Sorry for the 8 month reply. It worked as you pointed out! I have switched to RHEL 9.5

Here is how it was done if someone is interested:

Download the RHEL9.5.iso to the fog server (mine is running Ubuntu)
sudo mkdir /mnt/rhel_iso
sudo mount -o loop /path/to/rhel-9.5.iso /mnt/rhel_iso

Copy the contents to var:
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/rhel9.5
sudo cp -r /mnt/rhel_iso/* /var/www/html/rhel9.5/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/rhel9.5

Get the vmlinuz and initrd.img from the /var/www/html/rhel9.5 to /tftpboot/rhel9.5 (create /tftpboot/rhel9.5 folder)
sudo cp /var/www/html/rhel9.5/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz /tftpboot/rhel9.5/
sudo cp /var/www/html/rhel9.5/images/pxeboot/initrd.img /tftpboot/rhel9.5/

Before you move on, go to http://your-fog-server-ip/rhel9.5 make sure you can see the directories of the iso content you dropped in /var/www/html/rhel9.5

Set up the Menu on the Fog UI (Here is mine)

kernel tftp://10.10.10.6/rhel9.5/vmlinuz
initrd tftp://10.10.10.6/rhel9.5/initrd.img
imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img ip=dhcp inst.repo=http://10.10.10.6/rhel9.5/ splash quiet
boot || goto MENU

I want to transfer the “Gold” Images from the server in the other site. Can I just copy and paste the Images Folder from from the other Linux Machine?

The short answer is yes, but there is something you need to know.

FOG Images are made up of two components. The first is the raw data files that are kept in /images directory on your fog server. The second part is the metadata kept in the database. You need both to make the image functional. You can copy the files over by hand, but you will need to either recreate the metadata on the target system by hand (not a difficult task) or export the the image definitions from the source computer and import them on the destination computer

Now one other tidbit that is not supported by the developers, but it works. If on your master server you add the remote fog server as a storage node. The main fog server will be a master node and the remote server is a storage node (just in the context of this configuration), the master node will copy any image marked as exportable all storage nodes in its storage group. This will get the raw images over to the target system using the standard fog image replication. But the thing it doesn’t do is copy over the image definitions. You will need to do this using the export and import method, or by manually creating the image definitions by hand. Using this method you can have golden images pushed out by HQ and each site will still be able to create their own golden images too.
