Automated Re-Installs with PXE

Automated Re-Installs with PXE

We've had our PXE boot system for doing automated installs for awhile now and I'm sure many of you with IPMI on your systems have seen this setup when you reboot your systems. Well, now we have full documentation for using our PXE system here: https://support.steadfast.net/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=60

This means if you need a reinstall of your OS you can perform it yourself, assuming you have IPMI or KVM over IP, which most systems come with now. In addition, it gives you access to all sorts of other diagnostics tools, such as disk utilities, rescue images, R1soft Bare Metal Restore, memtest, and many more. These tools can come in handy to help you restore your own system or fix an error you made without even needing to contact our support staff. We're giving you the control, but if you still need our help we're here for you 24/7!

If you have any questions on using the PXE system or feel there needs to be some clarification in the documentation please contact our support staff.
