boot php - denied

@robertkwild Please boot up one that is working and pay close attention to the iPXE version number shown. Is it exactly the same as we see in the picture posted above - g3ae83?

Also you might tell us which model and make this machine is that’s causing the error.

What’s the DHCP server in your network? Installed with FOG or Windows DHCP server?

[robertkwild]

heres a vm that network boots (also laptops hp 840 g3 are good but atm i have no laptops here to show you)

im not using fog for the dhcp, im using windows server 2012 r2, the options are below

the desktop in question that gets the error is a hp z640

Searching the forum I found that @JJ-Fullmer also has used HP Z640 machines some time ago. I am wondering if you have HTTPS enabled on your FOG server as well?

[robertkwild]

@sebastian-roth where would i find if i have https enabled on the fog server please?

do you think instead of using a self signed ssl cert i should use a wildcard public one, as i do have one

and then put my cert and private key here, replacing the self signed one

/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

if so where else would i need to change it, so fog uses my fqdn instead of my ip

[robertkwild]

ok, ive found the wiki on this

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=HTTPS

where would this location be on my server

fogproject/bin/error_logs/

[robertkwild]

i will close this case as i should had run “certstat” on the culprit machine and then i could had done more troubleshooting on it

and also the cmos battery was dead on this machine as it kept on saying the real time clock was out so this would have been another factor why the ipxe didnt work as its using a self signed cert https

my bad guys but thanks so much for all your input

That’s probably what was causing it! Great you found it.

@sebastian-roth thanks a lot

but v1.5.9 can handle nvme drives cant it?

Yes it can handle capturing from a (single) NVMe drive. Multiple NVMe drives can cause trouble, see here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/14822/nvme-madness

Holy cow that was a long time ago. That’s when we added nvme support. Good times.

Glad to hear you got it working @robertkwild sounds like it probably was the cmos/time issue.

[robertkwild]

@jj-fullmer thank you guys so much for all your help in this

when you say it can capture from a nvme drive, can it deploy an image to an nvme drive that was captured from a standard SATA

[Tom Elliott]

@robertkwild yes, it can.
