PXE boot

PXE server logs

To view PXE server (includes DHCP, TFTP and HTTP server) logs:

docker-compose --project-directory ./metal/roles/pxe-server/build/ logs --follow

Nodes not booting from the network

  • Plug a monitor and a keyboard to one of the bare metal node if possible to make the debugging process easier
  • Check if the controller (PXE server) is on the same subnet with bare metal nodes (sometimes Wifi will not work or conflict with wired Ethernet, try to turn it off)
  • Check if bare metal nodes are configured to boot from the network
  • Check if Wake-on-LAN is enabled
  • Check if the operating system ISO file is mounted
  • Check the controller firewall config
  • Check PXE server Docker logs
