on the determined size. The EFI code calculates the wrong size, hence the allocated buffer is too small to hold the file.

Apart from updating the firmware, using a tftp server that supports the tsize option will also solve this problem. The tsize option allows a tftp client to ask the tftp server for the size of the file. This saves the client from having to download the file to determine its size.

The HP-UX 11i v2 operating system supports the tsize option from first release; HP-UX 11i v1 requires the patch PHNE_32825.

Using a tftp server that supports the tsizeoption makes network booting faster, since every file to be downloaded from the Ignite server via tftp does not have to be downloaded twice (once to determine its size, and again to download it into memory.)

File Size miscalculated on HP Integrity virtual machines

AUTOBOOTING...Obtaining size of Rel_B.11.23/IINSTALL (63450640 bytes) Downloading file Rel_B.11.23/IINSTALL /

TFTP session failed. (reason:Buffer Too Small) not open Rel_B.11.23/IINSTALL

The error TFTP session failed. (reason:Buffer Too Small) is applicable only to HP Integrity Virtual Machines. The reason is the same as described under the heading: File Size Miscalculated. No version of HP Integrity VM contains fixed firmware at this time. To resolve this issue, install the patches listed in the File Size Miscalculated section so the tftpd daemon supports the tsize option.

Creation of archive

Devices that do not support SCSI mode page 0x80 or 0x83 are not recovered correctly.

The system with OE versions earlier than March 2014, must have Ignite-UX version C.7.17.3611 and the patches PHKL_43607 and PHCO_43594 installed. The attribute enable_get_config must be set to ‘true’. These patches are required by Ignite-UX to create the archive correctly. If these patches are not installed, then there may be issues during recovery of some of the devices, which do not support SCSI INQUIRY pages (page 0x80 and page 0x83) used for uniquely identifying these devices.

The attribute enable_get_config allows the serial number to be recorded for the device and persistence to be maintained after recovery of some devices (for example, SATA DVD drives). Run \"scsimgr save_attr -a enable_get_config=true\" to set the attribute to true.

Some of the USB DVD drives have been found not to return a valid serial number. Hence, on systems that have Ignite-UX version C.7.17.3612 and the patches PHKL_43607 and PHCO_43594 installed, with the attribute enable_get_config set to true, it is recommended to not connect more than 1 USB DVD drive. In case you need to connect more than 1 USB DVD drive, it is recommended to disable the fix by running“scsimgr save_attr –a enable_get_config=false”, before connecting the additional USB DVD drive. For more information about the patch and the attribute, see the patch documentation and scsimgr(1m) manpage.
