[Sisuite-users] ANNOUNCE: New version of pxeconfig utilities
0.6.2: - Fixed a bug in the non-interactive mode reported by and fixed by: Charles Galpin from defenderhosting.com This version can be downloaded from: ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/pxeconfig.tar.gz Here is the README: = PXE-utilities - This is a release of the SARA package of utilities that we use to boot our nodes with PXE-enabled network cards. This was developed because we always want to use the PXE-enabled network card as our first boot device. With pxelinux, which is a derivative of syslinux, you can specify with a PXE configuration file how the node must boot. This configuration is placed in,e.g. '/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg' directory. In our setup we have a default setup. The default setup is to boot from harddisk. When a node boots it fetches the default configuration file and the configuration file tells the node to boot from the harddisk. This setup is used for nodes that have already been installed by systemimager. At SARA we have developed the following strategy how to install a fresh node. 1) The ip-address in our setup is known for the new node. So we make a link in the '/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg' directory to a pxe config file which tells that it has to fetch the kernel en root filesystem from our bootserver, eg: 0A000A02 --- default.node_install (10.0.10.2) 2) The client starts and uses the systemimager software to install the node. The last line of installation script connects to a daemon on the bootserver. This daemon will remove the PXE config file for this node. 3) The node reboots and will use the default pxe config file which will instruct the node to boot from harddisk. This release contains the following utilities: pxeconfigd) This is daemon that removes the pxe configuration file of a node. pxeconfig) With this program we can specify which pxe config file a node or nodes must use. This utility will create the links in '/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg' hexls) Is a utility that diplays a directory, and, if in this directory contains HEX files, it will convert them to IP-numbers. All these utilities are written in Python.

Re: [Sisuite-users] client pxe configuration
the only error i get now is
PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout
my /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file looks like this:
default: on
service tftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol= udp
wait= yes
user= root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot -r blksize
}

On the clint machine however, it shows that it got
an
ip from dhcp and then
TFTP.
PXE-01: File not found
PXE-E3B:TFTP Error-File not found
PXE-MOF:Exiting Intel Boot Agent
and in /tftpboot you have a kernel, an initrd and a
pxelinux.cfg directory?
you have to have syslinux installed on the
systemimager server.
I'm gueesing it has something to do with my tftp
but
I'm not sure what about it?

Hi All,
I have successfully configured my dhcp server
but
each
time I issue the si_mkclientboot --verbose
--netboot
--clients www1 command I get
did you add it to /etc/hosts, and to
/var/lib/systemimager/scripts/hosts?
can't find an ip address for www1!
below are some of my files
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
