For some reason, starting a PXE boot installation of RHEL6.4 on UEFI systems is poorly documented. Simultaneously, the process is not terribly verbose when it fails. Here's what I had to do to get this to work.
We going to use Cobbler to take care of a lot of the gruntwork (TFTP, DHCP, etc). It's entirely possible to do it without Cobbler, but even accounting for its warts it will make you more
| #!/etc/init/carbon-cache.conf | |
| description "Carbon server" | |
| start on filesystem or runlevel [2345] | |
| stop on runlevel [!2345] | |
| umask 022 | |
| expect fork | |
| respawn |
Two ways to do it, but only worked for me so I'll put it first and the second for reference:
$ openssl pkcs12 -export -in hostname.crt -inkey hostname.key -out hostname.p12
$ openssl pkcs12 -in hostname.p12 -nodes -out hostname.pem
Other options for this method in comments below:
# Note, the -certfile root.crt appends all CA certs to the export, I've never needed these so it's optional for my personal steps
$ openssl pkcs12 -export -in hostname.crt -inkey hostname.key -certfile root.crt -out hostname.p12
