Installing from PXE

When a PXE-enabled client connected to the network boots up, the computer initiates a network
service request. A DHCP discover packet is sent to the network requesting the IP address of an
available RIS server. The DHCP server responds to the request by providing an IP address to
the client. Any available RIS server can respond with its IP address, and the name of the boot
file the client should request if the client selects that RIS server for service.
Support for PXE/RIS installations is limited to the HP Integrity servers listed in the following
table.
