I am trying to provision a baremetal server using Foreman. The host has
been created and the tftp structure is in place
But when i network boot the host, it picks up the DHCP but then times out
for tftp.
I tftp is part of the subnet that i selected for the host and the
/var/lib/tftpboot has all the required directories (boot and pxelinux.cfg
with MAC address file)
I am not sure why the host is not booting with the image

There is something that intermittently causes this problem in my
environment too. It is not a tftpd problem. I haven't been able to track
it down yet. Usually, deleting the host from Foreman and re-creating it
fixes it.

Thanks Ohad, GREAT … I was able to proceed after i changed firewall
setting for tftp.
I was assuming the tftp smart proxy will add the tftp port to trusted list.
but looks like that's not happening
However, after some basic steps the installtion stops at " no installation
media". I selected open suse mirror in the installation media for this OS.
David, here is the output from my /etc/einetd/tftp file
This file is being maintained by Puppet.
DO NOT EDIT
service tftp
{
port = 69
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
group = root
groups = yes
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -v -s /var/lib/tftpboot/ -m /etc/tftpd.map
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}
