FOG on Proxmox use UEFI booting.

[rurap]

Hi, I’m moving FOG to Proxmox. I currently have FOG installed on a physical computer on Ubuntu Server in Legacy mode, and I’m restoring systems in legacy mode. On the second computer I put Proxmox and there I created a VM with Ubuntu using the default SeaBIOS. Both FOG servers use dnsmasq with the same config (only different FOG server IP addresses). However, during registration and later restoring images from FOG on Proxmox, FOG uses booting after UEFI, not BIOS. Can someone explain to me why this is happening? Is it related to SeaBIOS? Or is it because Proxmox is based on UEFI?
I would like to be able to restore systems on Proxmox in both Legacy and UEFI mode, how to set legacy mode on VM in Proxmox?

@rurap I’ve read this a few times to make sure I understand what you are saying. If you are saying the firmware mode of the FOG server (bios or uefi) is having an impact on imaging a target computer, I don’t believe it. The firmware mode of the fog server (bios or uefi) has no control on what or how FOG images. In fact FOS Linux (the engine that clones target systems) has no viability into the FOG server’s setup. Its only interaction with the fog server is over http/ftp/and nfs.

registration and later restoring images from FOG on Proxmox, FOG uses booting after UEFI, not BIOS.

Would you explain this phrase a bit more. I’m not sure I’m understanding the problem.

I had a problem when capturing an image when the computer was in legacy mode, when it was in UEFI mode everything worked. Then I reinstalled FOG on PROXMOX and I didn’t check Legacy mode anymore, but now I just tested imaging in legacy mode and everything works. That’s why I thought it was somehow dependent on whether fog was installed in UEFI/Legacy mode. Topic to close then.
