RE: PXI Image menu on new installation
@george1421 Having spoken to a colleague yesterday evening we have come to the (not unsurprising) conclusion that life is too short to do battle with 20 old images that are very unlikely to be used much.
Four images of our most used builds should probably address 95% of our needs, so we will just grab those 4 machines, image them on to the new fog server, and commence from there. It’s really not worth losing sleep and brain cells to take the obscure images any further.I now need to decide whether to drop the database and reinstall fog, or just delete all test images, and start with an empty set of images.

RE: PXI Image menu on new installation
@george1421 Yes thanks, I am fine with mysql commands, been doing it for far too many years!
Just as an aside - do you know anything about the imageSize column ?

@george1421 Giving me rope could be dangerous
Ok, manually entering data with little knowledge did not work - Pxe image menu did not magically contain an extra entry, so I must have missed something.
I will try following your suggestions in some detail, and see what works.
I would like to say that I am very grateful for your generosity in helping me with this - it is very kind of you.

RE: PXI Image menu on new installation
@george1421 To be honest, if I could see the export, I would use it. However, needs must when the devil drives, and all that. I cant see any other way available.

RE: PXI Image menu on new installation
@george1421 Yeah, I can’t see export on 0.32 menus. I’ll maybe try entering just one image into images table, and see what happens. Worst case I can remove the row. I will restart fog server after insert, to avoid any in-memoy caching

RE: PXI Image menu on new installation
@george1421 It now takes me to the menu ! Hooray !
Menu shows 3 images, which corresponds to 3 entries in images table. I have a big bunch of image folders from original server - can I copy them over and add matching entries into the images table ? (Effectively a manual import)
If I do this, are there other table updates I need to make ?
Most entries in images table seem straightforward, but imageSize looks a little strange - any docs on this ? -

@george1421 DHCP Server is our Windows DC (unavoidably so), running Windows Server 2012R2
Yes, we will need to support UEFI devices too. -
RE: PXI Image menu on new installation
@george1421 What target to I need in DHCP 067 entry to be ? Current DHCP setup for fog is:
060 192.168.1.175 - PxeClient
066 192.168.1.175 - Boot Server host name
067 pxelinux.0 Bootfile name
(actually there are 2x 067 entries - the above on no policy, and ipxe7156.efi on EUFI policy)How do I 1) make the Quick / Deploy image appear, and 2) update the menu with new images as they appear ?

RE: PXI Image menu on new installation
@george1421 Original fog is 0.32. New build is 1.5.4, so quite substantially newer!
