OVH custom iPXE boot (dedicated server)
Everything works well except the iPXE server seems to be under severe bandwidth limitation.
It takes three minutes to download a 270 MBs live kernel image and that's from OVH's own network.

Have you discovered the reason for this?
Having some trouble with this on SYS... created a couple of scripts in step 1 and confirmed they existed via GET request, but step 2 returns an empty array.

@gajus: Hopping through various OVH NOC technicians (yeah, yeah, you know what I mean 😜 ), they told me that the restriction is intentional and there's no way you can workaround it because several thousands of machines are booting from iPXE servers every second and UNDI drivers behind PXE are very slow 😱

Won't work for me on a SyS Server. Created an ipxeScript and got a bootid. However, if I try to activate the bootid for the Server the API just returns "null" and does not change the boot. (I can also choose the iPXE scripts within manager but same behavior here - just won't set it.)

Can somebody here help?
