Re: [gPXE] How to modify the code can not get DHCP information on the2nd

[Miller, Shao]

Good day sqwbwh,

 

I'm sorry that it didn't seem to work.  I guess that you have to use an
embedded script in gpxe.kkpxe, after all.

 

  #!gpxe

  set use-cached 1

  dhcp net0

  sanboot ${root-path}

 

I hope this works.

Hello.

I am trying to find more information about the xPXE client in the HP 
DL580 G7, which I believe has an embedded QLogic NC375i quad-NIC .


I know this NIC. :)  It's the (previously NetXen) QLogic Phantom NIC.

This has apparently been shipped with a gPXE client and I am having 
some interoperability problems with a PXE boot server in that the 
client sends a boot request with an empty boot filename despite the 
DHCP ack containing a filename (for TFTP access).


Can you capture the DHCP transaction with Wireshark or 'tcpdump' and 
filter it for DHCP and share the resulting packets as an e-mail 
attachment?  I don't quite understand what you mean by the client 
sending an empty boot filename.  Do you mean it makes a TFTP request 
with an empty filename?  If so, do you have a Control-B CLI?  If so, can 
you please try:


 dhcp net0
 show filename

and report whether or not you got a filename from the DHCP service?

This NIC probably has an older version of gPXE on it, so we should keep 
that in mind.
