Hi,
We have some iDataPlex dx360 M3 nodes with UEFI firmware. We were
directed to use "elilo" as the netboot method in the noderes table, which
is supposed to point it to the elilo-x64.efi entry in /tftpboot, but when
we "makedhcp -n" and then "makedhcp -a", it creates entries such as the
following:
host idpx8n004eth0 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet e4:1f:13:f0:32:00;
fixed-address 172.20.129.54;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "idpx8n004eth0";
supersede host-name = "idpx8n004eth0";
supersede server.next-server = ac:14:80:14;
supersede server.filename = "yaboot";
}
or even in some cases:
host idpx8n010eth0 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet e4:1f:13:f0:3b:b4;
fixed-address 172.20.129.60;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "idpx8n010eth0";
supersede host-name = "idpx8n010eth0";
if option vendor-class-identifier = "ScaleMP" {
supersede server.filename = "vsmp/pxelinux.0";
} else {
supersede server.filename = "pxelinux.0";
}
supersede server.next-server = ac:14:80:14;
}
The yaboot entry is bad news because when the node is booted it tries
loading that file and it ends up hanging the IMM adapter and we have to go
manually power cycle it. The pxelinux.0 is less of a problem, but still
not correct. Our noderes entries look like this:
[root@idpx1mgr ~]# tabdump noderes|egrep 'idpx8n004|idpx8n010'
"idpx8n004eth0",,"elilo","172.20.128.20","172.20.128.20",,,,,,,"172.20.128.20",,,,,,
"idpx8n010eth0",,"elilo","172.20.128.20","172.20.128.20",,,,,,,"172.20.128.20",,,,,,
[root@idpx1mgr ~]#
Can someone point us in the right direction here, so that we end up
loading the correct (elilo-x64.efi) file on PXE boot?
Thanks!
