NBoot, or NodeSpace Boot, is our own server provisioning system using a bootable ISO and an iPXE server. NBoot is currently under active development and we will be releasing NBoot as it is built upon open source software.

Requirements

N Boot requires you to have a bare metal or KVM VPS that can be booted via ISO or PXE within a NodeSpace data center. This is because our network boot checks for valid NodeSpace public IPs and registered MAC addresses. For virtual machines, we will have a self-registration mechanism.

You currently cannot use N Boot outside of NodeSpace!

Errors

We're still documenting most errors but we have the following recorded as common as well as causes and fixes.

You can also reference Nboot:Errors

N Boot is built with iPXE so standard iPXE error messages may occur. We'll update this documentation with additional error messages.
