Hi all,
we've successfully installed SystemRescue on an PXE server, but we need to be able to use a DNS name in the boothttp= kernel parameter, as we have multiple sites that will use that.
Today, we must specify an IP address, that should be changed on every site.
Is it possible ? Does anyone have a solution ?
I'll try to have a look in the initrd
Regards
Kumy
Want to use dns in the boothttp= parameter
I just fixed the problems with the DNS, so it should work with sysresccd-0.4.2-beta11.
If you need the DNS to resolve the URL of sysresccd, then you can use the dns=xxx paramater.
For example:
Please let me know if 0.4.2-beta11 works for you.
If you need the DNS to resolve the URL of sysresccd, then you can use the dns=xxx paramater.
For example:
Code: Select all
rescuecd boothttp=http://www.myserver.com/sysrcd.dat dns=192.168.1.254
Please let me know if 0.4.2-beta11 works for you.
There are two ways of having the right network settings at the PXE boot stage (just after the kernel has been loaded and booted):
1) static: define all the settings in the command line:
There new options have been described there:
http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manu ... ot_options
2) automatic: all the settings sent by the DHCP server will be used (dns and gateway were ignore before but it's working now)
If your DHCP server has working DNS and GATEWAY in the configuration file there is no way to use the static way to configure these values.
The new network boot options can be used for pxe but they can be used in another context as well. More details about it there:

Re: Want to use dns in the boothttp= parameter
How to have unique dns addresses for different user accounts? I want to have seperate dns addresses for different windows vista user accounts. Is this possible?
