NetSUS dhcpd.conf "root-path" resets to default

[andyinindy]

All:

I have an issue with the config on one of our NetSUS servers. Basically, it doesn't seem to pick up the proper "root-path" setting in /etc/dhcpd.conf. We have tried manually setting this option, but it is overwritten with the following default setting when we stop/start netboot from the GUI:

"nfs:192.168.0.100:/srv/NetBoot/NetBootSP0:NetInstall.nbi/NetBoot.dmg"

We would like for this option to be set to use http, as well as the correct root-path for our server:

"http://172.19.34.23:/srv/NetBoot/NetBootSP0:Mac_OS_10.8.5.nbi/NetBoot.dmg"

Anyone know how to get this setting to "stick"?

TIA,

--Andy

Hi andyinindy,

It looks like the behavior you're seeing is related to an open defect (D-005990) with the NetSUS 2.0 appliance.

Usually, manually editing dhcpd.conf takes care of it, but I have updated our defect to reflect that you're seeing it reset to that default 192.168.0.100 address.

If you've got a dhcpd.conf file in /var/appliance/conf/, editing that one as well as the one in /etc may help.

Please let me know if that helps at all.

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response!

I edited /var/appliance/dhcp.conf and this has allowed the setting to persist through a start/stop of Netboot. Joy!

Thanks again,
