i am sorry but i applied nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500 and nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 in the settings.
I updated to the latest version last night - 1.5.8.28.
this is as far as i have went since it appears to be hard drive issue or how the software is seeing the hard drive. I did not know what else to try.
I having issues when i try to image a dell 7070 . It has hard drive Model – mz-9lq256a
Part Number – MZ9LQ256HAJD-000D1. It is slow and sometimes disconnects. If i switch the hard drive to Kxg50znv256 NVME Toshiba 256gb everything is fast and works again. I have seen this post but the fix does not work.
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13777/extremely-slow-deploy-to-nvme-drives/17?lang=en-US&page=1
I know for a fact and can replicate the issue if i put back the hard drive that it came with mz-9lq256a.
does anyone know how to fix this ? I am working with dell on getting the hard drives replaced but would love to find out a way to work around it. We have a bunch of 7070 in stock.
@george1421 I will delete this link once you confirm you received the file

@george1421 TFTP time out . I get an ip address and subnet mask and dns on the remote computer. Just nothing else after that. I know this computer has no issue. I can put it on another subnet mask and it pulls up on our second fog server. I am creating one for another site.
@george1421 yes we are on the same subnet .
@george1421 i did send you a chat message
i am using our network dhcp server.
I have another fog server on the network that works fine. I am able to isolate to this subnet and it is not working there . I did change back to fog project with the correct password. I even looked at the other settings on fog server and looks correct.
I ran the normal install and unable to figure out how to get tftpboot to work. I have tried all the troubleshooting on this page
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Unable_to_connect_to_TFTP
Everything works and i am able to get the TFTP file transfer. I then went and checked the user settings in the fog server. I changed it from fogproject to the user on the ubuntu box. I then ran TFTP transfer and still works. I have check our fog server and settings for 66 and 67 and that appears to be fine.
I keep getting a time out. I even changed the permissions to the current user logged in.
What else should i check ? I am willing to make a donation to get it fixed and tell me what is wrong.
Thank you everyone for your help. I had networking team move to same vlan and it worked fine. Then i had them move to seperate vlan and use wireshark. I found out we had sccm pxe setup. This was done long time ago. No one removed the forwards on the router.
Now we have it working once we removed the entries.
Thank you all for replying. I will have to look at this on monday. I know the fog server and the client are on different subnet. I will have to work with our networking team to get at least one computer on the same subnet. Once i am on the same subnet i will go ahead and run your tests.
Thank you so much. I have never joined an existing network so it is all new to me. I will grab captures once that happens.
stay tuned.
I was able to manually download a file from the TFTP server when i was logged into my windows machine. I used tftp -i x.x.x.x get undionly.kpxe. It successfully downloaded the file. So i know the services were up and running.
it is when i try to pxe boot is when i run into issues. It is on seperate vlan.
I have read over the wiki on how to get this working on an existing network and having some issues. I know we are using cisco routers and we have things pointed correctly.
I am able to boot up and it grabs and Ip address and then all the other information. It just fails at pxe.
I have an ip address, subnet mask , and gateway.
error is
pxe-e32 tftp open timeout
pxe-m0f exiting intel boot agent.
If i could paypal someone to look into the server to make sure it is correct I am willing to do that. I just want to make sure i have that part setup. I normally only do this on an isolated network and have no issues.
i have finally figured out how to get vm workstation working with no problems. My computer is plugged into real network at the time. I have to plug into the isolated network. When it pulls an IP address I then go and disable the adapter and enable it again. it then gets the ip address again. I then run ipconfig /flushdns.
After i do that and only then will i start VM workstation. i will go to the vm and go back to my snapshot. before i open it i always make sure the settings are showing bridged. I then power on the vm to the saved stated and run a ipconfig to make sure the computer and vm have actual same IPs in the subnet. Then run a flushdns on the vm. Then i sysprep and then boot to firmware on the vm. Then i pick network boot.
This has worked 7 times with no issues. I am sure i could cut out some steps but it is real easy for me to do all of it real quick. I only check to make sure it is bridged mode once.
Once i started to do this vm workstation work everytime and even on VM reboots.
I hope this helps someone else out.
Oh and i disable wireless first if you are using that.
@george1421 @Sebastian-Roth yes the only issues is vm workstation and it is in bridge mode. I just got it to work once so far. It is uploading the image and nothing changed at all. Just on that restart I did it just via network IP 4. I booted to firmware and then picked network card.
This drives me nuts .
@george1421 yes the fog server should be handling dns and dhcp. The computer gets an ip address each time and dns. I have a spare fog server i am booting up now but it had the same issues before .
@george1421 my setup is simple. I have a computer that is connected to netgear switch. It is an unmanaged switch. It then connects to the fog server . That is the only computers on this switch. We do not have it on a network at all but this isolated network. I have never ran into this issue. Before i brought it here it was pushing out images all day when you pulled the image- booting a computer up and then pulling the image from the fog server. One thing I did notice on the fog server that it is not putting a gateway in IPconfig. Not sure why. I am going to pull out my old laptop fog server . Do i need to get the special file off of it ? or are those files the same from server to server. That fog server is 1.0.5
@george1421 i made a usb boot disk but run into errors there too. This is a pain. I do not know how i am going to get my golden image updated. Here is the error i get
if i just boot the usb drive and computer. I get connected and IP address but then it says it can not find an image when i select it. UGH .
@george1421 i am lazy. I can paypal you some money if you make the iso for me LOL . Just let me know how much.
@mmoore5553 @george1421 I can confirm that it is hit or miss. It is very annoying. I would put the image on exsi but we have to have it on an isolated network. I just find it odd since this just started happening and i never had it before. I was using version 12 before but then it started doing the issue. Now I am back to not getting it to boot.
Something i really hate being the guy that maintains the golden image.
@george1421 I have finally got it resolved. I went back to vm workstation support and they updated a file in their install . Then it magically started to work
They think the install file was corrupt on their side
Too odd.
Thanks everyone helping
I was running the latest build on version 15
@Tom-Elliott if I reboot the computer it will find fog fine. No issues there at all. Just when I am in vmworkstation pro. it is VM software like virtualbox.
