    @sebastian-roth Thank you.

    It’s the 1.5.9 version. Not tried with a different browser, only Chrome for the time being.

    I’ll dig through the logs but if the page is a redirect I guess that’s where the problem lies.

    @vemoya We have seen hosts go pending but that seemed to have been cause by the PowerShell module API calls.

    We shall try to figure out if you have entries in the DB that are obviously not correct:

    shell> mysql -u fogmaster -p Password: ... mysql> use fog; ... mysql> SELECT hostID,hostName,hostPending FROM hosts WHERE hostID NOT IN (SELECT hmHostID FROM hostMAC); ... mysql> SELECT hostID,hostName,hostPending FROM hosts WHERE hostID NOT IN (SELECT hmHostID FROM hostMAC WHERE hmPrimary = '1'); ... mysql> SELECT hostID,hostName,hostPending FROM hosts WHERE hostPending = '1'; ... mysql> SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE taskStateID IN ('1','2','3'); ....

    You find the password for the “fogmaster” database user in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php. Please run the queries and try to copy&paste all the results here in the forums. Use PuTTy or some other SSH tool to connect to your server so you can copy&paste text.

  • Is it possible to let FOG deploy system image to SSD prior to HDD?

    @will Well the issue is on the target computer side. If the ssd was always disk 0 then it would be easy because in the host definition you could say to deploy the image to /dev/sda but the issue comes when there is two hard drives which one is detected first. The first detected (sata) hard drive is /dev/sda and the second detected hard drive is /dev/sdb This most of the time corresponds to which sata cable is connect to the drive. The cable for drive0 is usually detected as /dev/sda and the cable for drive1 is usually detected as /dev/sdb but only when there is a drive connected to the drive0 cable.

    So can you have fog image properly, sure. You just need to tell it on a host by host basis when the ssd is connected to any other cable than the one for drive0.

    @epsilon52 First let me say that I 100% agree with Sebastian, but I also know a secret for the Dells.

    Using the Dell CCTK (Command and configure tool) you can instruct the bios to pxe boot on the next boot up. This is totally outside the scope of FOG and not something that FOG is capable of, but the cctk tool has the ability to update/change bios settings from inside windows. So using that thought one could create a snapin (FOG deployable program) to run the preinstalled cctk command with the proper parameters to pxe boot on the next reboot only then instruct the computer to reboot. You would deploy that task after you have created an imaging task. I have not personally do this on my campus because I have other rules, but it should be totally possible with snapins and the fog client (I don’t use either in my environment).

    As I said before I require the Imaging Tech to sit in front of the computer being imaged so they are 100% certain on what computer they are imaging. Because once in the past with the fully automated process we had an Imaging Tech pick the wrong computer and reimaged (i.e. erased) a VIP’s computer.

    @TimBr Please explain more presicely where you get the login failure and where it does work. Best if you take a picture or video. As well let us know about customizations on your FOG server and the version you run.

    I am asking because neither a normal deploy nor debug need a login in general. So we need to know more to be able to help.

    @george1421 said in Need new kernel for Intel I225-V network card:

    @will Lets try this kernel.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1blQf70N3um0bXmr1wjzQbQk47TA97gpW/view?usp=sharing

    its bzImage593RT2 the only changes is enabling that specific intel network adapter driver.

    I have tested this new kernel. It is working with Intel I225-V NIC now. Thank you for your help.

    Turns out the install was corrupted with TFTP files in /srv/tftp (as for ARCH installs. Re-running the installer fixed it all up.

    @ihcrcdan We eventually got it resolved. We had to remove 3 columns from the mysql.user table. Once that was done, I was able to update the password and the installer was able to complete. Just took us a while to find that information.
