Hi Alanoud PXE is not commonly used with VCL, unless you also have xCAT configured, and 'filename' option may be ignored - you can have it in your dhcpd.conf file, but it won't be used.
When you make reservation VCL clones/copies VM disks for you and new VM then booted from a local disk. There is no need to PXE-boot in this case. If you are provisioning physical computers with VCL/xCAT then you will need PXE-boot and /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 is default location for pxelinux.0 file, so it should work OK. -- Thank you, Dmitri Chebotarov VCL Sys Eng, Engineering & Architectural Support, TSD - Ent Servers & Messaging 223 Aquia Building, Ffx, MSN: 1B5 Phone: (703) 993-6175 | Fax: (703) 993-3404 From: Alanoud J <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Friday, April 26, 2013 14:06 To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: VCL host name problem I am using KVM hypervisor.

That appears to be a new path, at least I've not seen that one before. Depending on what your using, pxe may not be needed.
