TFTP Open Timeout

[shoong]

Hi Guys,

Our XenServer recently went down and when it came back up, I thought my FOG server was good, but when I try to PXE Boot, it throws an PXE-E32: TFTP Open Time Out.

Here’s a bit about the server and what I’ve tried.

• Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop
• FOG Server 1.2
• It is on static, 192.168.x.x
• DHCP Server is PF Sense, I did double check to make sure that it allows network boot under the correct VLAN and made sure that the IP and file name is correct
• when I try to get the file on windows tftp -i 192.168.42.5 get undionly,kpxe the output is > tftp: can’t write to local file ‘undionly.kpxe’
• so I tried to run cmd as an administrator, and when I do that it throws Connect Request Failed
• I can access the server via web GUI
• I tried cp /tftp/undionly.kpx /tftp/undionly.0, restarted the server, nothing

Let me know if there’s something else I should try or look?

Try manually restarting the tftpd-hpa service:

sudo service tftpd-hpa restart

Hi Tom,

I did that, now when I try to access it thru the WEB GUI it prompts me to update. Once I press on that, I get Update/Install Failed!

Also, when I try to PXE boot, the error I get is Could not boot: No such file or directory (http://ipxe.org/2d12603b)

Hi @Tom-Elliott

The GUI came back, but I’m still unable to PXE boot. still getting a timeout error.

so I went ahead and tried sudo service tftpd-hpa restart and waited a few minutes. then tried to PXE boot and it worked. However, instead of registering the host, I inputted the MAC address thru the WEB GUI.
