Hard Copy of Images

[thequicken]

Hello all,

Cannot seem to find this info, hence the post.

Issue with my old FOG server prompted me to “kill” it and create a new one.
Before I did kill it, I copied the images off to a network share.
So now I am attempting to “hard copy” the images back into the new server image dir - and of course the WEB UI under IMAGES does not see them.

Any direction on steps to accomplish a migration this way?

@thequicken Just create new mage definitions in the web UI manually and make sure name and even more important path match exactly what you have with the existing images. Be aware that case is important as well - Image123 is not image123!

@thequicken Seconding what Sebastian said. I did a migration a few weeks ago and the same process worked for me. Names and paths must match exactly

@sebastian-roth Ok - thank you - that works! ( I actually did see mention of this but did not quite follow through on testing it)

ipxe boot issues with https enabled (I enabled https on the old server and it all went wrong).

Ran into this issue again with new server this morning – looked at the system time of the pc, date was way off – corrected and booted fine…I gather system time + UEFI + https ipxe is crucial?

Regardless, I appreciate the quick replies!
