Hello!
I create environment with virtual machines on VirtualBox to test network boot.
My purpose is to test proxy DHCP feature (PXE variant when DHCP and
PXE servers on different physical machines).
First virtual machine provide DHCP, second act as PXE server (really
as proxy DHCP, but it is irrelevant), third is client with network
booting.
All machines attached to same virtual "Internal Network". I set
"Network" as first option in boot order at third VM. But receive
error at boot:
MAC: 08:00:27:0F:AC:01 UUID: 56422f58-0000-0000-0000-0800270cac01
Searching for server (DHCP)..........
Me: 192.168.240.10, DHCP: 192.168.240.2, Gateway 192.168.240.2
No filename
FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System Halted.
My settings:
- VirtualBox 3.1.6_OSE r59338 on Ubuntu Linux 10.04 host;
- VM1: Ubuntu Server Linux 9.04 with ISC DHCPd;
- VM2: Ubuntu Server Linux 9.04 with dnsmasq (act as PXE (proxy DHCP)
server, TFTP server);
- VM3: dummy VM with "Network" as first boot device.
dhcpd.conf:
option domain-name "example.org";
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.240.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.240.2;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range 192.168.240.5 192.168.240.99;
}
dnsmasq.conf:
port=0
enable-tftp
pxe-prompt="Press key for menu",0
pxe-service=x86PC,"Network boot",pxelinux
pxe-service=x86PC,"Local boot",0
dhcp-range=192.168.240.0,proxy
Same configuration works on physical network, but I need virtual setup
to not disturb real network.
Can anyone suggest me how to enable fully functional network booting
in virtual machines?
Sorry for my English.
