Direct boot profiles for Itanium-based systems

All partitionable Itanium-based systems allow the definition of direct boot profiles. This EFI functionality is also found in other, non-partitionable systems.

Some systems might require firmware updates to provide support for direct boot profiles. If your system does not provide the dbprofile command, check for any firmware updates that might enable it. You can also consult the system's hardware documentation to determine if dbprofile is supported.

The dbprofile command allows you to create direct boot profiles that can be used in conjunction with the lanboot EFI command. A direct boot profile contains information needed to talk over the network to an installation server.

NOTE: This does not affect any DHCP support you may need to configure to allow the installation process to talk to an Ignite-UX server once the install kernel has started. The use of direct boot profiles only allows network boot from EFI without needing to setup a bootp/DHCP server.

The following dbprofile command, when run from EFI,

dbprofile -dn testprofile -sip 192.1.2.1 -cip \

192.1.1.20-gip 192.1.1.1 -m 255.255.255.0 -b \ "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"
