Hi.

I tried network booting the client after clicking on the "Setup Network Boot" botton. I did not work.

According to me the firewall on the server node has been always turned off. This is the way I did it: I opened the "Mandriva Linux Control Center" and went to "Security" and finally click on the only option I had "Set up a personal firewall in order....". Here, I chose no firewall and selected the network card connected to the cluster.

However, there is something wrong with the connectivity. I can ping the client node from the server but I cannot ping the server from the client. Do you think this reveals part of the problem?

I am working on your other suggestions, but I have to confess, most of these networking stuff is completely new for me. Maybe I could start checking the connection with the packet sniffer but I do not how to do it!!!. Perhaps you can direct me to some place in the internet where I can get the precise information about it.

That changes some of the settings on the DHCP server so that it will send out client images.

Is the firewall on the server node turned off?

Unfortunately the oscarinstall.log files don't usually help with networking problems...

Check /var/log/messages and any other networking based logs to see if there are any reported errors. Otherwise you are probably going to have to break out a packet sniffer to see if any traffic is going through.

It could also be a driver issue, I had a 3Com card a while back which had a bad UDP driver and had this sort of problem. You might try checking the mfg and seeing if they have an updated driver or if there are reports on the net about problems with UDP.

Also, if you have a managed switch you might want to check and make sure it is allowing all traffic on 192.168.0.* (udp and tcp)

Hi.

The two computers are connected via a private switch. I assigned the IP number 192.168.0.1 to the network card in the server node which also acts as a DHCP server. The client computer was assigned the number 192.168.0.2 by the DHCP server. Anyway, it seems that some basic communication between tho computers is established.

Regarding the "Setup Network Boot", I clicked on it after I collected the MAC address.

Did you click on the "Setup Network Boot" button in the "Setup Networking" window (it is toward the bottom under "Boot Environment") before trying to collect mac addresses?

Hello.

I am trying to install OSCAR 5.0 with Mandriva 2006 in order to cluster two computers. The server node has Mandriva 2006 installed whereas the client has windows XP. I was expecting that the cluster installation would erase windows XP in the client and install Mandriva instead. I managed to run the cluster installation program until to step 6 "set up networking" but I have not been able to install the client image because the network boot of the client machine fails. The network boot stops with the message "TFTP open time out". I also tried to use the autoinstall CD but it did not work. Apparently, the "network is unreachable".

Could somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?
