It’s early software, but I like it. A lot. Give or a take a few minor issues with the recent commits in Razor , the software is running fairly stable. Alas, after playing with it for some time, I ran into the following error.
iPXE 1.0.0+ – Open Source Network Boot Firmware
http://192.168.59.2:8026/razor/api/boot?mac=00%3A50… Connection reset
Could not boot http://192.168.59.2:8026/razor/api/boot?mac=00%3A50… Connection reset
Operating system not found
In a VM, it looks like this.
The current version of Razor does not start upon boot, so if you reboot your Razor server, the Razor daemon is not running and booting VMs will produce that error.
# /opt/razor/bin/razor_daemon.rb status razor_daemon: no instances running # /opt/razor/bin/razor_daemon.rb start # /opt/razor/bin/razor_daemon.rb status razor_daemon: running [pid 25956]
After that, PXE booting servers will be able to contact the Razor Daemon and should be able to boot up just fine.
