no dhcp with zenworks imaging cd

[fadamor]

We're seeing this as well. The Imaging CD is not properly requesting a DHCP address. You can verify this by loading the CD to the BASH prompt and instead of running IMG, type IFCONFIG. If it was working properly, you'd see two interfaces... the loopback and the ethernet. What we're seeing is just the loopback. Our work-around is to manually force a DHCP lease renewal at this point using the following commands at the BASH prompt:

ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0 (an error about DNS services returns)
dhcpcd eth0 -n

If you run another "ifconfig" you should now see the ethernet interface and can now run the IMG utility.

Hi All,

I have a problem after a server change with the newest ZenWorks Imaging CD and a Netware 6.5 SP7 server and ZenWorks 3.2 SP2. So I changed the server this weekend from a netware 5.1 server to this new server with netware 6.5 sp7. I created last Friday with the new ZenWorks 7 imaging cd (dated from March 2008) a new image from a new HP PC and saved it on the old server with the ZenWorks imaging server. So now I have switched all the data and services to the new server and all works fine extept of the Imaging with this CD. The dhcp server works as expected, but when I boot with this new ZenWorks CD the server didn't offer me a dhcp address. I see during the boot process, that the client sends a dhcp request, but no offer from the server. I didn't use PXE and I didn't have installed the PXE options. So can somebody give me a solution why the dhcp server doesn't offer me a address when I'm booting with this ZenWorks CD ?

Thanks,
Ralf
