Hi Everyone,
I'm a FreeNAS and PXE beginner. I was hoping if someone could help me with setting up a PXE server. I know that FreeNAS can become a TFTP server. This is my setup.
FreeNAS Setup:
1. 1 ZFS volume with all 4 disks named /mnt/Storage.
2. 1 ZFS Dataset named /mnt/Storage/tftproot shared through CIFS as TFTP_Root. I set up the CIFS share so it would be easier to copy files/ISOs over to FreeNAS.
3. Enabled TFTP and pointed it to the directory /mnt/Storage/tftproot with Allow New Files checkbox unchecked.
Is there anyway to make FreeNAS also a PXE server? If not, can I use CentOS 5.7 with pxelinux and point to the FreeNAS tftp? Does the image repository (ISOs) have to be local to the PXE server or can they be separated?
Thanks for any help.
