      Okay.

      @Sebastian-Roth on the boot menu i have nothing even with the netboot.xyz iso ( no UEFI DVD drive entry )

      I used the netboot.xyz iso to check how the iso is structured.

      @george1421 yes this seem be simple, on every uefi iso that i downloaded (debian, windows) there is a efi folder then the boot subfolder and finally the efi file.

      but sadly this seem not working even with the efi iso from netboot.xyz

      so i giving up to create a iso file for now, maybe with the USB script there is a way to make possible ?

      i’m testing the USB creation script, this seem not compatible with debian 9.6.

      root@iutmfog:~# ./mk.fos-usb
      Make a blank 128MB disk image

      will try on Ubuntu 14.04 !

      meanwhile thanks you for your help !

        Don’t use this netboot thing. On your fog server in /tftpboot directory grab ipxe.efi. Move that to a usb flash drive in the correct directory and renamed correctly. This will work.

        I have a tutorial on this: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6350/usb-boot-uefi-client-into-fog-menu-easy-way

        If you are going the other path building the usb bootable FOS image. I can give you a jump start if you need. Look at the fog forum chat bubble.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          @george1421 a big thank you !

          Surface tablet don’t have integrated ethernet interface thus i can’t boot using UEFI PXE even if in the bios i have UEFI ipv6 and ipv4 pxe entry.

          I used your FOS image and burn on a usb stick ( we have a lot usb keys thanks to dell !) then i changed the grub.cfg file to use my fog server ip and add french keymap !

          I changed some files on the usb stick, i replaced the bzImage, bzImage32, init.xz and init_32.xz files to get the latest kernel avalable to be sure that everything work.

          Now i can deploy image on surface go tablet without trouble !

            Hello,

            Today is the D-day, i’m trying to deploy my image and i run into some error, i’m unable to multicast my image with the USB drive.

            When i multi cast i got this error

            Fatal Error: unknow request type :: Null

            Kernel Variables and settings:

            Boot_Image=/boot/bzImage loglevel=4 initrd=init.xz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 keymap=fr web=10.X.X.XX/fog boottype=usb consoleblank=0 rootfstype=ext4

            I can only Deploy or Capture my image. I have 10 hosts in my tablet group and when i use the deploy task i had invalid storage group error.

            so how to make a multicast deployment using usb drive ? ( i think is a grub parameter to add on the menu entry ? )

            thank you !

              Sorry I didn’t see this til now. The issue with the unknown user request is listed in the caveats. You MUST schedule the task in FOG BEFORE you select option 1 from the menu.

                Originally this wasn’t possible. I think there was some kernel parameter changes that now make it possible. I have not tested this feature as of now.

                  @george1421 i have this error even when i created the multicast task.

                  when i create my multicast task i do this:

                  I select the computer group, click basic task and select multicast task and select “check Schedule instant”.

                  then i power on my computer and i have the fatal error unknow request type error after the machine got their IP addresses.

                  i tried another way

                  i’ve tried the deploy task to a 10 tablet group and this is not working i have this following error:

                  Invalid storage group

                  I looked my fog group storage configuration and is was set to 30 max client.

                    Hi everyone !

                    Okay i think i have found why i can’t use the task “deploy” on a group of computer.

                    noStorageNode.PNG

                    For some reason there no storage node being used.

                    very weird…

                    on a single computer the default storage node is used.

                            Here the screenshot, i’m using the default storage node.

                            the only thing i have changed is the Image Path and FTP Path

                                  @TheDiskDrive Re-reading the whole topic I think I have missed an important part. Just can’t keep all the details of all the different posts in my head. So let’s go back a few steps.

                                  Okay i think i have found why i can’t use the task “deploy” on a group of computer.

                                  I am not sure why but seems like this is normal. I just tried a multicast deploy on my test system and this table column is empty for me as well. I am fairly sure this is not what is causing the issue for you. See what George posted earlier.

                                  The USB boot stuff is not a fully official part of FOG and therefore we might not have noticed that multicast is not working using that. @george1421 would you have the chance to give it a try and see if it fails for you as well. If so I will have a closer look and try to fix it.

                                    I think it should be possible since the session name is no longer needed. Getting the session name in grub menu wasn’t possible. That is why it didn’t work before. I can test when I’m back in the office. I’m currently on holiday so I don’t have any tools to test at the moment.

                                      Is not about multicast deploy but the “Deploy” task, here is my issue

                                      I go to a group of computer then i click on basic task and select deploy task
                                      Deploy_Task.png

                                      here is a list of 10 computer from the group
                                      Group_Task_Deploy.png

                                      When i launch the task and watching task progression ( in task management section) no working node is used but when i create deploy task to ONE computer ( the first computer named GEII) the defaultMember node is used
                                      Working_Node.png

                                      When i’ve installed fog on my debian server i’ve changed the path in the Storage node settings to use my 1 tb virtual disk and moved all the data from the default path to my 1tb drive (/data on /dev/sdb)

                                      DataPath.png

                                      By the way i have deployed all my tablets, deployement took 5 minutes per machine. Now i want to understand where i’m wrong

                                          @TheDiskDrive I have looked into this again and I am still not sure I really get this. You said:

                                          i’ve tried the deploy task to a 10 tablet group and this is not working i have this following error:
                                          Invalid storage group

                                          Where/when exactly do you get this error message? Please take a picture of the error on screen and post here!

                                          When i launch the task and watching task progression ( in task management section) no working node is used

                                          As I said before, the empty column in the web UI is not causing the problem from my point of view. I have just done another test and it deploys perfectly fine on my test systems.

                                          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                                            Just for the notes: I pushed a fix for populating the “Working with node” column properly. But still I don’t think this is causing @TheDiskDrive’s issue. Please post a picture of the error you see and we should be able to help.
