how to prevent pxe boot looping

Open wushuzh opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

How can I setup the tool to do pxe installation for only one time ?

My server boot order is PXE first, so after installation is done and on next reboot, it may fail into the pxe installation again. And this loop may go forever.

If there is some similiar setting like cobbler pxe_just_once

It depends on the exact nature of your boot firmware and the "installation" in question. I've had good luck with a customized Debian installer that executes efibootmgr in a preseed/late_command script.
