Operation Not supported

[Tom Elliott]

Instead of carrying over the host, could you completely delete the host and perform a Full Register, does it work if this method is used?

[Buddy]

How can I do a mass remove of the hosts?

[Buddy]

I took out the one of the problem hosts and it didn’t seem to care.

Found mass erase here [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/mass-delete-hosts.10396/#post-29140[/url] didn’t seem to have an effect.

Can you try following instructions from here:
[url]http://ipxe.org/err/3c0920[/url]

Do you have Option 66 set to FOGIP (the pointer to the tftpserver) or Option 67 set to default.ipxe?

While I realize things are working, for the most part, it may, very well, be an issue with the NIC firmware on that box. While not optimal, you could try booting a copy of the ipxe.iso file from CD or USB Disk and use that to pxe boot. You’d likely need your “default.ipxe” uploaded when building the iso.

You can build the ipxe.iso from [url]http://rom-o-matic.eu[/url]

Choose Advanced, for experienced users

Choose ISO bootable image (.iso)

Leave NIC type on all-drivers.

COM1-4 checked
COMCONSOLE: COM!
COMSPEED: 115200
COMDATA checked
COMPARITY 0
COMSTOP, 1

None of the PCIAPI Options.

Console Options
Only check CONSOLE_VESAFB, VESA framebuffer console

KEYBOARD_MAP: us

PCI_SETTINGS Checked
CPUID_SETTINGS Unchecked
MEMMAP_SETTINGS Unchecked

VMware options:
VMWARE_SETTINGS checked.

ISA Options:
none checked

Leave everything alone in Branding options

Leave Timer configuration with both options checked.

Leave only NET_PROTO_IPV4, IPv4 checked in Network Protocols.

Leave PXE support unchecked.

Download Protocols check TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, NFS

Leave SAN boot protocols unchecked.

Uncheck all Wireless Interface options

Leave Name resolution modules checked.

Only enable the following in Image Types:
IMAGE_PXE, IMAGE_BZIMAGE, IMAGE_PNG

Command-line commands to include check all ([b]EXCEPT[/b] the following)
IFMGMT_CMD
IWMGMT_CMD
PROFSTAT_CMD

Leave everything else the same.

In the embedded script:
Copy and paste the following:
[code]#!ipxe
dhcp || reboot
chain http://<FOG SERVER IP>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php || reboot[/code]
Click proceed.

Once the iso is downloaded, burn it to a cd and see if it works.

Opt 66 is set to fog server ip. Opt 67 was not on default.ipxe - I was on undionly.kpxe . If I change over to default.ipxe it hangs after getting gateway ip.

Will check out the boot disk in the AM.

[Buddy]

Ok something new. It appears that non of them are working. They all say operation not supported, but they move past it pretty quickly. Just the 390 and 990 get stuck on it.

[Tom Elliott]

67 is supposed to be undionly.kpxe, I was thinking of default and it just typed it sorry.

[Buddy]

Would hyper-v somehow cause this?

[Buddy]

Changed the hyper-v network adapter to legacy thinking that just maybe - but nope.

For future people with these problems - this worked. [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/ipxe-issues-work-around.10727/’][COLOR=#737373]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/ipxe-issues-work-around.10727/[/COLOR][/URL]
