Hello,
on CentOS 7.3.1611 (core) (3.10.0-514.26.2) i am trying to create working boot menu entry so the server will run the netinstall .iso image @ boot time. I do not know more simple / better way to run it being unable to upload via IPMI.
The ISO is: /boot/openvz-iso-7.0.4-698-netinstall.iso (in /dev/sda2), its structure:
EFI
-BOOT (BOOTx64.efi, grub.cfg, grubx64.efi)
images (efiboot.img)
-grub (grub.cfg)
--i386-pc (...)
--themes (...)
---virtuozzo (...)
--x86_64-efi (...)
-pxeboot (initrd.img, upgrade.img, vmlinuz)
LiveOS (osmin.img, squashfs.img)
i edited /etc/grub.d/40_custom
Quote:menuentry 'Install OpenVZ 7.0.4 (698)' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=openvz-iso-7.0.4-698 quiet ip=dhcp
initrd /images/pxeboot/initrd.img
}
(i also tried: set isofile="/boot/openvz-iso-7.0.4-698-netinstall.iso")
and then saved by "grub2-mkconfig" and reboot, but i never see the menu entry, i see only default ones.
Please what should i add into /etc/grub.d/40_custom or what is the most simple way to mount that netinstall iso @ boot?
I do not have physical access, just SSH and IPMI where IPMI somehow can't upload the iso (speed too slow).
Thank You

If you have restarted your server with the grub.conf design appeared above, at that point I presume your server is booting from the other drive which has a seperate duplicate of grub introduced.
Check your plate design, and you can either change the drive arrange in your Profiles or refresh grub's inside data.
Check/boot/grub/device.map to see which drives are set to boot
Have a look, if it is that necessary you can write my essay by default like here : grub -> grub> root (hd0,0) -> grub> setup (hd0) -> grub> quit
