Configuring a PXE server

Configuring the PXE Server enables the BMC Server Automation system to communicate with a target server during provisioning in the PXE environment.

Before you begin

To see the tab for configuring the PXE server, you must have, at minimum, the ProvisionConfig.Read authorization.

To configure the PXE Server:

  1. Choose Configuration > Provisioning Configurations.
  2. Click the PXE tab.
  3. Provide information about the tab. Then click OK to save the current values. See PXE Server tab.
  4. Stop and restart the PXE server. See Starting-and-stopping-the-PXE-server.

Note

You can also configure the PXE server by editing the pxe.conf file. By default, this file resides in the following location:

  • Windows: installDirectory\PXE\br\pxe.conf
  • UNIX: installDirectory/NSH/br/pxe.conf
