5.1.3.2 Configuring the DHCP Server

Edit a host-declaration for your PXE client in the DHCP configuration file, serving it with pxe-
linux.0, and restart your DHCP.

Here is an example of such host declaration inside DHCP config file:

5.1.3.3 Installing SLES11 SP3 on a Remote Storage over iSCSI

Step 1.

In the DHCP server configuration, the PXELINUX (pxelinux.0) and a SLES11 SP3 distri-
bution media will be provided for network installation.

The clients’ HDD was removed beforehand; therefore the installer will ask to locate a
HDD. The built-in iSCSI discovery will be used to connect to the iSCSI target LUN parti-
tion.

host qadell011 {

filename "pxelinux.0" ;

next-server 12.7.6.30;

option host-name "qadell011";

fixed-address 12.7.6.11 ;

hardware ethernet 00:02:C9:E5:D8:E0 ;
