一个基于KVM虚拟机的PXE服务器的实现

各位博友你们好，由于本人自去年5月份开始移居海外，事情繁多，一直没有更新CSDN博客。现在基本稳定下来了，于是又有心情开始写写博客了：）

鉴于目前工作原因，博文内容会多与Linux服务器运维有关，偶有编程小技巧。另外，我搭建了自己的wordpress系统，将来其博文会和CSDN同步。由于网络速度问题，会先发到我的workpress上，随后再同步到CSDN。

由于工作繁忙，基本上是随手记录，各种错误肯定不少，望大家指正！

0 PXE cheat-sheet

• PXE stands for Preboot eXecute Environment
• It’s a piece of code embedded in an NIC’s rom, which is
  loaded by BIOS when a PC is booted.
• PXE downloads another piece of software call NBP (Network
  Bootstrap Program, e.g. syslinux) from network via tftp.
• Tftp server IP and NBP file path are given by a DHCP server.
• NBP (via tftp)loads OS installer which usually ships with distrubution DVD.
• OS installer is strong enough to support more secure/robust network
  protocol, like ftp,nfs,samba,http.
• OS installer downloads OS package via ftp/http/nfs/…

To summarize, a complete PXE system includes:

• client PC with PXE supported NIC
• tftp server to hold NBP and OS installer (kernel, initrd)
• ftp/http/nfs server to hold OS packages
• dhcp server to connect client and other servers
