@Bhav Do you use FOG for DHCP and if not, did you follow the documentation when setting up your DHCP Servers?
IIRC you need to point your DHCP server to bios and uefi bootfiles respectively.

general questions about storage / master storage nodes
Hi all, FOG has been wonderful in its usefulness at our main location, so we decided to establish nodes in other locations as well.
Following the documentation, I created new ubuntu servers, ran the installer, selected storage node and added them to the webinterface of the main fog server.
Then I created storage groups, added the respective nodes to their group and checked “master node”.
After that, I went to “images” and added the new storage groups to the images that I want to have synced, created a cron job on the main server to schedule when syncing is supposed to happen and waited for some of the images to be sent to the new nodes.
After that, I configured the windows DHCP servers in the other locations to point to the main FOG server.From what I understand, new clients booting PXE in the other locations will be directed to the main FOG server, but what I can’t seem to find exact information on is how the deployment of images to new clients will be handled.
When a new client boots PXE from one of the seperate locations, receives the bootfile from the main FOG server and a technician selects “perform full registration and inventory”, then how does FOG decide which server will send the image? Will the new storage node be used automatically, or will FOG send the image from the main server in our main location?
I understand that captures will always go to the master of their main storage group, but what about deployments?
