I'm want install Xen Server 6.2 though ipxe, I tried different configurations, no luck making to work until now.
I found some may example to boot from pxe using TFTP server, and here is an example:
default xenserver-auto
label xenserver-auto
kernel mboot.c32
append xenserver/xen.gz dom0_max_vcpus=1-2 dom0_mem=752M,max:752M com1=115200,8n1 console=com1,vga --- xenserver/vmlinuz xencons=hvc console=hvc0 console=tty0 answerfile=http://[pxehost]/answerfile.xml remotelog=[SYSLOG] install --- xenserver/install.img
The problem is that ipxe uses different syntax, I could not figure out how to convert this configuration to work on ipxe.
Here is my ipxe file so far:
#!ipxe
echo "XEN Server is booting up"
initrd http://server-ip/pxe/xen/boot/xen.gz
kernel http://server-ip/pxe/xen/boot/pxelinux/mboot.c32
boot
Can any one supply the correct configuration?
