Hi Herb
I got a similar error for a PV image. While setting it up I had used dd command to increase its size to add a couple of partitions. It also has a shared disk attached for RAC usage. It was rebooting fine for the first few times. Now after a complete shutdown it is returning the boot error message as below:
Start - /OVS/running_pool/882_szguestvm5_Sharon_RAC_N2
PowerOn Failed : Result - failed:<Exception: return=>failed:<Exception: ['xm', 'create', '/var/ovs/mount/D56A962F3D1046B6AE4839A28EB72B96/running_pool/882_szguestvm5_Sharon_RAC_N2/vm.cfg'] => Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!

PXE boot issues with Windows Deployment Services

I am trying to move from FOG to WDS after running in to serious UEFI issues with FOG.Right now I'm stuck with machines PXE booting to WDS server.I keep getting the message ProxyDHCP service didn't reply to request on port 4011.WDS and DHCP are on different servers. There are plenty of IP addresses available, and they are on the same subnet. I did originally configure DHCP option 60, but deleted that option after troubleshooting. I have configured Windows Firewall to allow inbound and outbound connections on UDP ports 67-69 and 4011 on both DHCP server and WDS server. I have also tried just using IP address in DHCP option 66. As for option 67, I don't even know the right bootfile name to use at this point, figured I'd tackle that if I ever get past this error message.I have tried restarting the WDS service several times, as well as the...

Strange PXE Boot Issue

This issue has me stumped. I've ordered in a new Dell system (Optiplex 3030 AIO) and I'm having issues PXE booting it, but only on some vlans. If I pxe boot in my work room where I do most of the imaging it pxe boots fine. If I try to pxe boot out on the
floor (same site) then it loads the boot.sdi but after this it tries to load the WIM file and it is very slow and it eventually fails. The message is that there is an inaccessible boot device.
The strange thing is if I take another modal desktop or even laptop, it pxe boots fine in those locations.
Something to note is I do have an SSD in the Optpliex 3030, however I have had SSDs in my laptops as well.
I have investigated the smspxe.log file and found that when it starts to load the WIM file I get an error saying "Failed to read PXE settings. The system cannot find the file specified. Error 80070002. This is further followed up with some warnings
about certificates not set.
I should also mention that I have played around with the PXE registry setting RamDiskTFTPBlockSize. I have tried all values up to 16384 with no change noticed.
Does this make sense at all?

Hi,
Really weird :( I never had this issue, but based on your input, the issue appears before the wizard so I don't think it has anything to do with the task sequences, OSes or Applications. Here's what I would do to investigate further :
Check UnattendPE_x86/64.xml to verify if there is a step running before litetouch.vbs that could cause this issue
Check WinPE log files (Netsetup.log, wpeinit.log) for additional info
If possible Try without drivers on a Hyper-V VM (Hyper-V additions are already part of the core Win7 image, so no need to add drivers)
Good luck, if you find anything, please share the solution here :)

PXE boot issue with DHCP and SCCM server on different subnets

I'm working with a client on the operating system deployment module of SCCM.
Their network configuration currently has a single large subnet for client
computers with a DHCP server on the same subnet. The SCCM subnet is
configured on a seperate subnet with no DHCP server on the subnet. We want to
configure client computers to be able to boot using the PXE client to deploy
OS images to the machines but can not get PXE-boot to work correctly.
Also, the client does not want to make changes to their network
infrastructure routers or switches to remedy this problem. Are there settings
on the DHCP or SCCM servers we can implement to make this work? If so, what
needs to be installed or configured on each server. We currently already have
WDS installed on the SCCM server and the SCCM server is configured as a PXE
Service Point within SCCM. Both WDS and the PXE Service Point seem to be working fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary

