Abstract
HTTP Boot is an application based on client-server communication. It combines the DHCP, DNS, and HTTP protocols to provide the ability to installl an operating system over the network. This new capability can be utilized as a higher-performance replacement for TFTP-based on PXE Boot methods of network deployment.
This paper provides a brief introduction to the HTTP Boot mechanism, instructions on setting up the HTTP Boot server on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2, and step-by-step instructions on how to install an operating system on a Lenovo® ThinkSystem™ server using HTTP Boot.
This paper is intended for IT administrators. Readers are expected to have the basic knowledge of network deployment.
