PXE

Quick Start Guide. The following operations are performed on Ubuntu 20.04.

Install Required Software

apt install tftpd-hpa isc-dhcp-server nginx

Download Operating System ISO Images

rhel-server-7.9-x86_64-dvd.iso
rhel-8.3-x86_64-dvd.iso
Kylin-Server-10-SP1-Release-Build20-20210518-x86_64.iso
Kylin-Server-10-SP2-x86-Release-Build09-20210524.iso

Create a Local Repository

Using RHEL 7.9 as an example. The process is similar for other distributions.

mkdir -p /mnt/rhel79
mount rhel-server-7.9-x86_64-dvd.iso /mnt/rhel79
mkdir -p /var/www/html/rhel79/x86_64
cp -r /mnt/rhel79 /var/www/html/rhel79/x86_64/base

$ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
server {
  listen 80 default_server;
  root /var/www/html;
  autoindex on;
}

Create a Kickstart File

You can obtain this file from /root/anaconda-ks.cfg after manually installing the operating system.

mkdir /var/www/html/kickstart
cp rhel79.cfg /var/www/html/kickstart/

# The final directory structure is as follows:
/var/www/html
├── kickstart
│   ├── cdh.cfg
│   ├── gbase.cfg
│   ├── rhel79.cfg
│   ├── v10sp1.cfg

Configure DHCP

Note: First, configure the local machine’s IP address to 10.0.0.1.

$ sudo vim /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
log-facility local7;

option arch code 93 = unsigned integer 16;

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 10.0.0.10 10.0.0.50;
  next-server 10.0.0.1;

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

    if option arch = 00:07 or option arch = 00:09 {
      # x86-64 EFI BIOS
      filename "efi/x86_64/BOOTX64.EFI";
    } else if option arch = 00:0b {
      # ARM64 aarch64 EFI BIOS
      filename "efi/aarch64/BOOTAA64.EFI";
    } else {
      # Legacy non-EFI BIOS
      filename "bios/x86_64/pxelinux.0";
    }
  }
}

$ sudo vim /etc/rsyslog.d/dhcp-relay.conf
local7.* -/var/log/dhcp-relay.log

# Restart the service
systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server

Configure TFTP

$ sudo vim /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/srv/tftp"
TFTP_ADDRESS=":69"
