@Tom-Elliott said in Host not registered. But it is in FOG??:

isc dhcp server

I get this error…

@ch3i Will i need to re-install dnsmasq again. the service isnt starting and im not sure why. I have updated to RC14.

@Wayne-Workman any instructions on updating to RC14?

@adukes40 Ive done all of that…and then some! nothing seems to work? I tried it on a VM and that failed too. Not sure what im doing wrong.

Thats the versions

Are you using DNSMasq? if so there is a line where you declare the IP Address of your FOG server twice.

The setting is headed as #the boot file name.

In my case it was dhcp-boot=undionly.0,IPAddress,IPAddress

I didnt quite understand why it was delcared twice so i took one off. And whilst PXE booting it asked for the TFTP server IP address. When i put that back in it stopped asking.

Server

• FOG Version: 1.3
• OS: Ubuntu 16.04

Client

Description

I follow the instructions on how to kick off an upload of an image. This is how i understand it.

1. In FOG, Create and image
   2.Boot client machine onto the network and do a full inventory
   Once the machine has registered you go to HOST Management and click capture. which then brings up an advanced settings box. click the button. If WOL is ticked the machine boots…

So my question is when the client machine boots is there any user intervention required. Because i still have to press F12 to tell the system that it needs to boot off the LAN. This sounds wrong to me.

If I press F12, the FOG menu states client not registed, but when i tell it to register (again) it comes back as the client is already registered. It seems like an inifinte loop. So im not sure what is going wrong.

There are two settings in the Host Management screen. Host Bios Exit Type and Host EFI Exit Type. Do I need to set something on these.

@Tom-Elliott I had edited one conf file. But at the very start from the initial install the DIR structure wasnt correct. EG the TFTPROOT/TFTPBOOT didnt exist where is should have been?

Nothing was changed at the point of install. And i re-installed Ubuntu 16.04 and FOG 1.3 several times with the same results.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Finally got it to work!!

Cant wait to use it with gusto!

is the path relative. I guess i have to put the file in the folder /tftboot. But on the pxe screen its looking for the file in /IPSERVER/filename?

and yes. the IP address is …133

that…

Im not sure what to do here. I have read this article, but the error is different. So unsure.

@george1421 hi george, i have run the packet analyser. Im no expert but after Line 16 where the client is asking for the file…it seems that there is no server defined and no file defined. I have uploaded the file. If you can point to what i might need to change?

I cant seems to upload the file. The website is saying i dont have sufficient rights…?

@george1421 hi both. Its weired. All the file paths which you guys have said hadnt existed in the place you suggested. Basically, i installed a brand new copy of ubuntu and installed 1.3 RC using the instructions on the Wiki. It failed to work. I thought it was a DHCP issue as we have a a switch that performs that function. So, i researched DNSmasq. I installed that with the instructions again from the wiki.

Nothing has really changed. I just cant get the TFTP to work. So im looking for any diagnostic tools which may be able to help.

Tom, the other weired thing is that installing a brand new copy of Ubuntu and then installing FOG 1.3 didnt create that folder at the root of the drive?? so i copied it from another location…to the root. When i use root, im talking in windows terminology where “root” means at the root of the drive…or any other drive. But it will be the a folder at the top level…if that makes sense.

This is a picture of a brand new install of ubuntu and FOG with nothing done to it.
