Pxe

I’m currently doing many tests with the Openshift bare-metal installation, and as I’m creating and destroying the VMs again and again, having a PXE server to provide the installation images and configuration to the VMs is very handy and saves a lot of time.

This is an example of my PXE configuration mounted on a Fedora box that acts as router.

I’ve learned how to boot a host and load the Fedora installer directly from HTTP. This has enabled me to install Fedora in a VPS which didn’t have the Fedora ISOs available and I cannot upload any other. All of this thanks to the virtual ethernet card and its gPXE firmware.
