Chapter 4 .
Once the RAC is booted, Monitor mode is no longer operational. The
RAC is up and running, and the following message is displayed:

Booting Using TFTP
To boot using TFTP, your TFTP daemon (tftpd) must be started in
/etc/inetd.conf
(or another appropriate directory on your system) with
a configuration line similar to this:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tftpd in.tftpd
-s/tftpboot
If you omit the
-s /tftpboot
,
a chroot will not be done, and
your system will be not be secure.
To set up directories and files and use TFTP to boot the RAC:
1. Initialize the IP address parameters using either the
autoinitialize or manual initialize method.
The auto-initialization method is described in Autoinitializing
the IP Address Parameters on page 2-19 . The manual
initialization method is described in Manually Initializing the
IP Address Parameters on page 2-22 .
