Reminds me about the problem of $SERVER not set during softinstall. My solution
in bin/fai for 2.10.5 was (no 3.0 test here yet, sorry)

@@ -59,7 +59,11 @@
     get_fai_dir

     # check if monitor server is available
+    # Fallback for install:
     [ -z "$monserver" ] && monserver=$SERVER
+    # Fallback for softupdate (as SERVER not defined)
+    [ -z "$monserver" ] && monserver=${FAI_LOCATION%%:*}
+
     faimond=1
     sndhostname=$HOSTNAME # save current hostname
     if sndmon check; then


Oh, bin/fai in 3.0 is quite different, but in case it's not already done,
I would suggest define SERVER via ${FAI_LOCATION%%:*} unless it's
already defined  right at the beginning of bin/fai.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
