Got it, thanks!

Does the FOG server have access to the internet? If not, this is the reason for your slowness and it is already documented in the forums.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[quote=“RoweAdmin, post: 28562, member: 23772”]I made the mistake of thinking there was a problem when only 1 client was connected and stuck on the Please Wait screen. After starting the second client, everything worked great.

We are seeing speeds of 2Gb/s and more through an old Linksys/Cisco 16 port gigabit switch with 11 clients.[/quote]

This is the nature of Multicast, it sends the same stream of data to ALL machines on the list and if one falls out the process will stall and fail. You need all machines to stay in constant contact with your FOG server during imaging. Multicast waits until each client reaches the “checkpoint” before sending any more data. This is typically sower than unicast because it will decompress the image at the server to send out, rather than waiting until it reaches its destination and expanding.

I enabled the “Is Master Node” option on my new Storage Node and it works ! 🙂

Any chance you could point me in the right direction as i can’t find where to make those changes at all .

Cool,

I also, hopefully, fixed the image replicator as well to have, basically the same information.

Tom, you are a scholar and a gentleman…
Thank you!

I made a backup copy of each of my init.xz and init_32.xz files (copied to init.xz.bak and init_32.xz.bak), then renamed my init_32.xz file to init.xz and selected your Kernel - 3.14.4 (x86) TomElliott as my bzImage file.

The computer successfully booted and ran the inventory job I scheduled.

I have reinstalled FOG, but to no avail. And this started yesterday, so I think it might be somewhere in FOG or Ubuntu

That darned cache. Clearing it worked for me. I don’t know why but Firefox has that issue with many websites.

[quote=“George_Lebay, post: 28496, member: 24393”]If it works with the Ghost Console, is it supposed to work with Fog ? Are the settings on the switch the same ?[/quote]

Incorrect, they are two systems and because one client works in one, do not assume it will work in another. while FOG is versatile and we can add drivers to accommodate systems, there are still some issues we have not yet over come. If a machine supports the PXE boot method, it can be used with FOG.

The settings may or may not be the same, but it couldn’t hurt to check to see if the proper settings are turned on, that is if you have access to the administration settings.

I’m having this issue also. Receiving the “[COLOR=#333333]Error: Undefined Index: currentUser[/COLOR]” after uploading an image.

FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR = /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/
FOG_TFTP_HOST = Server’s IP address
FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME/PASSWORD = same login as fog user on server
vsftpd seems to be installed correctly

Unsure if this is related or not but under “Image Management” it’s not reading “Image Size:ON SERVER” like it did before on Ubuntu. The image files are there and they match the definitions. I can even deploy the images.

OS: CentOS 6.4
FOG Version: 1.0.1

Resolved this issue by

[CODE]chown -R fog:root /tftpboot[/CODE]

[quote=“Iulian Constantinescui, post: 27800, member: 24331”]Solved,

If you do a cleanup install or an upgrade you must change the config/settings in your linux/windows DHCP server.
On windows DHCP server make sure you put the 66 and 67 option.[/quote]

My option 66 and 67 settings were correct, otherwise the client wouldn’t have been able to talk to the fog server at all. What solved (and I use that term loosely) the problem was a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04. All is working beautifully now and I don’t need an rc.local edit either.

Thanks again to everyone that chimed in.

[quote=“TheRiceKing, post: 28417, member: 24158”]There is Fog version for Windows?

There is a Fog version for Windows?[/quote]

There is a client to communicate with FOG from windows called the TFTP Client, if you download it and run the command we can verify that your boot file is getting to the correct location as intended.

FOG is only developed for linux operating systems. The creators devised an ingenious way to image machines using the pxe boot method which was highly sought after during the time when other similarly functioning softwares costed a large amount of cash. They used FREE software to complete the project, it since then has grown and a lot of features and additions have happened. FOG is developed for linux so it is free because it uses other free software. It can not function on windows without emulation.

Please add the tftp client in the Add and Remove Features section and run the command.

A find and replace on that field in MySQL took care of it for me.
[CODE]UPDATE snapins
SET sFilePath = replace(sFilePath, ‘/opt/fog/snapins/’, ‘’);[/CODE]

Ok, I on a whim created a new user in AD with sole purpose of joining computers to AD, re-encrypted a new password and it appears to have resolved the issue.

Can’t thank you guys enough for the help and the amazing software

Thanks,

Matt
