Snap Deploy DHCP Conf. for PXE boot

Hi,

I am trying to config my DHCP-server for PXE boot, but I don't know which value to write in the "filename" option of my DHCP.

Any Ideas?

Thanx in advance

Hi,
I have a linux-server enviroment with samba, ldap etc. and I want to use the PXE-Method for the Windows-Clients.
The CD-BOOT-Method works fine even over subnets.
But how to set up the dhcp-Server?
On the windows-deploy-Center are OSDDemon-directory with kernel.dat, ramdisk.dat etc.
What filename do I have to use to get the pxe-startup-screen to work?
Thanks

An hour later:

OK, I have created a bootable-media on an usb-stick. I copies all the files bootwiz.sys, bootwiz.cfg, dat2.dat, dat3.dat and spl1.exe into the tftpboot-directory.
I setup the dhcp.conf to tftp the bootwiz.sys. (filename="bootwiz.sys")

In /var/syslog there was:
Sep 24 12:43:47 sfb701srv atftpd[3627]: Serving /bootwiz.sys to 192.168.161.25:2070
which was correct but then:

On the windows-machine I saw now (in german): Acronis Loader wird gestartet....
Acronis Loader is starting...
Download bootwiz.sys
Download bootwiz.sys

And then: Acronis Loader: No configuration file found
Press enter to reboot (in German: Zum Neustart (Enter) drücken)

What is wrong?

Thank you in advance

Hello Acronis Support,
one month later I haven't fixed the Problem.
Have you any Idea?
Thanks

not sure if you received word from support yet but i spoke to them yesterday and received the fix.

If you want to use Acronis PXE server EXCLUSIVELY then you must delete Option 66 and 67 on the DHCP Server. Also Acronis SD should not reside on the DHCP Server.

*note, as long as your network is not sub-netted and your dhcp server/acronis sd server/workstations are all on the same segment then you will boot right into the pxe server.

 

Yeah, I agree. You don't have to put an entry in DHCP for PXE.
The PXE server advertises its presence on the network.

 

Does anyone here have a solution for PXE boots to the snap deploy server when they are on different subnets?
