6.13.1.1. HTTP configuration
On the Cobbler server create the following files in /etc/apache2/conf.d/http-tftpboot.conf with the following
content:
# allow http access to /srv/tftpboot/grub
Alias "/httpboot" "/srv/tftpboot"
<Directory "/srv/tftpboot">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AddType application/efi efi
<IfVersion <= 2.2>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</IfVersion>
<IfVersion >= 2.4>
Require all granted
</IfVersion>
</Directory>
After the changes have been made issue the following command:
systemctl restart apache2.service
6.13.1.2. DHCP configuration
To use HTTP-boot the following 2 entries need to be added:
option vendor-class-identifier "HTTPClient";
filename "http://<ip address SUSE Manager Server>/httpboot/grub/shim.efi";
The following example can be used if both traditional and HTTP boot are needed. It is recommended to use class-ses
for this.
Example Configuration:
class "pxeclients" {
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient";
next-server <ip address SUSE Manager Server>;
filename "pxelinux.0";
}
class "httpclients" {
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 10) = "HTTPClient";
option vendor-class-identifier "HTTPClient";
filename "http://<ip address SUSE Manager Server>/httpboot/grub/shim.efi";
}
