On this deploying step, I can see deploy images/config are put to each instance's UUID directory @/httpboot/ directory. And then, the provisioning state is changed from [deploying] to [wait call-back]. Even though ipmitool turns on the system, those systems can't find deploy images.

Then, overcloud nodes could boot from agent.kernel/ramdisk from undercloud:/tftpboot properly. But, I don't know how overcloud nodes can get deploy/overcloud images.

If that default file is removed, system is unable to locate tftp configuration. How can I make controller/compute boot from right deploy images? Should I setup something for the httpboot/ipxe?

What is supposed to happen when introspection completes is that the
Undercloud will add the MAC address of the newly-discovered system to
iptables in order to block DHCP requests from reaching
ironic-discovery's dnsmasq. If that doesn't happen, then you get a loop
where the discovery image boots instead of the deploy image.

Check your iptables and make sure that you see the MAC addresses added
to the "discovery" chain, like this:

Chain discovery (1 references)
target     prot opt source   destination
DROP       all  --  anywhere anywhere             MAC 00:21:BA:17:0D:2B
DROP       all  --  anywhere anywhere             MAC 00:3C:A6:BB:68:FC
DROP       all  --  anywhere anywhere             MAC 00:92:5D:AE:62:37

Also, make sure that iptables is running, and that you don't have more
than one interface attached to the provisioning network on the
overcloud nodes. If you do, there is a workaround, but it's cleanest to
just make sure you have only one interface attached to the provisioning
interface.
