I thought that PXE boot was installing Windows on a external hard disk, putting it on a network and booting to it with another computer. That would been useful for a laptop that i have here that doesn't have a hard drive.
A brief. I shared this with the less-than-technical persons on our team. Thanks Pluralsight. All servers would remain much cooler if they to wore fedoras.
RHEL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A Linux distribution with great support and documentation. I believe it's one of the few distributions that cost money, but if you're a business the support that follows could be well worth it. For personal use other distributions can usually do everything RHEL can, but with more configuration and less support.
When reading my Linux book, I'm confused why my book says that the boot image is requested via tftp and the installation via http/nfs or other. I did read later on that the tftp server isn't limited to just booting linux but you can deploy an OS. So this is sugesting tgat the OS can be downloaded via tftp or Http. Is my thinking right on this?
Maybe the book suggests via http so not only can you download the OS but all the configuration files. With tftp only the OS is available and you are unable to get config files. So in this videos explanation an extra step is needed because tftp was used to retrieve the OS
I have AIS Industrial PC. I want to convert them to ThinClients via PXE Boot. Its BIOS is APTIO - 2019 American Megatrends . I changed the following but I get a shell prompt instead of it trying to connect to DHCP server. After the save and exit and computer restart it gives “Shell>” Shell Prompt Screen Any suggestions how to do a network boot. I do not see the network boot option available on it.
No. PXE is literally just the ability to allow a machine to accept a boot instruction remotely. When your computer first starts up, it checks a "boot order", which is a set of different storage mediums to accept boot instructions from. The boot order specifies a list of which storage mediums to check (and in what order) to load into RAM. So if your boot order says "check the hard disk first, check PXE second", then PXE will start if the hard disk is empty (if no instructions are sent to the boot loader, it will skip to the next entry in the boot order). However once the hard disk IS filled with something (i.e. an operating system you installed to the hard drive), then the boot loader will run the instructions from the hard disk drive and thus PXE will not be enabled. If you want to handle running a machine remotely as a system, you need to have a different kind of technology known as a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). The BMC is essentially a small computer within another computer. The task of the BMC is to act as a mediator between the machine's operating system and remote accessibility of a system. Generally speaking, systems are built to deny remote traffic but by having a secondary machine that controls the hardware, BMC is able to grant remote access from PXE. BMC ties in with something known as Out-Of-Band Management (OOB), which is just a category of protocols and technologies that allow a machine to accept remote requests including powering up and powering down servers remotely. So for further research on your curiosity for running a system remotely, I would tell you to begin by looking into OOB and IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface). This will give you a high level overview of what running a system remotely would look like and you can dive further into learning the underlying technologies that make up OOB and IPMI, things like PXE as you've learned and BMC.
Hey, I got one question: After installing the operating system from the network, do the PC repeat this process when I'm rebooting or do I have to do it only one time? Thanks in Advance
Get under the hood with booting and runlevels in RHEL 6 - BIOS, GRUB, kernel, and init. In this free preview from his Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Booting and Runlevels course, Nigel Poulton discusses booting and installing over the network via Preboot execution environment, or PXE.

Good One Pluralsight !!! Just the Explanation I Wanted and Needed !!!
I thought that PXE boot was installing Windows on a external hard disk, putting it on a network and booting to it with another computer.
That would been useful for a laptop that i have here that doesn't have a hard drive.
also you need to make sure the mac address on the server mobo matches over the network or you will not be able to pxe boot.
Good and simple basic explanation, thank you!
A brief. I shared this with the less-than-technical persons on our team. Thanks Pluralsight.
All servers would remain much cooler if they to wore fedoras.
And the server has to wear a fedora 😉 my favorite part of the explanation!
waiit lmao i thought this was pxe music by ecco2k

hello, I have a laptop that doesn't have an ethernet port. Can I use USB C to ethernet adapter to do PXE booting?
that depends on the adapter and the laptop
I think server do not need pxe card only client need pxe card

Any suggestions how to do a network boot. I do not see the network boot option available on it.
draiiiiiiin gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang
what do you need to consider when preforming a PXe boot???
Which subject is this, and in which field this subject is taught?
networking fundamentals
I was studying for A+ certification test and it was briefly glossed over on the chapter about the boot process
Do you need three physical servers, or can they be virtual machines?
you have to have three physical machines. stop trying to cheap out. 🤨
@Pluralsight im looking on how to do this but can you be descriptive?
Can it be used to run the system instead of installing it?

Thanks in Advance
Only once.
after first boot from PXE, it goes to boot from Harddisk --> from which OS is loaded..
if in the boot menu the pxe is the first and you are connecter to network with pxe on it it will repeat

I came back to my laptop from lunch and I sew this and it said hit ESC to start your pc? I sew PXE?
