How to enable/disable PXE boot server on Security Event Manager Controller

Security Event Manager Controller requires a PXE boot server to boot the network hosts in order to process deployment, scale-up or blade replacement. In a FortiAnalyzer-BigData 4500F appliance, this PXE boot server is disabled by default. You may want to enable it to allow certain operations, or disable it to avoid any unintended network boot in the FortiAnalyzer-BigData deployment’s internal network.

To disable the PXE boot server

Access the Security Event Manager Controller (see To connect to the Security Event Manager Controller) and run the following command to enable installation of system software on the new VM instance:

fazbdctl disable pxe

To enable the PXE boot server

Access the Security Event Manager Controller (see To connect to the Security Event Manager Controller) and run the following command to enable installation of system software on the new VM instance:

fazbdctl enable pxe
