@Tom-Elliott Phew, you weren’t wrong when you said it was a bit overkill. I’m a bit apprehensive about doing anything that I can’t understand what is happening to the FOG server. For example, if something breaks with this script, I don’t know exactly where to fix it.

I also still don’t have a bare metal backup of my FOG server yet, and I can’t afford to have it down, especially at the beginning of the school year (I work for a Public School). Possibly once I have a backup of it, and when school is out for a break or something, I’ll return to this and attempt it.

Unless you’ve got an easier idea to change those defaults, I’ll just put it on the back burner until further notice.

I’m solving this thread namely because the question that was asked, originally, is already displayed. The next series is specific to customizations and the changes required for our new stuff vs. the 0.32 inits.

I’m solving this thread. The reason your systems were failing to register wasn’t, specifically, a problem with FOG directly, but seemingly specific to this one system. Does this sound correct?

So let me get this straight, the only “PXE Reboots after…” is happening on the VirtualBox VM?

I am aware of issues with Virtual Box, specifically, and the only fix that I found (if you’re using undionly) is to do a power off, then power on. The other, more appropriate, fix is to use ipxe.pxe file rather than the undionly, but i also know that not all Physical systems will work with the ipxe.pxe.

Make sure you have your Surface on the latest firmware, or if not the August firmware, at least the July firmware. They’ve done some serious cleanup on the Surface EFI firmware that has made it a bit more network boot friendly.

No problem, thanks for the swift response and fix!

@Duncan There are SQL queries that can list duplicate data in a specific field. Once you have the select statement prepared, you can then put it in parentheses into the WHERE clause for a delete command.

So…
select duplicates from hostMac.mac address; (or whatever it is)

delete from hostMac where (select duplicates from hostMac.mac address);

get it? It’s been a hot second since I’ve used SQL heavily so I don’t quite remember the syntax but I’m sure you can figure it out.

Please post the command you come up with, this is one way you can GIVE BACK to an open source project. 🙂

PLEASE PLEASE export your DB before you delete anything!
FOG Configuration -> Configuration Save -> Export

@Tom-Elliott Thanks Tom for all your help. Tom fixed quickly note to self check services…

Sorry for the delay. It was logging an error in the event log that the fog service hung I set it to delayed startup and that seems to be a reasonable workaround for the issue.

@Wayne-Workman No, I full register. I’ll look at Fog Trunk, I thought I’d tried everything already.

@nhaws Look at this: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_NFS

Double Check your storage node settings, your /etc/exports file, and make sure NFS and RPC services are running. Info on those things are in the article above.

We might be able to help you make FOG run with you Lenovos but you’ll have to provide more information first.

What kind of Lenovo is it? Model number? or at least the exact name/number and model of the network card used in those machines?

And please provide more information about what is problem or error you see? We cannot help you if we don’t know what exactly is going wrong!

Which topic did you read? URL?

@Jbob Thanks

To ensure you don’t have to do this on every update/install of FOG, you may want to edit the /opt/fog/.fogsettings specifically the snmysqlhost, snmysqluser, and snmysqlpass fields to contain the information relevant for your MySQL setup.

@b.martin English please. 🙂

@Lesso Nice article. 🙂

Feel free to request access to the FOG Project’s WiKi. 🙂 We need more people that are good technical writers.

Issue looks like it is resolved. (web interface slow)

Upgraded VM server to svn 4469 ubuntu 12.04
Upgraded/Rebuilt storage node to svn 4469 ubuntu 12.04

Now i am getting this in the Apache Error Log any ideals?

FYI - you guys have been awesome help…

@Tom-Elliott Is the console.h file an actual image? Where is it located?
