4.4 Provisioning OpenVMS Using HP SIM
4.4.10 Limitation with Deploying OpenVMS on Multiple Target Servers
Simultaneously
V8.4
There is a known issue with the TFTP server on Infoserver, which may prevent
deploying OpenVMS Version 8.4 simultaneously on two or more target servers
when using InfoServer booting with memory disk. In this scenario, InfoServer
booting on the target server reports network errors when loading the memory
disk similar to the below trace. These errors may prevent booting the target
server successfully from InfoServer.

To workaround this issue, when deploying OpenVMS Version 8.4 simultaneously
on two or more target servers with Provisioning, avoid using InfoServer boot
with memory disk option as follows: In Step 2 of Provisioning in HPSIM GUI,
under the "LAN Boot Settings" section of all target servers, select the setting for
OpenVMS Version combo box as "V8.3-1H1 or below".
