Virtualization Question

Hello there:

I´m trying to install a little network with a Server running a VM stuff
and three desktop without hard disk. The three desktops have to boot
from DHCP that WM Images from the server but I’m really new whit it and
I have read a lot stuff but now I’m really confused.

It can be done? What is the software I can use to do that? Please tell
where to read to start my little project!

Thanks a lot guys

RRincon.

I’m a little confused. Do you have a physical server and three physical
work stations? If so, what does virtualization have to do with it?

Be that as it may, I think you might want to read up on TFTP, a tiny FTP
server that is primarily used for just this sort of thing, allowing a
workstation to boot from a network source, rather than disk.

Hey Larry,

Thanks for your response, I’m really confused!

Yes I have one server and three workstations, there all are physicals.
I’m trying to boot a OS image from the server with by DHCP or some think
else. Just Need to know where to start to read. By now I’ll check the
FTP solution.
