Hello,

The installation for fog does not have the same dhcp and router address. What is the work around for this and if accept the wrong one will I be able to change it later?

-Debian
-1.5.7

@george1421 sorry I need an answer to this as I need to test it out and let my manager know if this will be completed in time. Thank you.

@george1421 I don’t see the file, I have tested it on my desktop and I do see it should I just transfer the file to the VM. Also, I am beginning to think this is an issue with DHCP. I am not sure if I can check if I chose to set up FOG with DHCP. If there is a way to check this and find out let me know.

Also, when I try to boot PXEI get the DHCP answering to net0 is this correct?

@george1421

@george1421

for number 4.From a functioning FOG server copy /tftpboot/ipxe.efi to your windows computers. (pscp from putty tools works great)

Do I have to build the file? if so would I use this https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=IPXE#Compile?

@george1421 I was able to enable everything except network stack, there is no advanced setting to enable this and it not in BIOS. I will have to boot iPXE from a usb stick. If you can please link the tutorials so that I can get started. Thank you.

@Sebastian-Roth Do you think I can troubleshoot the issue through iPXE command line. If so do you have information on commands I can follow for FOG?

@Sebastian-Roth Acer Predator 17 GX-792-7448 17.3" Gaming Laptop Computer - Black Intel Core i7-7700HQ Processor; NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080 8GB GDDR5X VR Ready; 16GB DDR4-2400 RAM; 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD

this the laptop info. I added the wrong one. Thanks.

I will test the method that you said. I will have to test different things out.

@Sebastian-Roth If you are referencing the GPU servers I would not not worry about that as someone else will be working on this for now. If you do need the name make and model of the servers we have here they are the Dell PowerEdge R720 also the machines that I am trying to PXE boot off of are Acer Predator V1.05 Predator 2.64. I will get the screenshots for you later, but hopefully this information will suffice.

I was able to get a PXE boot from BIOS, but I got an error saying “changeloading failed” I have seen a forum on this issue. I will continue to troubleshoot from the directions in that forum, but if you have any suggestion considering from the above parapgraph let me know. Thanks

@Sebastian-Roth Okay, so if I wanted to do this on the GPU servers I would have to do the same thing? If it is on the same network it should be able to PXE boot. Do you have any suggestions as to why it would not PXE boot. I checked BIOS and there is no option to enable PXE.

@Sebastian-Roth I am not sure how to PXE boot I tried the f2 and f12. Also, by GPU I mean the driver not the hardware if it can be pushed to one or more hosts than you have answered my question. Thanks.

@Sebastian-RothI am here now. disregard the last question. How do I know if the image has actually been captures, also I need to know if the GPU’s have been captured as the second machine that I deployed to has some faulty GPU’s.

@Sebastian-Roth I was finally able to get it. I am at the confirm tasking menu now. I am not sure I understand the tasking. So, if you can give me more information ti make sure I am choosing the correct option, let me know. Thank you.

@Sebastian-Roth I created the images associated with the hosts, but it is still directing me to host info.

@Sebastian-Roth sorry for the confusion again. I was trying to fix the issue quickly, so I know that it did not make sense. I have created the hosts, but I am not sure how to capture the image. When I click on capture in the task tab I am routed to the Host general information. Do I have to export hosts? Also, would I need to fill out everything on the general host information such as host product key, kernel arguments, Host init, host primary key, BIOS, EFI exit type?

@Sebastian-Roth I am guessing it does not matter if I have the set default IP as long as its in some type of nano file and set to default gateway. As a workaround I have added the host machines by finding the MAC addresses. I have the machines that is reading it as a windows machine, but it is on linux. Can you provide any information to this. Al, let me know if I am correct on the IP. Thanks.

Ubuntu 18.04.3, FOG version 1.5.7

I already tried changing it. I just left it like this in nano since when I changed it through the FOG console I was not able to connect to the storage node disk. Am I supposed to add the images and the users or is it supposed to automatically find the computers on the network?

@Sebastian-Roth yes, you are right. I apologize for the confusion. Thanks.
