Hi, i am using pxe boot with autoinstall and a hostname specific tgz file in the sets to deploy many similar Firewalls. i tell the installer how to configure at least one nic, to download the sets. i use dhcp for that. after that everything works as expected until the install is done and machine restarts.
in my custom site57-fw1.tgz is a /etc/hostname.vio0. it says "up". i was wondering why in the filesystem of fw1 /etc/hostname.vio0 says "dhcp". i can only think the installer filling the file, after my site.tgz gets extracted. i am not absolutely sure if that's whats happening but if that's the case i'm not sure if that is intended behavior. i could of course add another nic just for pxe booting or put something in the install.site script, but maybe there is a better solution.
