@pa_fog_man I think we have a bit of confusion here (and the 390 is not helping with clarification). First let me say that the Dell’s will let you dynamically boot in the other mode without changing the firmware (where it gets its default value). You can do this dynamic switching from the F12 boot menu. The other issue with the 390s (I can’t speak for personal experience with the 390s, but we have 790s in our fleet) the 790s were the first generation to support UEFI mode. But as far as I know, the 790s don’t support pxe booting in uefi mode. The 7010s was the first generation to support pxe booting in uefi mode. To pxe boot on the 7010s you would have to enable the uefi network stack on the network adapter settings in the bios. Otherwise you would not get ipv4 and ipv6 entries under uefi on the F12 boot menu.

Back on point. You MUST select the proper boot kernel for the target system bios mode (legacy/bios or UEFI). If you sent the wrong boot file to the system you will not see the FOG iPXE boot menu.

for bios mode you can use ipxe.pxe or undionly.kpxe
for uefi mode you can use ipxe.efi or snponly.efi

The bold text above are the typical kernels to set for dhcp option 67.

You can not mix the boot kernels. This isn’t a FOG issue, but rather a firmware one.

@george1421 Gotchya, that explains it, Thank you! 😄

@msi said in 503 Service Unavailable:

didn’t change routeraddress, plainrouter, and dns address.

Those settings only affect DHCP on the fog server (If you’re using fog for DHCP). They would not affect web gui operation.

hi gencap
thanks for this post, new version MulticastTask.class.php in fog 1.5.4 have different code, if i change code like in image can run?0_1529778534816_fogLimitBitrate.PNG

I figured it out - I forgot you cannot try to take a new image over an existing image. We already had taken an image with the exact same folder name and when FOS tried to move the files, it failed. When I deleted the old folder, the image capture worked perfectly. My bad!

@imagingmaster21 Ahh, now I get what you mean. Thanks for letting us know.

@jmg74 said in dell optiplex 3050 avec windows 10 UEFI:

@verdierr : have you tried different options in your host config in Fog website, about “Host Bios/EFI Exit Type” ?
[FR : As-tu tenté différentes options, pour ton hôte (via le site web de FOG), concernant “Host Bios/EFI Exit Type” ?]

we tried every possible combination but none worked.

for option 60, we have legacy computers and to try the uefi, we saw on the web that you have to activate option 60?

@dj FOS (name for the FOG system that loads at that point) doesn’t need /sbin/mount.nfs

I just checked and tested and it all works fine in my environment.

Can you run mount -v | grep images on a system where you were able to mount the nfs share and take a screenshot/paste it here?

What Ubuntu version is the FOG server running btw?

Did you test the mount in FOS on a system that mount does work in a full linux distro?

well, what i needed was the french keyboard for the registration/capture/deploy.

I followed Quazz advice (General settings / keymap : azerty) and all is good now !

thanks 🙂

@p4cm4n also, tried cmd and batch from sfx archives, specifically 7zip sfx maker which threw an error trying to run on my own machine and winrar sfx maker. Rar is crappier compression but oh well. One of those worked can’t remember which…but things like wifi configs using it didnt.

@wayne-workman said in udhcpc **deleting routers**:

DHCP failed… after press enter…

I am fairly sure this is not the exact message. @Satheesh Please take a picture of the error on screen and upload here so we see what exactly you see on screen.

@jackiejack Reinstalled my centos 7 and did not tamper with anything. Fresh install of fog. Works perfect.

My adding repos and setting the priorities of them caused the confusion. Just let fog do its thing.

@howtogravity OK very good. The lsblk program tells us everything, and your setup is perfect. As long as when you reboot the lsblk gives you the same values you are good to go.

So if you look at the output of lsblk you can see that /dev/sdb1 (the first partition on the second hard drive) is connected to (mounted on) /images. This means any files written to /images will go to your second hard drive.

The output of the df -h program tells us how much disk usage you currently have/are using. Those numbers look good too.

I have gotten in the habit of downloading the binaries before the install. It’s just too long to wait for them without knowing what’s going on if you let the install script do it.

One other possible solution is Veeam Backup Agent (free). This will do a full system backup with bare metal restore. You can back up to a NAS, Veeam B&R Server ($$), or other network storage device. If you have a system failure, you boot from the linux boot cdrom, connect to your storage device and then restore your system. This is one way to protect your fog server. There may be native (Ubuntu) options like Bacula too.

Try to stop the firewall and see.

systemctl stop firewalld

@sebastian-roth, actually I always do that first thing. I saw that post and realized that barring the similar error message, it had nothing to do with my problem, unfortunately, so I moved on.

@georger Please schedule a debug capture task (like normal but hit the checkbox for debug just before submitting) when you get to the shell please run the following commands:

gdisk -l /dev/sda ... fixparts /dev/sda ...

The later command will ask you to confirm so you go y ENTER w ENTER y ENTER. Possibly it will print out an error and quit straight away. Take a picture of the screen and post here.

@kermit1991 Do you see this issue on all your clients or just when using an USB ethernet adapter? Have you tried using the ethernet adapter together with different clients. Sometimes adapters and client’s BIOS/UEFI firmware just don’t play together well enough. On the other hand some USB ethernet adapters just don’t play nicely altogether. It’s a long process to figure out what exactly the issue is. So start by telling us more about the exact USB adapter you have and make/model of PC/laptop you use.