SCCM 2012 pxe boot issue

My test machines cannot PXE boot.
My lab environment is very simple:
10.10.0.0/24 subnet
10.10.0.5 = Server2012, DHCP, DNS, SQL Server 2008 R2 Sp2
10.10.0.7 = Server2012, SCCM2012
All machines are Oracle VM Box virtual machines connecting through the same virtual network.
Setup the PXE service from DP properties. I let SCCM install WDS. WDS in Server
Manager does not have a server node, but the WDS service is running. DP PXE tab is configured as follows:
"Enable PXE support for clients" is checked
"Allow this distribution point to respond to incoming PXE requests" is checked
"Enable unknown computer support" is checked
"Require a password when computers use PXE" is not checked
"User device affinity" is set to "Allow user device affinity with automatic approval"
PXE is configured to respond on all network interfaces
The PXE server response delay is 0 seconds
The DHCP server has options configured as follows:
Option 66: 10.10.0.7
Option 67: smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com
Both DP and MP on SCCM server are configured for HTTP.
Both x86 and x64 boot images have been distributed to DP. The media was updated after
PXE was enabled on the DP.
Both x86 and x64 boot images have "Deploy this image from the PXE service point" enabled on the Data Source tab of their properties

Troubleshooting PXE boot issue

SCCM R2 not able to PXE boot from Surface pro. I am new to environment. How can I tell if PXE broadcasts are making it to device and to sccm ? I recieve the following output in CMTRACE in SMSPXE.log .. Am I doing something completely wrong ?

smspxe.log will display the MAC address if the broadcast reached the server.
You have to use Wireshark or Netmon if you want to find out if the response reaches the client.

PXE Boot issues with Latitude E5450.

Our SCCM 2012 is SP1 and it does not support Windows 8.1.
I had tried to capture the OS through network but there were issues connecting and smsts.log indicated share not reachable. Hence, I captured the OS in the D:\ of the machine.
Now after creating TS and deploying the OSD machine boots to PXE and starts to download boot image files and instantly restarts to Windows. I have performed below steps..
1. Got the network drivers and updated the boot image with the same
2. Checked the BIOS settings and time is updated correctly
3. Used an old boot image that was used to capture another model laptop with Windows 8.1 and still same issue.
Getting the below errors in smsts.log

Any advise would be helpful..

Our issue with the Latitude E5450 ended up being due to a boot image that wasn't being properly updated and/or pointed to during the task sequence set up. There also seemed to be some strangeness with the replication because the WIM file listed on
the server file system was showing as, for example, boot.XXXX.XXXX.wim (double name). As a result, when we would update the boot image with the correct NIC driver, the system was still pointing to, for example, boot.XXXX.wim.
We ended up re-creating the boot image from scratch using our base boot.wim image and using the 19.2.0.0/12.12.50.4 driver version for the I218-LM NIC, found at the download link below. If you recreate the boot image, don't forget to re-add all of the
NIC drivers, redistribute the boot image, and change which boot image your Task Sequence will be pointing to.

T430 PXE boot issues

First off let me list my hardware/software
MDT/WDS server:
MDT 2012
Windows server 2008 R2
I have a fully working MDT PXE server with a WDS images. Basically I have a MDT server that gets the PXE request and then boots off the WDS image to start the imaging process. This works fine on the lenovo thinkcenters ok and I can boot off the CD from the MDT server. But when I boot from the network card I get no response or no DHCP.
- I have downloaded all the drivers for the Thinkpad and injected them into the MDT and WDS for the WINPE image
- I have updated the BIOS to the latest ver 2.09
- I can boot from the cd just fine to my server and pull an ip
Not sure why this laptop model is failing on the boot process to the network.. Anyone see this issue?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Resolved by applying settings "Port Fast - Enable" to the port of Cisco Switch connected to the laptop or pc.

