Lenovo 13W Yoga registration
-
We are able to boot to FOG and it shows that the host is not registered. The mac address at boot shows the System mac. When we try to register the host it gives the error that the host is already registered in fog. The mac address that it shows there is the mac address of the dongle. Why isn’t it using the mac address that it boots with?
-
@john-l-clark Look into the firmware setting for the network adapter and enable mac address pass through. The issue is currently iPXE is seeing the LOM mac address and FOS Linux is setting the network adapter (dongle) mac address. This is the conflict. This is typically seen on HP made computers.

@george1421 I have pass through enabled. I tried to upload an image of the bios settings but it keeps giving errors.
-
@john-l-clark based on the mac registration value and what iPXE sees in the menu can you tell me what mac address is regiered for this host in FOG? Is it the LOM mac address or the network adapter address?
How many of these computers do you have to manage?

@george1421 When I do a full host registration it has the mac address of the dongle. When it boots to windows it uses the system mac. I am able to edit the mac in the FOG gui and it works. We have 2 machines we are looking at right now but are looking at buying 150 more.
-
@george1421 When I mean it works, After replacing the mac in FOG after registration and boot to FOG again it then shows it is registered. If I don’t replace the mac it shows it is not registered.

@john-l-clark What version of the FOS Linux kernel are you using? (web ui -> fog configutation -> kernel update) Are you on 5.15.x
