similar to: PXELinux + Altiris + Tivoli.

Hi, I finally got it working and it was just as Gene said except that option 43 didn't have the right value. I downloaded a utility called PXEForcedMode that gave me the binary string I had to use as option 43. In my case the utility reported the following data: dhcp server set optionvalue 43 BINARY 06010B0807AAAA010AD7903C00 dhcp server set optionvalue 60 STRING PXEClient dhcp server set

Hi, I have a Linux server at ip address 10.215.144.7 running DHCP, TFTP and syslinux. DHCP config contains the following: next-server 10.215.144.7; filename "/pxe/syslinux/pxelinux.0"; and the 'default' pxelinux.cfg contains: LABEL altiris ??? MENU LABEL ^7. Altiris ??? COM32 pxechn.c32 ??? APPEND 10.215.144.60::/BStrap/x86pc/BStrap.0 When a PXE client boots in my network

Sorry for top-posting but my webmail forces me to. I added -W to the APPEND line as suggested but I'm still getting the same result: Booting... Altiris, inc. X86PC PreBoot, PXE-2.x Enhanced Build ID=402 PXEPreZero: Invalid PXE Server list format. and the client PC freezes right there. Here's the full content of my dhcp.conf: max-lease-time 86400; ddns-update-style interim;

It's been a while since I used Yahoo but I didn't think I had that issue. GMail does default to top-posting but clicking the ellipsis to look at the previous email is enough. > I added -W to the APPEND line as suggested but I'm still getting

Has anyone successfully deployed CentOS on HP Proliant servers using the Altiris Rapid Deployment (RDP) framework? This works out of the box with RHEL 5.1 but I have not been able to get this to work with CentOS 5.1. If anyone knows of an article on all the details to be able to deploy CentOS to a bare machine Proliant Server, I would appreciate a pointer. I did make the changes to the

Hello, We are currently testing the compatibility of our software with XEN guests and seem to have hit a limitation of the virtualization kernel of XEN. In order to orchestrate the automated provisioning operations, our software uses a small proprietary protected-mode kernel that takes control at every boot to dispatch between the various actions to perform during an OS install. Our code

All, Can anyone confirm that Samba/Solaris will integrate with TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) when deployed into a Wintel client environment. ie. Solaris/Samba as a TSM client - we need to be sure that the ACL's will be maintained correctly via a TSM backup/restore (full or partial) Or confirm this does not work, which is not what we want to hear - but the truth will suffice. Many thanks,

Hello All. Yesterday I?m trying another ways but without luck. Issue still exist ? Please help. Is it possible to rewrite DHCP setting for sanboot.c32 after gpxelinux.0 load? Will be nice to have this possibility because: 1. DHCP can be ?black box?. 2. DHCP admin not available. 3. PXE server rewrite dhcp setting. I cannot boot from cdrom after pxe(gpxelinux.0) ? please help. LABEL Windows 7

I'm supposing it's a string or array. Option 69 is "SMTP server" which really doesn't make any sense... -hpa