PXE Boot Issue

Hi folks,
It's been a while since I last setup my SCCM server to do OSD. I have currently just setup a new server to do this again, but I think I'm missing a few steps to get the OSD working correctly. I have WDS installed, setup PXE Service Point inside SCCM, and also have added the x86 and x64 boot images under OSD section of configmgr console. I can't remember if I have to add those same boot images to the WDS console as well, or what other steps I need to do to get this thing pushing out my os images again. Anyone point me to some docs or soemthing helpful it would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jay

Hi ChrisMullins, thanks x For your post, it may help me in my problem described here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/a83237d8-55d7-4b99-bc1c-10c3bbf5aef2 .
Please correct me if I wrong:
1.     Network configuration:
1.1.   DHCP options (http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/bootp/options.htm):
1.1.1. Option 66 - TFTP server name
1.1.2. Option 67 – Boot file name
1.1.3. Option 60 – This is value tell PXE clients where to find the OS deployment server
In other way my DHCP scope must be configured:
# Configure
option 66 "<FQDN of SCCM server>"
option 67 "SMSBoot\X86\wdsnbp.com"
# MUST NOT be configures
option 60 not configured
1.2.   Configure Cisco ( switch or router) options:
1.2.1. Configure allow to transmit all dhcp and bootp packets by using either one of commands:
1.2.1.1.         ip dhcp relay information trust-all (Description: Configure all interfaces on a router as trusted sources of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay agent information option, use the ip dhcp relay information trust-all command in global configuration mode. To restore the interfaces to their default behavior, use the no form of the command).
1.2.1.2.         ip dhcp relay information trusted (Description: Description: Configure selected interfaces on a router as trusted sources of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay agent information option)
1.2.2. Configure allow to transmit all dhcp and bootp packets directly to DHCP server using command ip helper-address <IP address>( Description: This subcommand tells the router to forward UDP broadcasts, including BootP, received on this interface to <IP address>)
1.2.3. Configure allow to transmit all dhcp and bootp packets directly to PXE server using command ip helper-address <IP address>
So Cisco must be configured as follows:
# Configure router to permit all dhcp and bootp packets
ip dhcp relay information trust-all
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to dhcp server
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP broadcast packets from client go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???
ip helper-address <IP Addres of DHCP Server>
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to Server with PXE Service point
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP broadcast packets from client go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???
ip helper-address <IP Addres of PXE Server>
Or more secure manner configuration must be as follows:
# Configure router to permit all dhcp and bootp packets
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP and BootP broadcast packets go>
ip dhcp relay information trusted
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to dhcp server
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP and BootP broadcast packets go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???
ip helper-address <IP Addres of DHCP Server>
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to Server with PXE Service point
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP and BootP broadcast packets go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???

Issues with Boot Images & PXE Booting Since SP1 Install

Good Afternoon All -
I recently updated to SP1, had some issues, but they got resolved. Now, though, I'm having an issue booting to PXE as well as updating any boot images created
before SP1 was installed. Booting to USB Bootable media using a newly created boot image seems to work fine.
Boot Images
When I update my DPs for any of my boot images in SCCM, they fail and i get the below error:
Error: The wizard detected the following problems when updating the boot image.
• Failed to install required components into the boot image
The SMS Provider reported an error.: ConfigMgr Error Object:
instance of SMS_ExtendedStatus
• Description = "Failed to insert OSD binaries into the WIM file";
• ErrorCode = 2152205056;
• File = "e:\\nts_sccm_release\\sms\\siteserver\\sdk_provider\\smsprov\\sspbootimagepackage.cpp";
• Line = 4566;
• ObjectInfo = "CSspBootImagePackage::PreRefreshPkgSrcHook";
• Operation = "ExecMethod";
• ParameterInfo = "SMS_BootImagePackage.PackageID=\"BBS0012F\"";
• ProviderName = "WinMgmt";
• StatusCode = 2147749889;
I've even gone as far as removing all drivers from the boot image, but still get the same message. I was able to create a couple of
new MDT boot images which seem to work fine, though. I am not sure which log file is for boot images, but nothing appeared in distmgr.log.
PXE Booting Issue
After trying many things, I removed PXE config from my site and uninstalled WDS then started all over again. Here's what I did and my results. Please tell me what I'm missing...
After uninstall & server reboot, I enabled PXE + every option in DP tab in SCCM
It automatically installed WDS (same server) and added the two boot images I had checked for PXE use. one x64 and one x86.
I checked my DHCP Scope whose values hadn't changed sine it worked (that I know of). They are:
Option #66: 192.168.20.37 (SCCM Server/DP/PXE)
Option #67 \boot\x86\wdsnbp.com. I've tried \boot\x86\pxeboot.com as well as each of these with x64.
When I PXE boot from a workstation, I receive an IP, a bit of info, then it goes to Contacting Server.... When trying one of the boot files above, I was prompted for F12, but receved a blue screen with error. When trying all other boot files,
they just hang at Contacting Server until they timeout.
I looked at SMSPXE.log and found something interesting...
The IDs for the two boot images I have assigned to PXE are ABC003B3 & ABC00B36. In the smspxe.log, though, it keeps repeating "could not find boot image ABC0012F! 12F does exist and is a boot image,
but not the one I want to use by any means and does not have PXE checked.
I went ahead and checked 12F, updated DPs (which failed - see above); unchecked it; then updated the DPs again. PXEBoot.log showed that it was trying to remove the 12F files from RemoteInstall which was a good sign. I then restarted the WDS service
and tried PXE booting again. Yet again, it failed and was still looking for 12F.
Any suggestions / Ideas??? Thanks!
UPDATE 1
I just changed option #67 to \smsboot\x86\pxeboot.com then restarted the WDS service. I booted to PXE and this time was asked to hit F12. I did so and it looked as if it would work.
Instead, I got a blue screen with the following error:
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
The boot configuration disk contains errors or is missing
file: boot\BCD
Error Code: 0x000000f
I think that it's the same error as before, but is blue instead of black due to new Win8ADK perhaps. Thanks

