Depending on the network configuration, boot times might vary. Prerequisites Before proceeding with the configuration, you must have all the prerequisites: • A good, working knowledge of PXE and TFTP • A network with a DHCP server on it • A TFTP server configured on the same network as the DHCP server • A network file server that hosts the ISO images and is accessible by a PXE booted system • PXELinux (http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX) These instructions presume that you are using a Linux TFTP server and the TFTP package (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp). Other TFTP servers should work similarly. HP Array Configuration Utility 13
