NetBoot using PXE and TFTP. See NetBoot server principle
Setup NetBoot files
Use an Ubuntu ISO image as NetBoot
Download the latest Ubuntu netboot image for the target architecture(s) from: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/
You have to take the netboot.tar.gz archive.
cd /tftpboot/
mkdir rescue
cd rescue
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
tar -xzvf netboot.tar.gz
rm netboot.tar.gz
Register files in DHCP server
Edit your DHCP server configuration:
vim /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
Adjust it like that:
#### NETBOOT settings
# PXE file to serve.
# >> elilo.efi => for ia64 clients;
# >> pxelinux.0 => for x86
# These files should be at the root of your TFTP server
# Note: The file name can be add in the "host" section too. Then, the "host" will override the current setting
filename "rescue/pxelinux.0";
# set the server that serve this NETBOOT file
next-server 172.16.50.2;
# Ensure that the new client (the one booting) is not stealing someone else IP @
ping-check = 1;
Mind the "rescue/" in the filename section.
You can always override that setting later on for each host.
Restart the DHCP server
service isc-dhcp-server restart
Next step: Diskless server / workstation
