  • Boot to EFI shell
  • Create a dbprofile for the networking configuration for the client which include information about the client itself as well as IP and boot information from the Ignite server itself.
dbprofile -dn <profile name> -sip <Ignite-UX server IP> -cip <IP for the client (server being imaged)> -m <subnet mask> -gip <gateway IP> -b /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi
  • Upon successful creation of the profile, next run the lanboot command
lanboot -dn <profile name>

Assuming TFTP and NFS are configured correctly on the Ignite server, you will be prompted to specify OS version, networking configuration information and finally be presented with the install TUI.