I just read that others with this error checked DISM.log. I did so when running a DP update for the boot image and got the below errors:

Hi,
Are your using the WDS for the Windows deploy? A network boot program (NBP) is the first file that is downloaded and executed as part of the network boot process and it controls
the beginning of the boot experience (for example, whether or not the user must press F12 to initiate a network boot). NBPs are specific to both the architecture and firmware of the client. You must accounting the screen press F12 to allow the system boot
from the WDS. The VMware® workstation PXE booting issue please ask your software vendor.

Yoga 13 - Compatible USB to ethernet devices for PXE booting

Hi there,
I've recently been looking for a means to pxe boot the lenovo yoga 13 to enable me to then image it. After reading that pxe booting is possible I went out and bought a StarTech usb to ethernet adaptor (USB21000S2) but have had no luck so far.. In other postsI've read that pxe booting is only supported if using the official lenovo usb to ethernet adaptor. We're using FOG as our imaging solution (if thats of any use)
Please can someone confirm if only the official adaptor is supported.
Regards
Simon

Were you able to find any? I am also very interested in finding one. I just ordered one of these the lenovo 0A36322 to see if it will work, but it is only 100mb and not sure if it will work or not.

HP Elitebook 8560w Won't Boot UP -- Disk Read Error Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart

Hello. I have an Elitebook 8560w, that won't boot up. The screen says "Disk Read Error Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart". The screen isn't all black...there are some random colored square pixels with a random flashing !, but it's mostly black.
I've run the diagnostics and the F4 Hard Disk Test has passed everytime I've run it. I can hear the hard drive running, so mechanically it's okay (not sure on the logic side).
The F3 Run-in Test fails under the Memory Test, it reads "Run-in test failed - Failed Memory Address 0x76B99000 Pattern expected - 0XFEFFFF Pattern Read - OxFFFFFF
I tried a new 4GB DDDR RAM (removed the old one), and it hasn't helped. I should add before I changed RAM, it failed memory test and said "Disk Not Found".
That made me think it was the hard drive, but the hard drive test has always passed.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm lost. I have a new drive and ram coming from HP, but hoping I can salvage info on HDD.
Also...the computer was set up with Windows 7 as new, but my company reimages everyone's computer and installs XP. So I'm not sure running the HP CD (assuming I can find it) would even help.

Disk read failure and disk not found are classic signs of a hard drive failure. The memory failed the test, so it looks like this had two issues at once.
The good news is that the right parts are on their way. If you want to save your data, do not use the recovery disks for the system. They will wipe the hard drive if it is still functional for them.
With regards to retrieving your data, have you talked to the IT team yet? Most IT departments have a process for data retrieval on company equipment.
If they do not have a process setup to do that, then you could try getting a notebook hard drive external enclosure. They usually run fairly cheap for a basic enclosure and that is enough to connect the hard drive externally to a different computer using a USB cable to copy data from it. This would work provided they do not encrypt the hard drive. If they do encrypt it, contact the IT team for their process as encryption limits the methods that are available.

