@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 !

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

here is a list of 10 computer from the group

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

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)

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

i’m using the default username and password, they are removed for the screenshot.

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

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

@Sebastian-Roth No

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.

@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.

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 !

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.
