Hello,
I have used Autodeploy since 5.5 but am not able to get it working now. The latest one I had working was 6.7. The difference now is that I have a new linux PXE server and am using ESXi 7.0 but I think the issue is something simple with the PXE server. The previous server was an old version of Altiris PXE/TFTP running on Windows. I deploy RedHat systems successfully from this PXE server, so it does work but I realize that is a little different than Autodeploy. I am using dnsmasq as the TFTP server.
When I boot, it loads the VMware undionly.kpxe.vmw-hardwired.0 but then I get a PXE error that the network is unreachable (attached). The networking should be working because I had just booted and loaded the kpxe file from it.
If I press CTRL-B and type
set filename https://10.32.100.200:6501/vmw/rbd/tramp
chain https://10.32.100.200:6501/vmw/rbd/tramp
Then it boots and starts the autodeploy!
I'm thinking I'm missing something in my dnsmasq config. Any thoughts on this?
