Re: New partition install from NFS.

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In this order.

From the NFS Host PING the IP address below. If it doesn't ping that's 
yer problem. Chase that.

Once it pings then STOP the interface and assure that it STOPs pinging. 
Yes I've seen that be a problem. IBM i temporarily assigns an interface 
to the LIC for the duration of the install. After that you often have to 
reset it yourself. Until then if you do that it can foobar the service 
tools interface.

Once you're happy with PING results then work the optical device. 
Installing the LIC required that tftp was good AND that the NFS SHare 
and VOLUME_LIST file were good.

If you don't see any volumes in WRKOPTVOL then itnoworkie. You will 
always see the first volume in VOLUME_LIST in there. You can look at 
contents too to be sure it's not just a klingon ID.
