2.5 Discovery
This section contains notes about discovery.
2.5.1 Servers with NetXen gPXE NIC require DHCP modifications
A server with a NetXen gPXE 4.0.230 NIC will not accept an IP address from a Linux-based dhcpd
server, which causes problems with the discovery process.
Corrective action: Add the following lines to the /etc/dhcpd.conf file on the dhcpd server:
# gpxe options
option space gpxe;
option gpxe.no-pxedhcp code 176 = unsigned integer 8;
option gpxe-encap-opts code 175 = encapsulate gpxe;
option gpxe.priority code 1 = signed integer 8;
option gpxe.priority 1;

2.5.2 Bare metal discovery might complain there is no DOS partition on the disk
During a bare-metal discovery on a new system with new disks, when the RAM disk is loaded onto
the system, Insight Control for Linux might report that there was no valid DOS partition on the disk
and subsequently might fail to complete the discovery process.
Corrective action: Perform the following procedure to create a new partition table:
1. Use the text editor of your choice to edit the /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/
toolkit.sh file.
Change the value of the CLEAR_DISKPARTITIONS_ON_DISCOVERY variable in that file
from:
CLEAR_DISKPARTITIONS_ON_DISCOVERY=0
To:
CLEAR_DISKPARTITIONS_ON_DISCOVERY=1
Save the file and exit the text editor.
2. Reinitiate bare-metal discovery using Options→IC-Linux→Initiate Bare Metal Discovery....
3. Edit the /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/toolkit.sh file to reset the
CLEAR_DISKPARTITIONS_ON_DISCOVERY to 0.
Save the file and exit the text editor.
