Observation¶

I found scooter-1.qe.prg2.suse.org and bare-metal6.qe.prg2.suse.org can not boot from ipxe because no media present. Actually media is present, for example:

The boot process reports:

Steps to reproduce¶

• set ipxe boot script for scooter-1 and bare-metal6
• boot from ipxe

Suggestions¶

• Recent network changes
• Recent worker changes
• Manually check if the system boots if you select a boot device. If you really find that no network connection can be established then please report a ticket to IT as we don't have access to the switch to check if the port is disabled or if the cable connection is faulty or incomplete
