[Planetlab-devel] MyPLC boot server ports

[William Holloway]

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, after restarting PLC, I recreated the usb 
boot device with a fresh download of the bootcd usb image. In watching 
the node boot process, I can see that the boot server is resolvable on 
the modified unprotected PLC_BOOT_PORT setting so I'm confident that the 
bootcd port mappings match the plc configuration. The boot sequence 
fails during the protected SSL requests to the boot server if the 
PLC_BOOT_SSL_PORT is not 443. I disabled the iptables service on the 
boot server to rule out any possibility of the request being blocked on 
that end. I'd be grateful if anyone has any further ideas or suggestions.

Thanks again,
William
