#puppet-pxe

Configures a RHEL/Centos based PXE boot server with no hassle. Doesn't require any other Puppet modules. Doesn't require Puppet Master installed.

##Installation and usage:

1. git clone https://github.com/pvl7/puppet-pxe pxeboot

2. Attach the minimal Centos6 or Centos7 ISO image to a VM

Review default settings (change if required):

vi pxeboot/manifests/params.pp

and adjust the following parameters to suit your needs

The kickstart config files are in $module_name/files/ks/

  # kickstart network parameters
  # change to whatever is needed
  $pxe_server_ip           = '192.168.15.250'
  $pxe_dhcp_subnet         = '192.168.15.0'
  $pxe_dhcp_subnet_netmask = '255.255.255.0'
  $pxe_dhcp_pool           = '192.168.15.120 192.168.15.125'

  # Bootstrap menu. The kickstart profile has to be pre-created in files/
