@george1421 well, I am excited to say that it is working. I literally just readded what was already added, and re-tested. Could have been gremlins or lack of sleep, whatever the case, I am about to capture my image, and do a test deploy. I will ping you back shortly and you can close this as solved I do believe.
Thank you so much for the assistance. Ping me anytime you need a tester.

@george1421 Hi George. I removed the vendor class rules, and tested legacy pxe boot, and it is working.
Should 00007 and 00009 be the only vendor classes that I need to add now?
The PCs that will be UEFI booting are HP Elitedesk 800 G2 if it matters?
thanks for your assistance here btw.
@george1421 Let me add Arch 9 and test this morning and I will ping you back. Thank you very much, I appreciate the assist.
@george1421 said in EFI PXE Boot Setup and Questions:
There are not changes you need to do the fog server, since the issue is with your dhcp server not FOG at this point.
thanks George. Yes I only have one fog sever
Do you see any reason why I can’t use one vlan for EFI boot, and my other already configured vlans for bios? Then when I get the refresh completed, change the others to EFI?
I have had a Fog server setup and configured for the last 6 years, and it has ran pretty much flawslessly for most of that time. I have had the most friendly setup that fog can use, with Dell 7020’s and 9010’s, with legacy boot enabled. PXE boot to fog, or deploy the image from the console, piece of cake.
Recently we switched to HP, and are looking to go fully UEFI. Created a test vlan for this and added the same DHCP options on 66 and 67 I have always had, and added the vendor class rule EFI found HERE (PXEClient:Arch:00007). Currently, I can’t even get legacy to boot to pxe on this test vlan, much less EFI.
So a few basic questions first. Do I need to bounce my fog server before this will work (hasn’t been rebooted in 2 or 3 years)? For option 67, do I continue to use undionly.kpxe, or should I use ipxe.efi? Is there somewhere on the forums that has a complete list of what to put as the vendor class settings? PXEClient:Arch:00007 is the only vendor class settings that I added.
Just to get this to working, could I remove all of the vendor class setting rules, and change the boot file to ipxe.efi, and just use the vlan for imaging the new PCs?
Any assistance here is greatly appreciated.
@Sebastian-Roth It is registering hosts now. Thank you Sebastian!

Is above what I am expecting it to return?
@Sebastian-Roth sorry to keep running around in circles but I am back to the original issue now. I pulled the apache logs, and it it full of errors, like 12000+. The first 4000 or so are this error with various IPS:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Error multiple hosts returned for list of mac addresses in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/hostmanager.class.php:209\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogbase.class.php(571): HostManager->getHostByMacAddresses(Array)\n#1 /var/www/html/fog/lib/client/registerclient.class.php(46): FOGBase::getHostItem(true, false, false, true)\n#2 /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogpage.class.php(3013): RegisterClient->json()\n#3 /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogpage.class.php(249): FOGPage->requestClientInfo()\n#4 /var/www/html/fog/lib/pages/dashboardpage.class.php(76): FOGPage->__construct(‘Dashboard’)\n#5 /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/loadglobals.class.php(67): DashboardPage->__construct()\n#6 /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/loadglobals.class.php(81): LoadGlobals::_init()\n#7 /var/www/html/fog/commons/base.inc.php(49): LoadGlobals->__construct()\n#8 /var/www/html/fog/management/index.php(22): require(‘/var/www/html/f…’)\n#9 {main}
I removed all hosts from the web based interface last month, is there a way to delete the db and recreate it, or am I looking at something else?
got it to install with Https uncheck and using ip. Guys thank you, I should be good from here. I will update if not.
guys apologies, but i was in a pinch so I just upgraded to FOG 1.5.9, now I am getting an error when trying install the fog client on the VM, “unable to install CA Certificate”. I had this before and was able to install it using the fdqn, but now even that is not working.
