[cobbler] Re: How to Change the boot Device order after a PXE installation of Virtualbox VM
pxe_just_once will allow a system to still dhcp (if system profile is not set to static-ip...), but will not do the pxe handoff..forcing boot from other options available in bios.

[cobbler] Re: How to Change the boot Device order after a PXE installation of Virtualbox VM
There is a way to have cobbler disable DHCP after the install. I'd have to login to work to tell you how to do it. What I do is what Locane said. Set the boot to Disk first, DHCP/PXE 2nd. First VM harddisk fails, so DHCP/PXE is the next step. Then cobbler installs the OS. The next boot attempt goes to the OS (because the boot order says disk first...)

There are multiple reasons why teaming is better than bonding and fiber. I am also making an attempt to get Johan an answer instead of conjecture.

Re: [cobbler] [EXTERNAL] Re: DHCP with custom MAC Addresses?
What can you see from the VM? Does it pick up dhcp but fail tftp? Is cobbler generating the necessary file for pxe? i.e. /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/00-ma-ca-dd-re-ss I am under the impression that netboot is enabled (as you have stated using cobblers generated MAC works). But I still feel the need to ask if you have it setup for a static address, or are pulling from a pool. If from a pool, are sure you have not ran out of leases? What do you see on the VM console when pxe fails?

Re: [cobbler] [EXTERNAL] Re: DHCP with custom MAC Addresses?
I certainly hope not. Are you sure you are feeding it legit MACs? Are you using the command line app, web interface, or the API to add/edit MACs?

Re: [cobbler] DHCP with custom MAC Addresses?
Custom MAC addresses work with the 2.4 branch. Cobbler uses Pythons netaddr to check the validity of MACs.

You should be able to have the MS Server relay the DHCP request to the cobbler server (pretty sure its a spec of DHCP) but I do not know how.

Establish a base profile. Apply changes to the profile and the systems will inherit it. You can override the changes at the system level of cobbler for exceptions.
