Hi Antoine,

This is the default behaviour of the nodes that have uEFI, i.e. if you pxe boot using the uefi, then the default boot options get changed to the HDD i.e. redhat. I personally change the rinstall script in /opt/xcat/bin to add a rsetboot <nodename> net, so that this command is run before any install (as Xiao suggested).

This way I can be assured that the machine will boot of the network without me having to worry about it.

With blades you could also change the boot order using rbootseq <nodename> net,hd

I hope that this is helpful

regards,
Arif

Hello,

I usually did my installs putting "legacy only" as the first entry in the boot order list. This time I did not do it and an EFI install was performed, somehow the bootlist was changed and <redhat> appeared as the first entry. The install ran fine, but when I try to reinstall the blade boots from its internal disk where a RHEL 6.3 is installed rather than from PXE and does not reinstall.

Any idea what I might have done wrong ?

I worked around that pressing F12 in the console and forcing a PXE boot, but I'd like to set things right so this is not necessary anymore.

Thank you for your help.