VM will not boot after moving using Failover Cluster Manager - "a disk read error occurred......"

My current Configuration:
3 node cluster, using clustered shared storage and about 22 VM's.   The Host servers are running 2012 Data Center while all guest are running 2012 Standard. The SAN is EqualLogic and we are using HIT Kit 4.5.
I have a CSV that is running out of space, so I created another CSV so that I could move some of the VM's to a new home.    I tested this by creating a test VM, and moved it successfully 3 times.     I then moved an actual
LIVE VM and while it seemed to move ok, it will now not start.   The message is "a disk read error occurred Press ctrl+alt+del to restart".     I moved the test VM and it failed as well.
I have read several things about this, but nothing seems to relate to my specific issue.   I have verified that VSS is working and free of errors as well.    From the Settings menu for the VM, if I select "Inspect" the drive,
the properties all look fine.    It is a VHDX and both the current file size and maximum disk size seem correct.
The VM's were moved using the "move - virtual machine storage" option within Failover Cluster Manager.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

Lets see if I can answer all of those and I appreciate the brain storming.   This really needs to work, correctly.
1. The Storage is moving.
2.   VM's and SAN are on same device.
3. No, my Clustered Shared Volume, CSV, is out of room, (more one that later)
4. No, I actually have 2 sans grouped together.   However, I'm moving the VM', form one CSV to another CSV on the Same san. EqualLogic PS 6110 is the one I am trying to move VMS around on, and the other SAN not involved in any way except
for it is in a SAN group is an EqualLogic PS6010.
5. No error During move, it took about 5-10 minutes, no error messages.   Note, I did a test and it worked GREAT 3 times.   Now both a live VM, and the test VM are doing the same thing.
6. No, the machine is not to large.   The test making was a 50 gig drive, just 2012 standard installed with updates.   The live VM was a 75 gig VM that was my Trend Micro Server, or anti-virus host.
7. Expand the existing SCV?   Yes I should be able to, but there is an issue there.   The volume was expanded correctly, Equallogic sees the added space, Fail Over cluster manager sees the added space, however disk manager only
sort of does.    When looking at disk manager, there are 2 areas that tell you a little bit about the drive.   The top part and then the bottom part.   The top part only shows 500G, the original size, while the bottom part
says that it is 1 TB in size.   I call Dell's technical support and after they looked at it I was told by the technician that they had seen this a couple of times and the only way to fix it was to move all the VM's to another CSV and delete the troubled
CSV.   I thought about adding more space to the troubled CSV, but its on a production server with about 12 VM's running on it and I did not want to take a chance.   The Trend VM was running on CSV-1 and working fine.
I must admit that the test VM, was on CSV-2.    I moved the Test VM from csv-2 to csv-3 back and forth several times with no errors.   The Trend Server was on CSV-1 and was moved to CSV-3, however it failed. Again, I then moved
the test VM from CSV-2 to CSV-3 and it failed the same way.   I could not test the "TEST - VM" on csv-1 due to csv-1 not having enough space.
8.   I did disable the network from the VM to see if that mattered it did not.
9.   I have not yet had a chance to connect the VHDX to a new VM, but I will do that in about an hour, hopefully.    Once I am able to test that suggestion I will post the results as well.
Again, thanks for all the suggestions and comments, as I had rather have lots to look at and try.   I hope I answered them well enough.

GT780 Disk Read Error, Boots fine after 15-45 minutes

Hi.
I've been having a problem with my laptop for the past few months now. When I start it up I end up getting a disk read error but after a short time it seems to boot up properly. I will have this problem for a couple days and then the problem disappears for about a month then reappears for couple days then disappears for the same amount time. I've sent it in once but the problem started again about 1 month after it was sent back. Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be?
