Troubleshooting PXE-E11: ARP Timeout error under VMware ESXi 4 and HPSA 7.8
- by warren
I am running HP Server Automation v7.8 in a lab environment on VMware ESXi, managed via vSphere 4.
On the same host I have several small VMs for OS provisioning testing (512MB RAM, 10GB hdd, one NIC on the same vSwitch that HPSA is running on).
DHCP is configured to hand-out addresses in the 192.168.10.151-200 range. On boot of the VM, it receives an IP (eg 192.168.10.198) within seconds.
However, after it receives its IP, a PXE-E11: ARP Timeout error occurs in trying to boot from the DHCP server.
I do not know if this is a HPSA-specific error, as I have seen reports of the PXE-E11 error on various forums. Proposed solutions I have seen so far (changing VLAN settings, for example) have not been applicable to my environment.
Are there any pointers/troubleshooting steps that can be taken to resolve this?
