@robe2conoby Just to be clear IT Admins should never directly touch/use the linux user called fog. This is not the web ui admin account called fog (unfortunate coincidence). The linux user FOG is 100% managed by the fog installer. If someone changes this account afterwards or uses the linux fog account for system management bad things will happen.

The next time the fog installer runs it will think that it has control of this account and will reset things back to what it needs, probably clobbering your configuration. Please don’t touch or change this account.

These things already work.

See this issue to follow the flow and understand more what was done.

@Tom-Elliott That did it. Thanks Tom!

@dustindizzle11 Great you got this hacked… 🕶 Thanks for letting us know! Marking this solved for now. Let us know if you run into another issue with this.

@VijayBomble images in the GUI must be defined. They are not automatically populated.

Can you give us more details? Does this happen on every machine you capture from? Can you give a screenshot of the error?

Nothing changed in regards to that. I suspect, however, it was related to a ton of “slashes” that made the query larger than it could be to actually perform the update.

@Sebastian-Roth You’re welcome …
For info, my switches are HP Procurve and I used these links to configure them !

Now, Multicast is working properly : I imaged 3 clients at 1.4 Gb/min, next I will try 10 or more !

@Tom-Elliott The issue has been resolved. I downloaded 1.4.0 SVN6069 and that install worked.

It does not matter, I fully understand. But it helped me a lot, thanks again and congratulations to all the FOG team

@Joe-Gill said in PXE Boot Problems:

I can boot the same machine type from another segment of our network fine as well.

For the first picture: So why should it be an iPXE issue then? This sounds really weird. Is this issue reproducible?

For the second picture: I suppose this model does not properly PXE boot in a different network segment, right? As George said, try different iPXE binaries (find them /tftpboot on your server) to see if one of them works…

@quinniedid There is a .msi version of the client that you could use to install the newer client with the correct address. Unsure if old client would need uninstalled first.

If you have a way to push out a PowerShell script, something like this might help.

$FOG = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object -Property Name -EQ 'FOG Service' $FOG.Uninstall() $url = "http://<ip address>/fog/client/download.php?newclient" $outfile = "FOGService.msi" (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url, $outfile) $ArgumentList = "/i $outfile /quiet USETRAY=""0"" WEBADDRESS=""<ip address>"" WEBROOT=""/fog"" /norestart" Start-Process -FilePath MSIEXEC.exe -ArgumentList $ArgumentList -Wait Start-Service -Name FOGService Start-Sleep -Seconds 2 Restart-Computer -Force

Of course first you need to create the group itself.

From a php script this could be done with:

<?php require('/var/www/fog/commons/base.inc.php'); FOGCore::getClass( 'Group' )->set('name', 'SomeNameToNameThisGroup') ->addHost(array(1,2,3,4,5,6)) ->save();

Of course change the array(1,2,3,4,5,6) with the list of ID’s you need to associate to the group.

It sounds like the drives are on separate virtual machines in which case you need to install fog on the second one as a storage node. Not sure how current this is but here is a video about it https://youtu.be/X72WthDGwsw.

@Tom-Elliott @george1421
Ah, so simple! Thanks very much gents!

@Ben-Warfield

Thank you Ben, just updating, simply comment de bind address on my.cnf solves the issue.

Hey george1421,
Thanks for clearing that up mate

@zingaro No, we’ve been putting together documentation where we feel it’s needed, and we consider including any submitted documentation. Is there something in particular you want to know about? Links to the wiki are in my signature.

sorry

network team had changed the scope !!!
there was no network connection

Rename .fogsettings to .fogsettingsold, in /opt/fog
