Booting VMs via embedded iPXE in Satellite 6.2

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

How do I boot VMs (libvirt, oVirt, RHEV) using embedded iPXE (firmware) in Satellite 6.2 instead of the standard PXE?

iPXE provides a faster boot due to using HTTP instead of TFTP to fetch the initial system boot images.

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 6.2.11 or later
  • DHCP managed by Satellite Capsule/Server
  • RHEV, oVirt or libvirt environment for hosts
