Description

Hi nicksinger , okurz

blackbauhinia begun to fail to boot from iPXE at 20221108 snapshot with "PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout", fg. https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/2862507#step/ipxe_install/1

https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/2896893#next_previous

I checked the journals and found these suspicious lines. Restart dnsmasp service did not seem to help. I don't know much about dnsmasq or firewalled settings in ariel. Could you help with these settings or point me what I should do?

History

  • Status changed from New to Feedback
  • Assignee set to okurz
  • Target version set to Ready

Hi, we don't really have much more experience with PXE within the o3 domain either so I suggest you investigate that yourself in detail, in particular I suggest to look into the meaning of the message "cannot send DHCP/BOOTP option 3: no space left in packet", what that could mean

#2 Updated by cdywan 2 months ago

  • Subject changed from "PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout" on ipmi machines in O3 to "PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout" on ipmi machines in O3 size:S

#3 Updated by cdywan 2 months ago

Note: We took a look during the estimation call, but consider it an S mainly because this is looking to be a support ticket. We didn't estimate the problem as such.

/etc/dnsmasq.d/pxeboot.conf was modified at some point, probably to either deploy on some worker or for other tests.

I made those lines active again:

enable-tftp
tftp-root=/srv/tftpboot
pxe-service=x86PC, "ipxe", ipxe/ipxe.pxe

At least the PXE part is working again: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/2931843#live

Thank you favogt , the ipxe service comes back online. I was busy with OSD testing and have had the chance to take closer look, and I really don't know much about server stuff. It helps a lot.
