Dear all,


I am new to Etherboot / gPXE and have some questions on setup / configuration of dhcpd.

Here is my setup:

Server-Machine
--------------
OpenSuse 11.2
iSCSI target with IQN: iqn.2010-02.local.home:945a211e0-4cf8-8eb4-2325a44e2ac5
No authentication required for iSCSI target
IP address is 192.168.0.1
dhcpd running, standard configuration from YaST (i.e. serving on eth0, configured address range is from .100 to .200, etc.)


Client-Machine
--------------
Intend to boot via gPXE from the above mentioned iSCSI target (i.e. no local disk)
Configured to receive IP address 192.168.0.10 from Server-Machine


Now the question is what I have to configure in dhcpd to get my iSCSI target delivered to the client machine upon dhcp-request? Currently my dhcpd.conf file in /etc/ contains the following:

ldap-base-dn "ou=DHCP,dc=home,dc=local";
ldap-method static;
ldap-server "127.0.0.1";



I have checked the web page and followed the instructions from e.g. page called "sanboot:suse - Etherboot/gPXE Wiki" and "dhcpd - Etherboot/gPXE Wiki" but it did not work. Also a search in google for approx. 1 day could not provide me with proper configuration information. As it appears to me, the directives in dhcpd.conf file are ignored but instead looked up from LDAP. Yet, in LDAP I could not find proper configuration page.

By the way: I assigned the Client-Machine a fixed IP address (192.168.0.10), which it will get assigned, thus I believe that the LDAP configuration for dhcpd is correct.


Any hints on where and what to configure?


Thank you
  Bjoern
