Can the timeout be removed from the FOG menu?

[jpmfresno]

Is there a way to remove the timeout completely?

[Tom Elliott]

WHy would need the timeout removed? Are you asking if you can just have the hosts boot unless there’s a tasking? If so, yes, choose “no menu”.

To turn off the menu, look here:

web interface -> fog configuration -> iPXE Boot Menu -> no menu

I want the menu, just not the countdown. I would just like it to wait for my input without a time constraint. Any way to do that and keep the menu up?

@jpmfresno Set the timeout to 86400, that’s 24 hours in seconds.

[Tom Elliott]

@jpmfresno Yes, it is possible.

Set your iPXE Timeout to 0. The text box will display with no value, but will present the accurate data needed.

This can be done from:
FOG Configuration Page->iPXE Boot Menu->Menu Timeout (in seconds):*
OR
FOG Configuration Page->FOG Settings->FOG Boot Settings->FOG_PXE_MENU_TIMEOUT
