Problems using PXE boot to jumpstart an HP client

Hello folks,
I have a Sparc jumpstart server that I am trying to use to jumpstart an HP with Solaris x86. I have gotten the x86 installation stuff installed by mounting the DVD on an x86 system and NFS exporting it to the jumpstart server. This seemed to work just fine.
My problem is PXE boot and DHCP. I have exported the appropriate directories, I have set up the DHCP service, and I can see on the client machine's console that it receives its IP address, but then I get the message "No filename or root path specified." I have a macro defined that points to the pxegrub file, and everything seems to be set up correctly. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I am missing?

Well, we managed to solve the problem with DHCP and PXE boot on the HP Proliant, at least the problem I first posted above. We have run into another problem. Apparently, the problem we had was twofold. First there is some sort of bug in the HP that if there is an LOM on the system you can't use the first network interface to PXE boot, it produces the error message about not finding the filename or root path. So the solution to that was to switch to the second network interface and change the DHCP server to answer that MAC address.
Making changes to the DHCP config on the Solaris jumpstart server somehow made it stop serving IP addresses to the client. As a last ditch attempt we shut down DHCP with the svcadm command and restarted it. This fixed that problem and now the PXE boot finds the pxegrub files and the installation starts up.
Now there is a new problem. We want to do a hands-off jumpstart, but the system pops up an X window and asks for keyboard type and some network and timezone info, and a root password. Then the install seems to proceed to use the profiles listed in the rules.ok file on the jumpstart server. So it does seem to be getting some config options from the jumpstart server, but not enough to be completly hands-off. Is there something we can add to the rules file or beginning script or something to fix this? Anyone have experience or even just a good guess?

Problems with PXE boot for clients

Hi,
I have an environment where I have clients on av VLAN connected to a Cisco 2960X (WS-C2960X-48LPD-L ) with layer 3 configuration. The clients do a PXE boot to get configuration. The thing is that this does not work on all switches. The switches have the exact same configuration, the only thing that differs is Hardware Board Revision Number. (That I can find..) The ones that works has 0x05 and the ones that doesn´t work has 0x12. The PXE server is connected on a different VLAN in the same switch.
I have configured spanning-tree portfast on the interfaces. I have ip-helper on the VLAN. The PXE server is also the DHCP server.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Carina

It seems NIC teaming was configured really incorrectly in this case. Different switches require different configuration with specific settings on the Windows Server side. Sometimes incorrect configurations work when network traffic is low but start behaving
funny when it increases. The reason behind this is Windows hosts sending back answers to its peers via different physical links, and the switch doesn't expect it and drops "incorrect" frames.
You can find detailed description of different teaming modes here:
http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=14004
If you use LACP, be sure to set up port channel on Cisco switches or LACP trunk on HP switches. Otherwise you might want to use the Switch Independent mode.

X86 install problems: using rpc boot params

help! during install on an intel box, install always hangs at the same spot: "configuring /dev and /devices" then: "Using RPC Bootprams for network configuration information." and it never gets any further... after reading some of the other threads, i tried booting off cd 1 of solaris 8 software and when i do that it, after the rpc bootparams message i get: "Skipping interface elx10" and it hangs there... any ideas? any help is very much appreciated

i'm not entirely convinced the problem isn't with the bootable floppy, but when i try to make an image using dd.exe i type: "dd S28DCA0600.3 a:" and get: "S28DCA0600.3: No such file or directory" so then i tried downloading the other image file and get the same thing except with the new image file's name ("S28DCA_FCS.3"), and no, i don't know which image i should be using or why...

Problem using the File Dialog Box in a Client/Server application

I am developping a client-server application using Labview 5.1 . The application on the server acquires data from some instruments and saves it on file, while the application on the clients displayes such acquired data. For doing this I call some routines on the server via the "Open Application vi" (remote connection). All goes well except when I open on the server the "File Dialog Box vi" : in this case the application on the clients is blocked (is blocked the execution of the called vi on the server). Only when
the File Dialog Box on the server is closed, the execution of the called vi on the server starts again.
I need to use the File Dialog Box on the server, but I don' t want to stop at the same time
the clients !!
I need help for resolving such problem.
Many thanks in advance !!!

A call to the file dialog box will call a modal system dialog. So LV can't go on executing VIs in the user interface thread."
Are you sure? I think, that File Dialog, called by LabVIEW File Dialog from Advanced File Functions Palette doesn't blocking any cycles in subVI, which running in UI Thread. Look in my old example (that was prepared for other topic, but may be good for this topic too).
2 linus:
I think, you must a little bit reorganize you application for to do this. You must put your File Dialog into separated cycle. This cycle, of course, will be blocked when File Dialog appear on the screen. But other cy
cle, which responsible for visualization will run continuosly at the same time...

