WDS iSCSI and iPXE

Brick WDS iSCSI and iPXE
Hi all.

I have gone through the first few pages of this forum to see if I could resolve the issue ihave.

I have a WDS server configured and working. This also has Syslinux added so I can deploy Linux distis and using CloneZilla.

I have been trying to get iPXE to run and it appears to get stuck in a loop when trying to get the "boot\x86\pxelinux.com".

I have tried changing the TFTP size (x86 only so far) as mentioned in another post but this has not helped.

Please can someone assist?

Many thanks

The URL ends up wrong if you try to use literal backslashes. You'll have to use the escape %5C instead (and your TFTP server must support backslashes instead of normal slashes).

Robin many thanks for getting back.

This is the standard TFTP service that installs with WDS.

Do I need to change the boot file on option 67 to the following:

[boot%5Cx86%5Cpxelinux.com]

Ok, I have the unit booting from an iSCSI drive but it fails after the Windows loading screen.

Any thoughts? Undecided
