@george1421 Great, thank you for the quick response.

I have fog set up almost exactly how I want it and everything is working great. However, I’d like to now change the default interface that it uses to eno1 instead of eno2 that it is currently using.

I saw a post here that looks like what I’m trying to do, https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/824/how-to-change-the-interface-for-fog-to-use-from-eth0-to-eth1-after-installing-fog. It looks fairly old and mentions updating FOG config files and making some changes in the FOG GUI settings.

What config files/GUI settings should I be updating to make this change? I’d prefer to not have to reinstall fog since I know very little about it and currently have everything except for this set up the way I need it to be.

If it is needed I am running fog on Debian 10. Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can provide.

@george1421 Okay, thank you for the clarification. Putting in a USB stick worked just fine for registering. I see some documentation here that I think may help me achieve what I am looking to do. I’ll look into that. I appreciate the help.

@Sebastian-Roth Update: I had a huge misunderstanding on my end I guess. Since I was wanting to use Fog to perform diskless boots I guess I didn’t understand that my client had to have a hard drive. So after hours of troubleshooting I put a blank drive in my system and it successfully registered…

Again, huge misunderstanding on my end and I apologize. I’m very new to Fog and should have read more documentation. This leads me to a question though. Is it possible to perform a diskless boot with an image on a client using fog? I feel like I read something that said it was possible using a live image.

The only change I’ve seen from my troubleshooting so far is that if I change Boot Exit to GRUB in the web GUI. Boot from hard disk on the client will go to a prompt that just says grub>.

Hi Sebastian, please see below:

The client:
MB: supermicro x10drw-i
CPUs: Intel Xeon E5-2618L V4

The Fog Server:
SSD: Micron 5100 960.1 GB
MB: supermicro x11ddw-L
CPUs: Intel Xeon Gold 6152

These are both custom build systems.

I am new to using FOG and trying to simply connect a client to my fog server and “Boot from hard disk.” I am using FOG version 1.5.9 on Debian and have FOG setup on an isolated network where the client and fog server are both connected via a switch.

Whenever I select the “Boot from hard disk” option the page refreshes. If I try to register I get an error saying “Cannot find disk on system (getHardDisk)…”. I did some digging online and have tried changing Fog Configuration>Fog Boot Settings>Boot Exit Type to all of the available options with no success. I’ve also gone into the BIOS and tried changing boot from Legacy to UEFI as well as confirming that hard drive settings are set to AHCI. Lastly, I tried a kernel update. Still unable to register or boot from hard disk.

Is there something I am missing? There is only one hard disk in my system. Again, I’m very new to using FOG so it could be something very obvious. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated as I’m currently out of ideas on what to try.
