    • RE: Create UEFI ISO and prepare Surface go deployement.

      @george1421 a big thank you !

      Surface tablet don’t have integrated ethernet interface thus i can’t boot using UEFI PXE even if in the bios i have UEFI ipv6 and ipv4 pxe entry.

      I used your FOS image and burn on a usb stick ( we have a lot usb keys thanks to dell !) then i changed the grub.cfg file to use my fog server ip and add french keymap !

      I changed some files on the usb stick, i replaced the bzImage, bzImage32, init.xz and init_32.xz files to get the latest kernel avalable to be sure that everything work.

      Now i can deploy image on surface go tablet without trouble !

    • Add image versioning

      Can we get image versioning ?

      For example, when we capture image from a computer to a already existing image file, got a new version of it rather than overwriting

      If is not possible, add a password prompt when clicking on capture on the host tab

      This is to avoid to do some mistake or to go back to a older image if all go wrong

      Thanks,

      @Sebastian-Roth said in Create UEFI ISO and prepare Surface go deployement.:

      @TheDiskDrive Re-reading the whole topic I think I have missed an important part. Just can’t keep all the details of all the different posts in my head. So let’s go back a few steps.

      Okay i think i have found why i can’t use the task “deploy” on a group of computer.
      For some reason there no storage node being used.

      I am not sure why but seems like this is normal. I just tried a multicast deploy on my test system and this table column is empty for me as well. I am fairly sure this is not what is causing the issue for you. See what George posted earlier.

      Is not about multicast deploy but the “Deploy” task, here is my issue

      I go to a group of computer then i click on basic task and select deploy task
      Deploy_Task.png

      here is a list of 10 computer from the group
      Group_Task_Deploy.png

      When i launch the task and watching task progression ( in task management section) no working node is used but when i create deploy task to ONE computer ( the first computer named GEII) the defaultMember node is used
      Working_Node.png

      When i’ve installed fog on my debian server i’ve changed the path in the Storage node settings to use my 1 tb virtual disk and moved all the data from the default path to my 1tb drive (/data on /dev/sdb)

      DataPath.png

      By the way i have deployed all my tablets, deployement took 5 minutes per machine. Now i want to understand where i’m wrong

      Here the screenshot, i’m using the default storage node.

      the only thing i have changed is the Image Path and FTP Path

      Hi everyone !

      Okay i think i have found why i can’t use the task “deploy” on a group of computer.

      For some reason there no storage node being used.

      very weird…

      on a single computer the default storage node is used.

    • RE: Create UEFI ISO and prepare Surface go deployement.

      @george1421 i have this error even when i created the multicast task.

      when i create my multicast task i do this:

      I select the computer group, click basic task and select multicast task and select “check Schedule instant”.

      then i power on my computer and i have the fatal error unknow request type error after the machine got their IP addresses.

      i tried another way

      i’ve tried the deploy task to a 10 tablet group and this is not working i have this following error:

      Invalid storage group

      I looked my fog group storage configuration and is was set to 30 max client.

    • RE: Create UEFI ISO and prepare Surface go deployement.

      Hello,

      Today is the D-day, i’m trying to deploy my image and i run into some error, i’m unable to multicast my image with the USB drive.

      When i multi cast i got this error

      Fatal Error: unknow request type :: Null

      Kernel Variables and settings:

      Boot_Image=/boot/bzImage loglevel=4 initrd=init.xz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 keymap=fr web=10.X.X.XX/fog boottype=usb consoleblank=0 rootfstype=ext4

      I can only Deploy or Capture my image. I have 10 hosts in my tablet group and when i use the deploy task i had invalid storage group error.

      so how to make a multicast deployment using usb drive ? ( i think is a grub parameter to add on the menu entry ? )

      thank you !

    • RE: Create UEFI ISO and prepare Surface go deployement.

      Okay.

      @Sebastian-Roth on the boot menu i have nothing even with the netboot.xyz iso ( no UEFI DVD drive entry )

      I used the netboot.xyz iso to check how the iso is structured.

      @george1421 yes this seem be simple, on every uefi iso that i downloaded (debian, windows) there is a efi folder then the boot subfolder and finally the efi file.

      but sadly this seem not working even with the efi iso from netboot.xyz

      so i giving up to create a iso file for now, maybe with the USB script there is a way to make possible ?

      i’m testing the USB creation script, this seem not compatible with debian 9.6.
