FOG BIOS And EFI Coexistence

[Junkhacker]

[quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 46747, member: 28155”]Actually, with DHCP classes / policies, you can have windows DHCP server what file you like… I’ve got a thread on it… Just haven’t been able to actually boot an EFI device at all… that’s what’s holding me back from trying it.

However, a dnsmasq solution will be very needed soon. Good work.[/quote]

i spotted your thread earlier, used it and i’ve been working with a Surface Pro 3 network booting all day. network boot works fine.

Are you using a dongle to Ethernet adapter, or WiFi ?

Are you coexisting BIOS PXE and UEFI PXE?

Not yet… I’ve just been researching it, but that’s the idea yeah. Sounds like Junkhacker already got it going.

I appear to be running into a PortFast issue. It will take me a bit to take control of the switches to blame. Those who can test this, please install dnsmasq, then use the attached file (saving it as /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf), replacing <FOG-IP> with your FOG server’s IP. Then, make a copy of undionly.kpxe and snponly.efi, calling the copies undionly.kpxe.0 and snponly.efi.0 respectively.

I can jump on this one…

I’ll backup my current config and try this… give me 30 minutes…

[Wayne Workman]

That’d be a negative… for both BIOS and UEFI… used two different machines to test.

I’ve attached my WORKING ltsp.conf file, and the one I got from here (which I ripped the comments out of, and changed IP, and repaced .kpxe and .efi with .0)

I also ensured I had the .0 files, too.

I use my router’s dnsmasq now, but this is my old working FOG dhcpd.conf that should do the trick.

Change the IP’s/bootfiles to suite your needs.

[CODE]# DHCP Server Configuration file.

see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample

This file was created by FOG

}else if option arch = 00:06 {

Give this a try under [B]tftp-root=/tftpboot[/B] (replace FOG with your FOG server’s hostname):

[CODE]dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,FOG,10.0.0.3
dhcp-match=set:efi-ia32,option:client-arch,6
dhcp-boot=tag:efi-ia32,ipxe.efi,FOG,10.0.0.3
dhcp-match=set:efi-x86_64,option:client-arch,7
dhcp-boot=tag:efi-x86_64,snp.efi,FOG,10.0.0.3
dhcp-range=10.0.0.3,proxy,255.255.255.0

using the microsoft USB dongle. my legacy machines are working like they always have, uefi machines are loading ipxe.efi

Do share how you did it.

Do I need to bribe you?

[Junkhacker]

for windows server 2012 DHCP, it was as simple as the link Wayne Workman posted.
[url]http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-January/021404.html[/url] create vendor class that matches uefi systems ([I][COLOR=#000000]PXEClient:Arch:00007[/COLOR][/I]) and give those that match a different bootfile (in my case, ipxe.efi)

[need2]

I see… interesting. This may be the direction that things have to go. DnsMasq seems in sufficient for EFI PXE and some older PXE clients. I’m still going to try a few things with it, but otherwise we might just have to make good documentation on the changes to make to a Windows 2012+ DHCP and a Linux DHCP to achieve coexistence. I will work on the Windows 2012 DHCP configs eventually (assuming DnsMasq fails me), but I will need to spin up a new 2012 server and integrate it to our domain first.

This is the thread:

[d4rk3]

Has anyone tried either of my configs I posted? Both of them properly serve legacy/efi bootfiles.

[Wayne Workman]

I will tonight. I had other things going on last night when you posted those.

[need2]

I will see what I can do as well… light staffing here today so I’m a bit busy.

[d4rk3]

No worries, just wanted to make sure nobody overlooked them.

I don’t know what parts you want me to take out, though…
