Boot from Fibre Channel
Hi
Came across gPXE then found iPXE which sounds like it does exacley what I want it to do. Which is have a central SAN/storage device for my media PCs (which double up as ESXi hosts). Then using a simple PHP script tell the client to either boot the Windows 7 image or the ESXi image. So far I have setup pfSense with a DHCP server, setup TFTP on a Ubuntu VM with my custom iPXE file to embed a file from my web server which also passes the mac address across to the web server. This works perfectly, and can't believe how quickly I got this set up Now I have hit a road block as I don't really know where to go from here, I have a bunch of Qlogic QLE2460 Fibre HBAs and a Fibre switch My plan is to install Openfiler on my file server as this supports Fibre How can I boot an ESXi installer iso, and install it to a Fibre target? Is this even possible with iPXE? Any help would be greatly appreciated Nick |
