Hi, I'm just playing around with the 'intnet' features of virtualbox on my Mac, it's a great way to carry a VLAN of test machines around with you :)
Quick question : Is there a way to specfiy which NIC PXE should take place on? Bit of background if it helps : I've got a dual-homed VM setup - 1 interface is NAT, the other is intnet - running Cobbler (kickstart/dhcp/dns service) and I'm about to setup a load of other VMs to PXE boot off it. If I set them up with : VBoxManage modifyvm pixie -memory 512 -boot1 disk -boot2 net -nic1 intnet then they PXE boot off the Cobbler VM fine, but obviously they can't see the outside world. One option is to packet forward on the Cobbler machine, that should work fine. But I wondered if it might be easier to give them another NATted interfaces; something like: VBoxManage modifyvm pixie -memory 512 -boot1 disk -boot2 net -nic1 intnet -nic2 (nat or hostif .....) So they'd PXE boot off the 'intnet' network to be installed, but they could reach the outside world directly after that (via nic2). I read that NAT interfaces support PXE boots now (where virtualbox itself acts as the PXE server), which is awesome, but might get a bit confusing (and I'd like this to work for host networking too ideally). Hopefully that makes some kind of sense. So back to the question : Is there a way to specfiy which NIC PXE should take place on?
