNER (That's noot eentiiirly aaacuuraate ...) Tue Apr 29 1997 13:58

	Hi all,

	I've got a problem with our GS/ATM:

	History:
	We have 2 QLC V1.5 with Firmware Release 2.1.3 and CMM Firmware
	Version 1.82 up and running.
	We've got a QLC V2.0. I installed the QLC V2.0 in slot 1 (as
	described in the Release Notes for 2.1.3). I set up the bootp
	server (DU4.0B which runs joind instead of bootpd; but this
	worked fine for me with the QLC V1.5 upgrade to 2.1.3).

	The /tftpboot directory:
drwxrwxr-t   2 root     system      8192 Apr 29 17:12 ./
drwxr-xr-x  23 root     system      8192 Apr 28 19:15 ../

	Problem:

	The switch doesn't come up with QLC V2.0 and V1.5 installed!
	The switch workes fine with QLC V1.5 only installed!
	The switch workes fine with QLC V2.0 only installed!

	BTW: the QLC V1.5 are telling me that they're running:
		Kernel Version 356 and Appl. Version 359
	just what the release notes for 2.1.3 is showing.

	The QLC V2.0 tells me that it's running
		Kernel Version 353 and Appl. Version 355

	Release notes for 2.1.3 doesn't mention *any* of the versions
	the QLC V2.0 is telling me!


	What's wrong with this? Help needed!

	Rudi

	Following are console outputs of the GS/ATM:

926.1Upgrade QLC V2 to 2.1.3LEMAN::PAIVAHawkeye - Network Support @GEOWed Apr 30 1997 06:437
    I think that you should upgrade the QLC V2 to V2.1.3, that is manage to
    use the bootp/tftp server when the QLC V2 is the only linecard
    installed (which from .0 you couldn't so far...).
    
    Hope this helps.

926.2Re: Upgrade QLC V2 to 2.1.3KAMPUS::BRANDNERThat's noot eentiiirly aaacuuraate ...Wed Apr 30 1997 08:5125
	Re .1

	Pedro,

	that's exactly what I've tried. Having only the QLC V2.0 installed
	bootp/tftp serves the GS/ATM V2.0 Linecard with the images

-r--r--r--   1 root     system   1290736 Apr 18 17:36 LC20R213.BIN
-r--r--r--   1 root     system    524288 Apr 18 17:43 LC20R213.ROM

	After the download and rebooting the switch it tells me
	that the QLC V2.0 got Version 2.1 of the ROM and APPL.
	images. Looking at the files served LC20R213.BIN and .ROM
	it should tell me that it's V2.1.3.

	So, do I have garbled/wrong/false images?

	I've ftp'd them from gatkeeper (both the subdirectory and the
	tar file).

	Still need some help.

	Thanks
	Rudi

    From looking at the "QLC V2.0 only installed and booting" part of 0. it
    appears that bootp failed. In my opinion that's the first problem to
    track...
    
    What's the IP address of your GS/ATM and what's your bootp server's?

926.4Problem solvedKAMPUS::BRANDNERThat's noot eentiiirly aaacuuraate ...Wed Apr 30 1997 12:3469
	Pedro,

	you're absolutly right. It's working right now with both versions
	of the QLC.

	Just some notes which might save others some time.
	Here's the setup which worked at least for me:

	- Entry for /etc/bootptab:

an3:ht=1:ha=08002ba4f600:ip=16.185.112.63:hd=/tftpboot:bf=AN3_VER213

	- Entry for /etc/inetd.conf:

tftp   dgram  udp  wait  root  /usr/sbin/tftpd    tftpd -r/tftpboot /tftpboot
							^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	The last parameter is important; if you don't have the last parameter
	"/tftpboot" tftp fails and the switch tells you there's an access
	violation error.

	- Contents of /tftpboot:

drwxrwxrwx   2 root     system      8192 Apr 29 17:12 ./

QLCV2 LC20R213.ROM LC20R213.BIN
LC622 LC15R213.ROM LC15R213.BIN


	If you still have problems getting "access violation errors" from
	the GS/ATM, try following entries for /tftpboot/AN3_VER213:

000359FFB/tftpboot/LC20R213.BIN
/tftpboot/LC20R213.ROM
QLC15 /tftpboot/LC15R213.ROM /tftpboot/LC15R213.BIN
QLCV2 /tftpboot/LC20R213.ROM /tftpboot/LC20R213.BIN
LC622 /tftpboot/LC15R213.ROM /tftpboot/LC15R213.BIN

	With all the absolute paths in there it even works if your inetd.conf
	entry looks like this:

tftp   dgram  udp  wait  root  /usr/sbin/tftpd    tftpd


	So, to be sure I'll use absolute paths from now on. It saves time
	in figuring out what parameter which daemon didn't get or didn't
	accept.

	Hope this helps somebody somewhere sometime. Thanks to you all.

	Rudi
