Almost, I’ve had more reliable success if you ensure that the private network of the server & primary network of the client are forced on to the vbox network (assuming you are using Virtualbox.)
# PXE Server config.vm.define "jumpstart" do |jumpstart| jumpstart.vm.network :private_network, :ip => "10.241.19.11" # force the secondardy nic to the same vboxnet as the PXE node jumpstart.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |virtualbox| # put primary network interface into hostonly network segement virtualbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--nic1", "hostonly"] virtualbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--hostonlyadapter2", "vboxnet7"] end # PXE client config.vm.define :"node01" do |vm_config| vm_config.vm.box = "blank-amd64” # Use an empty box vm_config.vm.box_url = "https://s3.amazonaws.com/fnichol/vagrant-base-boxes/blank-amd64-20121109.box"; # wait up to 10min before declaring the node dead (from Vagrant's POV) # the user can still just ctrl-c the `vagrant upi node01` and # vagrant will clean up vm_config.vm.boot_timeout = 600 vm_config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |virtualbox| virtualbox.gui = true unless ENV['NO_GUI’] # generate a new mac address for each node, to make them unique virtualbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--macaddress1", "auto"] # put primary network interface into hostonly network segement virtualbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--nic1", "hostonly"] virtualbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--hostonlyadapter1", "vboxnet7"] # pxe boot the node #virtualbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--boot1", "net"] end end I’ve also noticed that the version of iPXE that ships with Virtualbox is quite old, and didn’t like some of the kernels I was working with, luckily it’s easy enough to use the ipxe.iso from ipxe.org to use newer versions of the iPXE code (the alternative box below is needed because Fletcher’s box used above doesn’t have an IDE interface defined): vm_config.vm.box = "boot-from-iso" vm_config.vm.box_url = "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7196/boot-from-iso.box” vm_config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |virtualbox| virtualbox.gui = true unless ENV['NO_GUI'] # VirtualBox ship old iPXE code, so boot off an up to date # iPXE ISO instead virtualbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--boot1", "dvd"] virtualbox.customize ["storageattach", :id, "--storagectl", "IDE", "--port", "0", "--device", "0", "--type", "dvddrive", "--medium", "ipxe.iso"] Hope that helps - if not ping me, I’m working on 2 different PXE projects in Vagrant at the moment. -- Simon McCartney On 11 September 2015 at 00:08:57, Joaquin Menchaca ([email protected]) wrote: Say, if I wanted to do like, a pxeboot server, would my vagrant file look like this (assuming my server has dhcpd on it)?
