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";
}
}
}