Problem using Java Webstart to kick off CORBA Client

Dear all,
I am currently having a problem in using the Java Webstart to kick off
the CORBA Client, I set up the JNLP file jvm properties as following:
<resources>
<j2se version="1.4*" java-vm-args="-Xms64m -Xmx256m -verbose -esa
-Xnoclassgc -client -Dswing.useSystemFontSettings=false ">
     <resources>
     <property name="vbroker.orb.initRef"
value="NameService=corbaloc::10.35.55.82:20005/NameService"/>
</resources>
</j2se>
</resources>
The problem I have is that when the webstart starting the client, the
client just simply dies during the startup and I find the log message
following:
org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InvalidName
     at com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB.resolve_initial_references(ORB.java:943)
So it is showing that there is problem with the vbroker.orb.initRef
setting, know that if I don't use the webstart to start the client and
simply use the windows batch file, using the jvm properties as:
java -Dvbroker.orb.initRef=NameService=corbaloc::10.31.51.80:20001/NameService
It would work perfectly.
Could you tell if I miss anything when configuing the webstart jnlp
file on this regard? Currently, I think that the only way I can set
the JVM properties in the JNLP file is to use its properties tag to
set the system properties for the application.
Thanks heaps in advance for any help you can give here !!!

Hi, Andre,
No, I have tried both of your suggestion and there was no joy. I still have the following error and the client jvm just crashes during starting up:
org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InvalidName
     at com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB.resolve_initial_references(ORB.java:943)
I believe it is still related to the jvm properties:
<property name="vbroker.orb.initRef" value="NameService=corbaloc::10.35.55.82:20005/NameService"/>
And know that when I used "-Dvbroker.orb.initRef=NameService=corbaloc::10.35.55.82:20005/NameService" in the windows batch file, the client runs ok.
Is this indicating that there is the limitation of using the webstart to invoke CORBA client?
Any further help would be very appreciated!

Creating new OSD task sequence causes PXE boot to fail

I'm running SCCM 2012 on Server 2008 R2. Currently we have a standard task sequence we use for all of our Windows 7 deployments that is working fine. We use PXE boot to load up WinPE to select the task sequence to load and all is good.
I've made a new task sequence to deploy custom configuration settings to a group of computers. I've duplicated much of the original task sequence, using the same boot media. After i deploy the new TS to the All Unknown Computers collection, PXE boot does
not work anymore.
It downloads WDSNBP, starts by DHCP referral, contacts the server. After that I just get a Pending Request ID: number says contacting server then fails. If i go back to my new TS and delete the deployment, all is good again.
Can i create a new task sequence using an existing reference image? Has anyone seen this type of issue before? I see similar issues online, but it seems to be for people that cannot PXE boot at all. My problem is just that the new task sequence seems to
kill PXE boot when it's deployed.

This is from the log file, looks like it can't find the boot image. I'm using the same boot image for both of the task sequences though.

Restrict OSD to PXE boot only

In my environment we wish to only use PXE boot for imaging machines. Is there a conditional check I can add to a task sequence that will cause it to abort if it's not run from a PXE boot? I guess what I'm shooting for is a fail-safe that will
prevent someone from accidentally deploying a task sequence to a collection of computers thus wiping them out. I would hate for someone to wipe out the entire infrastructure. I know when you deploy the task sequence there are options that define
where and how to deploy a task sequence, but what if someone accidentally clicks the wrong option (i.e. config client)? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance...

A very simplistic method would be to set a task sequence variable (for example StartedInWinPE) to true, as the first step in the task sequence, when the task sequence was started in WinPE (use the buildin variable _SMSTSInWinPE for that
check). Then add the rest of the task sequence in a group and use the StartedInWinPE variable as a check to start the group. That way the rest of the task sequence will only run when it was started in WinPE.

Problems PXE booting Gen 2 Virtual Machines after Upgrading to Windows Server 2012 R2

My Current Setup:
I have two virtual machines set up with Hyper V on my Windows Server 2012 Server.
VM1: Configured to boot from an ISO file and runs Clonezilla server.
VM2: Configured to PXE boot using a legacy network adapter, and with a passthrough 250Gb hard disk.
These two VMs are connected to an external Virtual Switch, which allows physical machines to PXE boot to the Clonezilla server.
For the past few months I have been using this setup for two purposes:
1. To clone physical machines to the Clonezilla virtual server (as a backup).
2. To restore those image to the second VM if I find that need to get access to the files on the original image..
This has worked perfectly, except for the fact that the speed of the legacy network adapter on the second VM (which is required to PXE boot) is very slow. But I know this is because of the limitations in how the legacy adapter works...
Now my problem:
I found out that Gen 2 VMs allow you to PXE boot without having use a legacy network adapter, allowing me to image back to the VM faster. So I upgraded the Server to Server 2012 R2 . I then created the same two virtual machines on the R2 server. I can still
PXE boot the Gen 1 VM to the Clonezilla Server but I cannot get the Gen 2 VMs to PXE boot properly. They get an IP address from the Clonezilla Server but then just stop with the following screen. (note: I have disabled the Secure Boot).
Are Gen 2 VMs unable to pull down images from anything other than a WDS Server?

