From 84d406ccf48c8808b0bb30d526b758e4b58cacc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Brown Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2017 15:03:25 +0100 Subject: [block] Allow use of a non-default EFI SAN boot filename Some older operating systems (e.g. RHEL6) use a non-default filename on the root disk and rely on setting an EFI variable to point to the bootloader. This does not work when performing a SAN boot on a machine where the EFI variable is not present. Fix by allowing a non-default filename to be specified via the "sanboot --filename" option or the "san-filename" setting. For example: sanboot --filename \efi\redhat\grub.efi \ iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6 or option ipxe.san-filename code 188 = string; option ipxe.san-filename "\\efi\\redhat\\grub.efi"; option root-path "iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6"; Originally-implemented-by: Vishvananda Ishaya Abrams Signed-off-by: Michael Brown --- src/include/usr/autoboot.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src/include/usr') diff --git a/src/include/usr/autoboot.h b/src/include/usr/autoboot.h index c62d06c6f..f88b8494f 100644 --- a/src/include/usr/autoboot.h +++ b/src/include/usr/autoboot.h @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ extern void set_autoboot_ll_addr ( const void *ll_addr, size_t len ); extern int uriboot ( struct uri *filename, struct uri **root_paths, unsigned int root_path_count, int drive, - unsigned int flags ); + const char *san_filename, unsigned int flags ); extern struct uri * fetch_next_server_and_filename ( struct settings *settings ); extern int netboot ( struct net_device *netdev ); -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522
