    • RE: Host Name Max Characters

      @george1421 said in Host Name Max Characters:

      hosts

      I just look up from google the host name for windows is 15 characters. If i were to customized it should I remain the limit for windows?

      The enhancement for more characters length is only for linux os usage instead of windows

    • Host Name Max Characters

      Hi,

      Wanted to ask if i were to enhance FOG Project max host name character to 50 is it possible to make the enhancement?

      As what i look on the code i just have to change the table structure & host name validation. Is there any things i need to take/notes?

      Why I need to make this changes due to I need to rename the host with longer name for some automation use case.

      Thank You
      Best Regards

    • RE: USB Booting a usb network adapter

      Hi @george1421

      I just tried with ncm–ecm–axge.efi it working fine without any error for usb adapter.

      Do you know what is the different between ncm–ecm–axge.efi vs snp.efi vs ipxe.efi? Is it possible to compile efi file support all types of drivers?

      @george1421

      1 Prepare USB Drive
      2 Copy snp.efi file from fog tftp folder place into usb drive
      3 Download the Realtek UEFI UNDI Driver
      3 create a script with name startup.nsh with content below

      FS0:
      load RtkUsbUndiDxe.efi
      snp.efi

      4 Attached the USB drive to the system
      5 Change the boot sequence to boot internal UEFI shell first
      6 when boot into UEFI shell by default it will automatically execute startup.nsh script
      7 after script executed it able to go to iPXE then FOG Menu

    • RE: USB Booting a usb network adapter

      @george1421 i have recompile the efi file according to the guide but still not working. When i execute the efi (ipxe,realtek,snp) file i will receive “DHCP failed, hit ‘s’ for the iPXE shell…”

      I’m suspecting that you are using the usb boot method >> Yes

      unsupported (from your pc vendor’s perspective) nic adapter >> Ya the BIOS do not have the USB NIC drivers cause me trouble. I do have another alternative using startup.nsh file to load the NIC driver & execute snp.efi file. However im looking for is it possible to include the driver into the efi file.

      boot FOS Linux directly from the usb drive. >> can you share any guide on this method? & what are the flexibility i will lose for this method?

    • USB Booting a usb network adapter

      @george1421 said in USB Boot UEFI client into FOG menu (easy way):

      i having a system using usb adapter UE300.
      It require additional steps to load the Realtek UEFI UNDI Driver at EFI shell before the execution of ipxe.efi.
      Driver : https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-usb-3-0-software

      Could you advise any automated way i can load the drivers before ipxe.efi?

    • RE: CentOS LVM Slow Imaging

      Hi @george1421

      To clarify, FOG server is using ubuntu. Im trying to capture & deploy different OS.

      The experiment carry out with the exact same machine (same cup/disk/ram/network). Image definition is the same, compression ratio, image type etc. FOG server locate at same place.

      Things different only the OS type. For CentOS after capture the image on client showing 4xx GB while debian are showing 2X GB. I check the partition type with df command things that are different is CentOS using LVM.

      I do try to change to SSD it become faster for centOS but at the same time debian also getting faster.

      Hi @Wayne-Workman I manage to capture the centOS with LVM just the problem is very slow.

      If were to made some calculation based on the size at server by doubling the debian image size 14.8gb suppose it should take 22min however centOS with just 11GB it takes 50min about 4x difference with debian.

      Thank You
