Bug #2176

Updated by Benjamin Papillon over 10 years ago

So initially I had dhcpd manually configured but did not specify it in the subnet configuration. This worked fine and I could provision systems without a problem and pxe requested the proper config from pxelinux.cfg/01-{MAC}. 

 

 However once I set the proxy for the dhcp server in the subnet config the pxe process suddenly stopped working. 
 
 The weird thing is that suddenly pxe tried the config from pxelinux.cfg/{sys-uuid}. There it simply got stuck. 

 

 The leases file contained this entry for the host: 

 

 host testsys.vms.local { 
   
   dynamic; 
   
   hardware ethernet 52:54:00:28:11:63; 
   
   fixed-address 10.100.0.124; 
         
         supersede server.filename = "pxelinux.0"; 
         
         supersede server.next-server = 0a:63:00:28; 
         
         supersede host-name = "testsys.vms.local"; 
 
 } 

 

 The moment I remove that entry and restart dhcpd pxe starts using the MAC address again and the pxe boot and the provisioning succeeds.
