Thanks for the quick response

I’d be happy to use quick register, but I can’t see where to change the host from registering with the MAC address and instead register with the Chassis serial number…

I’d also like it to prompt for which Image ID, but that’s not a must.

I did have this working on 0.32 using this:

host=echo $caseserial | base64;

Hi All,

I’ve been trying to adjust fog so when we use a custom fog registration it doesn’t prompt for the Hostname but instead uses the chassis serial number which for Dell’s and HP’s normally relates to the service tag.

To create the custom.fog.reg I’ve duplicated fog.man.reg and changed line 158 from: ‘read host’

while [[ $res != "#!ok" ]]; do
    echo -n " * Enter hostname for this computer: "
    read host
    if [[ ${#host} -gt 15 ]]; then
        host=${host:0:15}
        echo " | Truncated to 15 characters: $host"
        usleep 2000000
    fi
    host=$(echo $host | base64)
    res=$(wget --post-data="host=$host" -qO - http://${web}service/hostnameloop.php 2>/dev/null)
    [[ $res != "#!ok" ]] && echo "$res"

To

# while [[ $res != "#!ok" ]]; do
#    echo -n " * Enter hostname for this computer: "
#    read host
#    if [[ ${#host} -gt 15 ]]; then
#        host=${host:0:15}
#        echo " | Truncated to 15 characters: $host"
#        usleep 2000000
#    fi
#    host=$(echo $host | base64)
#    res=$(wget --post-data="host=$host" -qO - http://${web}service/hostnameloop.php 2>/dev/null)
#    [[ $res != "#!ok" ]] && echo "$res"
#done
host=$(dmidecode -s chassis-serial-number)
echo “Host: ${host}”

Using the code from funcs.sh to grab the chassis-serial number unfortunately this is not working and the pxe seems to load the BZimage and then just skips to “complete” then reboots.

Can someone please help?

Please go easy on my I’m learning as I go here and this is all new territory to me!
