DHCP option 67

@FOG38640 Hyper-V is a bit of a strange bird. If you get to the initalizing devices then you will have no issues with a physical machine. You just need to be mindful of the target arch of the pxe booting computer and send the right boot file. With hyper-v a type 1 (bios) typically use undionly.kpxe, if that is getting stuck then try ipxe.kpxe. For uefi ipxe.efi is the preferred and the alternate is snponly.efi.

Good morning all,
I am coming back to you after having been able to test the fog server on real machines. These all have catch spots. I tried with multiple conf files in DCHP option 67 but got an error message.
Here it is :
Is there something to do?

For information 192.168.0.54 is a dhcp server (Windows server 2019)

My kernel is up to date and fog to the latest version 1.5.9
What was your message?
-
@FOG38640 This issue isn’t related to pxe booting. This is something in fos linux. I would recommend you update to the latest kernel (fog configuration -> Kernel update).
Lets confirm a few things too.
Is your fog server at 192.168.0.54?
Can you access the fog server athttp://192.168.0.54/fog?
What network adapter is in this target computer?According to the messages this should be working. We have seen some realtek nic behave a bit odd on occasion.

This does not mean you have the latest kernel. There was a new kernel released right after 1.5.9 was released. The 1.5.9 release used 4.19.143 and the updated kernel is 5.6.18,

The address 192.168.0.54 is the address of the DHCP server (Windows server).
The address of fog is 192.168.0.168.
The computer’s network card is an Intel Gigabit. -
There is nothing in the kernel version.

Ok well that would be wrong in the settings. Look under FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> Expand all (button)
Search for 192.168.0.54 this IP address should not be set in any of the configuration settings. If it exists replace it with the FOG server IP. This error is because the ip address check is wrong.

Does your fog have direct internet access or is it via a proxy server? If its via a proxy server you will need to set the proxy server fields in FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings ->Expand All -> Proxy Settings
-
In the TFTP settings of the server, it was to enter the IP address of the FOG server.
I put the one from FOG and could do the kernel update.
I’m trying tomorrow at work.
Thanks again for the help -
@FOG38640 OK good. There is another place to just check twice. In Storage Node -> Default. There is also an IP address of the FOG server. Make sure that has the correct IP address.

You did well tell me to change the IP address in the storage node.
The FOG server works great !!
Thanks a lot for your help!
By chance :
Is there an option for FOG to automatically choose between BIOS and UEFI? -

For what? For the network boot file?
If so that is done by your dhcp server. What is your dhcp server? (its been a few days so I don’t remember, a quick scan of the thread didn’t answer that question either)
Edit: found it way at the bottom Windows 2019 server. So there is instructions for windows 2012 and later. Hopefully it translates to 2019 dhcp servers. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Using_Windows_Server_2012_.28R1_and_later.29_DHCP_Policy
