we’re updating to a new ipxe[1] soon, so you can give it a try if it maybe 
works (i dont’ see the option added though) or if there is some other way how 
to do that
otherwise I guess you would have to recompile, but if you bump up the version 
yourself and put it into your own repo it should always have a precedence

[ovirt-users] ipxe and nslookup

2016-06-01 Thread Cam Mac
Hi,

I am using pxeboot with oVirt, which I believe uses ipxe as it's pxe
implementation. In our kickstart menu, we need to do a hostname lookup to
choose the appropriate local server as there are different boot servers in
different global locations. For this, we are currently relying upon the
'nslookup' command, which is available in Xen and VMWare pxe command sets,
but the oVirt/KVM one does not have this command enabled. I've tried a
workaround using php commands, e.g.:

 
 set wds 
 set net0/next-server ${wds}

However, this does not work. Is there a possibility to get the nslookup
function enabled in ipxe (apparently it is a compile time option). I could
probably recompile the pxe rom, and substitute it on my install, but then
when I update it will get clobbered.

Or is there another way of getting this functionality?

Thanks,

Cam
