PXE Boot Problems
I am trying to deploy an image from a remote PXE server but I am getting the following error message in the log files:
Error description:
The file could not be opened.
(Note: The file does not exist.)
(Filename: G:\HP8530p.img)
Possible causes:
A file that was expected to exist does not exist.
You do not have permission for this operation on the file or directory.
Possible resolutions:
Make sure the file exists and is accessible.
If the missing file is part of this program, reinstall the program.
Fix the permissions on the file or directory.

The images reside on the same subnet as the PXE server and I have them mapped to the G: drive.
I have created a local boot menu for that particular PXE server and have redirected it to the DOS Managed menu.
I have gone into the DS Configuration and have placed the mapped drives for both F: and G:
The F: drive is going to the express share and the G: drive is pointing to the images
I have one DS that I am using.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
How big is the image?
Since you appear to be using a DOS boot. you will be unable to deploy any images greater than 2Gb
If your issue has been solved, please use the "Mark as Solution" link on the most relevant thread.
Size is not the problem
I use DOS boot and some of my images are greater than 13G I think you need to look at the mapping of G: inside your boot configuration file.
I have checked my boot file
I have checked my boot file and it references:
F: drive as the location of the express share on the DS
G: drive as the location of the images which resides on the same subnet as the PXE server
NOTE: the DS and PXE server are on different subnets

This may some dumb (but it has happened to us before). Are you sure the image name is correct? Or is it in a subfolder off that share? Also have you confirmed that the credentials you are using has access to the share?
Would you like to reply?
