NIM fails to successfully network-boot an LPAR and install AIX. The administrator wants to first rule
out network configuration or routing to be the cause. Which sequence of steps can be employed to
debug the network-boot process?

A.
1. Comment out the bootps entry from the /etc/inetd.conf file on the LPAR.
2. Stop all running processes.
3. Restart inetd using the ‘refresh -s inetd’ command.
4. Flush the ARP table on the NIM master.
5. Initiate the network boot of the LPAR.

B.
1. Comment out the bootps entry from the /etc/inetd.conf file on the NIM master.
2. Stop all running bootpd processes.
3. Restart inetd using the ‘refresh -s inetd’ command.
4. Start bootpd from the command line : /usr/sbin/bootpd -s -d -d -d’
5. Initiate the network boot of the LPAR.

C.
1. Comment out the bootps entry from the /etc/inetd.conf file on the NIM master.
2. Stop all running bootpd processes.
3. Restart inetd using the ‘refresh -s inetd’ command.
4. Start bootpd from the command line : /usr/sbin/bootpd -g nfs -d -d d
5. Initiate the network boot of the LPAR.

D.
1. Comment out the bootps entry from the /etc/inetd.conf file on the NIM master.
2. Stop all running bootpd processes.
3. Restart the effected daemons using the ‘/etc/rc.tcpip’ command.
4. Start bootpd from the command line : ‘/usr/sbin/bootpd -s -d -d -d’
5. Initiate the network boot of the LPAR.
