PXE boot guidelines for UEFI servers (2024)

  • When the server is configured for UEFI Boot Mode, PXE servers must be configured with a UEFI boot image. For x64 EFI machines, the DHCP server also needs to be configured to support x64 EFI DHCP boot requests.

    For more information, see the UEFI System Utilities user guide for your product on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/uefi/docs).

  • When booting VMware ESX in UEFI Boot Mode, UEFI Optimized Boot must be enabled.
  • When the server boots in UEFI Boot Mode, it does not boot media with a legacy OS installation. This includes DOS targets and Windows or Linux systems installed in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. The reverse is also true for servers that boot in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode.