Hi J,
>>Unfortunately WDS is not a solution for us as it is dependent on the PC being part of a domain
If you would like to make the client not join to the domain, please check the box before “Do not join the client to a domain after an installation.” In addition, make sure not to set the client to the domain in the unattend file and do not prestage

Capturing an image to use for PXE boot

I'm using Windows Deployment Services in conjunction with Windows Deployment Terminal (Windows Server 2008) to capture an image from one of our workstations to use as a PXE boot image for future computers. I've created the capture image and PXE booted
to that image, which brings up the "Image Capture" wizard. After capturing the image, I created an install image in WDS using the same .wim file. After trying to PXE boot, the workstation yet again brings up the "Image Capture" wizard.
I then right clicked the image under Boot Images (in WDS) and selected "Create Discover Boot Image." A loading window pops up, but always ends with an error saying something to the extent of the image doesn't have WDSClient Binaries. Does anyone
know what this is or how to fix this? Or even if I'm going about it the right way? If anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it.

Hi,
Yes, you can.
Here are the rough steps:
1.
Install and configure the WDS Server.
2.
Add the Windows 7 boot image to WDS.
3.
Create a Capture Boot Image and add it to Boot Image.
4.
Create a reference Windows 7 computer (install Windows 7, Office and other applications as you like)
5.
Sysprep the Windows 7 computer.
6.
PXE boot the reference Windows 7 computer into capture image on the boot screen and then capture the image.
7.
Upload the captured image to WDS server.
8.
PXE boot clients, choose the captured image to install the system.

PXE Boot Problem

Hello everyone!
I've got a PXE boot server running and I can boot my EEE 701 from it without issue, it gets to the installer but then I get asked for the source of the packages. Now, I don't have an Internet connection to the boot server, so that's not an option. I know I can mount something to /src to have the packages show up, but what am I supposed to mount, and where?
Thanks in advance!
P.S: If you're considering "rtfm" or "Google" as a response as some did on the IRC, don't bother wasting your time to type
I mounted a USB stick with all the packages on to /src (I knew that had to be done) but I thought perhaps the installer would have mounted the packages from the tftp server to /src automatically. So now I don't understand the point of the separate installer CD?

Hmm, do you mean the one from here? If so, it says "ftp-installation only", but I maybe should have made that more clear. I planned support for mounting packages from the tftp-server later (you need to set up nfs for that), but never picked it up again.
It is stitched together rather imperfectly, I just made it because there was no other way of getting an install on an old laptop.
I've totally gone around the houses
yeah, you could just have booted from an usb-stick, right?
Actually no! I had problems with that (although I've done it before) I got an error: "Boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds" and the workaround(s) at http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77815 didn't help, so I figured I'd try the PXE boot.
Look, I'll be straight, I use Arch on an old box as a testing / development server for odd jobs. I left Arch as a desktop user a long time ago for Ubuntu where things "just work" - I don't have time to fix things constantly breaking on my main desktop. I thought I'd give Arch another go as a desktop OS on my EEE but I don't have the time (or inclination) to mess around with it anymore.
Ubuntu is installing from a USB stick as we speak.
Don't get me wrong: I LOVE Arch, as a headless, non-important playing around OS, I don't think I'll be using it as a desktop
P.S: Using Ubuntu has NOTHING to do with the skill level of anyone who chooses to use it. I HATE elitism! (rant over!)

