sanboot from AoE using DHCP info - Raghu - 2013-07-15 18:46

Hello,

Is there they config field in DHCP setting to indicate SAN boot device. I am looking to automate the Server boot from an AOE disk.

Currently I could manually boot the server from AoE target using the following command in that order.

1, dhcp net7 (AoE target disk is available only on net7 of this server).
2. sanboot aoe:e1.0 (Command to boot this server using the AoE target disk with address e1.0)

Please let me if there is setting/parameter for sanboot target disk details could be passed from DHCP server. (similar to next_server for pxe server).

Thanks,
Raghu

You can use root-path in ISC dhcpd, the AoE URL format for iPXE should work with autoboot, just like iscsi.
