Community

Hi,
I’d like to hear from you, Foreman users, what kind of PXE loaders are you using for provisioning hosts in your environment?

We are planning some changes (link) and possibly some cleanup, but without data on what is used and what is not, it’s a challenging task.

  • None
  • PXELinux BIOS
  • PXELinux UEFI
  • Grub UEFI
  • Grub2 BIOS
  • Grub2 ELF
  • Grub2 UEFI
  • Grub2 UEFI SecureBoot
  • Grub2 UEFI HTTP
  • Grub2 UEFI HTTPS
  • Grub2 UEFI HTTPS SecureBoot
  • iPXE Embedded
  • iPXE UEFI HTTP
  • iPXE Chain BIOS
  • iPXE Chain UEFI

Feel free to share details about your choices, such as why you’re using the loaders, why you don’t use any others, or if you plan to switch to others. Any details are more than welcome; it will help us tremendously in designing future changes.

Thank you.

I typically try to keep it as simple as possible, so my preferred one is still classic PXELinux BIOS. If a system requires UEFI my best experience is using Grub2 UEFI HTTP. Secure boot was not required very often yet and we know it currently has its limitations so I did not advertise it.
