[cobbler] VMware EFI + CentOS7

[Marcq, Nicolas]

Hi experts !
I'm testing Cobbler and I'm stuck when I try to deploy CentOS 7 on VMware VM (ESX
5.5) with EFI bios activated.

I don't see anything about specific configuration I should have added on the official
documentation. In DHCP log I can see the requested boot file is pxelinux.0 instead of
grub-x86_64.efi but I don't know why.

Thx for any help!

My Cobbler version

cobbler --version

Cobbler 2.6.9

  source: ?, ?

  build time: Mon Jun 22 18:06:11 2015

This is my DCHP config

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

     option routers             192.168.0.1;

     option domain-name-servers 16.110.135.51;

     option subnet-mask         255.255.255.0;

     range dynamic-bootp        192.168.0.100 192.168.0.200;

     default-lease-time         21600;

     max-lease-time             43200;

     next-server                192.168.0.1;

     class "pxeclients" {

          match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) =
"PXEClient";

          if option pxe-system-type = 00:02 {

                  filename "ia64/elilo.efi";

          } else if option pxe-system-type = 00:06 {

                  filename "grub/grub-x86.efi";

          } else if option pxe-system-type = 00:07 {

                  filename "grub/grub-x86_64.efi";

          } else {

                  filename "pxelinux.0";

          }

     }

}