Machines cannot PXE boot using SCCM 2012 DP

There are a lot of posts about PXE boot, but I can't find the common thread to tie them all together. My test machines cannot PXE boot.
My lab environment is very simple:
10.10.0.0/24 subnet
10.10.0.10 = W2k8 R2 DC, DHCP, DNS
10.10.0.11 = SCCM2012 (on W2k8R2 with SQL Server 2008 SP3 and CU4)
All machines are Hyper-V 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 resond 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: 10.10.0.11
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.
I have tried both unknown computer task sequence and a computer import task sequence (old computer association). They all end in abortpxe.com
Complete PXE response is as follows:

=============================================================================================
I've been hammering this for about 10 hours now (or to be honest, it's been hammering me) and it must be something very simple I'm missing. I have a feeling that I'm doing something I used to do in 2007 and whatever that is, it does not work in
2012.
If I connect using boot media, Task Sequences execute perfectly.
TIA,
Tom

Those options are fine when using DHCP options. They must be configured right because ConfigMgr does send a reply to the client ("abortpxe"). It basically tells you that ConfigMgr knows the MAC address and/or SMBIOSGUID of the client, but cannot find
a deployment for it.
Just find ResourceID 16777218 in the console (you might have to add the ResourceID column) and double check if there's an deployment available (properties of the client with resourceID 16777218).

Your answer really helped me. I was searching for 2 days trying to find a computer in Config Manager. Your suggestion to "Just
find ResourceID 16777218 in the console (you might have to add the ResourceID column) and double check if there" was the trick to finding the computer in Config Manager. Thanks for all of your help

Installing Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 using ISOs, Answer Files and Driver files over PXE boot

I have a validation lab that uses Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 on several completely different systems. I am looking for an easy way for the techs to PXE boot from a 2012 Server, select the OS to install and have the OS installed with drivers so when they come back
to the system it has the OS installed with no Bangs in Device Manager.
I have done this in the past (7-8 years ago) and it was fairly easy. Now from what I read it appears I have to create "Image" files for each system type? I hope I am misreading this because that method is counter-productive to create 10 different
images for 10 different systems.
I thought I used WDS and AIK on a 2K3 Server but I don't remember.
Is there a method/tool to install the operating systems as I described above using original OS ISOs, unattended answer files and driver files? WDS or SCCM? AM I misreading how it works?

Consider using newer Windows ADK

T61s, T60s & older model unable to PXE boot to SCCM (MAC address problem)

Hi,
We have a series of T60, T61 & older machines that are unable to PXE boot to SCCM. The T400 & X series & other newer models can boot just fine.
After checking further, we realised that only a certain range of MAC addresses are unable to pxe boot i.e
00-1A-XXXXXXX
00-1C-XXXXXXX
range.. all the other range of MAC addresses are fine to boot via network.
The error when doing network boot is "bad or missing discovery server list"
Also, we are running on SCCM 2012 at the moment. Our branch office who is running SCCM 2008 can have all the machines - regardless of models & brand boot just fine.
Any ideas? Much appreciated.

did it obtain IP address from DHCP server? is DNS server address is configured in DHCP scope? can you ping using IP address?
if drivers are proper will suggest to update it in boot media & enable command line support to make it easy for deployment & troubleshooting.

PXE boot problem: guest VM DHCP request packets not able to reach DHCP server

Hi Gurus,
I'm wondering if anyone could help me with this problem. I wanted to install Linux on Oracle VMs using PXE. I set up a DHCP server and the OVM running RHEL6.4 box. The DHCP server worked fine since other PHYSICAL servers could get IPs from this DHCP server. However, DHCP requests from Oracle VMs was not able to reach the DHCP server. So I suspect this is a VM-specific issue.
If I type in "dhcp net0" on gPXE prompt on the OVS machine(sappire), I can see the requests were being sent from the OVS server (sapphire):
gPXE> dhcp net0
DHCP (net0 00:21:f6:00:00:00) .............................................Connection time out (0x4c106035)
Could not configure net0: Connection time out (0x4c106035)

Hi,
- Do you install Oracle VM Server (OVS) on an emulated environment like Oracle VM VirtualBox ? if yes so you can't do it.
- Don't forget to configure the Virtual Machines Network and also to add this network to this Virtual Machine.
I hope this can help you
Best Regards

Pxe-boot uses wrong filename

Hello,
I have a working setup for pxe-boot.(testet with my Desktop).
My DHCP-Server supplies as filename "pxelinux". My new Thinkpad S531 is unable to boot.
The log of my tftp-server shows, that my TP adds a sign at the end of the filename on request, and of couse,
my tftp-server is unable to find that file.
The added sign ist not from the alphabet, so I cant put it in here. If I change the filnename on my "filename"-diretive of my dhcp-server p.e. to "pxelinux.0" an other sign is added to the filerequest of my TP.
Secure boot ist off.
Is this a bug in my efi?
Thanks for reading

Thanks to both for replies. Correcting the default boot order was easy but getting the internet connection to work took a little longer. I solved it by changing the device name as suggested here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … evice_name
There was nothing in /etc/udev/rules.d so I created the file 10-network.rules and used the enp2s0 device name which was working with the older kernel.
I'm still wondering why this mixup happened in the first place but anyway, it's working now so many thanks for your replies.
