In that case you could try ipxe.kpxe

Sounds great! Thanks. That’s what I planned to do until I went to go download and saw the FOG VM… that caused me to pause and question.

Thanks for all the replies! Good information to have. I guess what I should probably be more concerned about is the fog server serving up the tftp boot file to every client as they reboot. I imagine at the start of the school year a lot of machines will be booting up at the same time, but only time will tell.

[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 30645, member: 3582”]I hit 6 GB/min on 0.32… I have never seen anything image faster than that, but it could be my equipment.[/quote]

on this particular computer, it started at 7MB/min (probably caching and not actual transfer speed being represented here) and it never dropped below 6MB/min for the duration of the imaging process.

you can update right to 1.1.1
make sure you have backups before you try

Hi again Tom,
I’ve updated to 1.1.1 and the behaviour is the same. Launching a mullticast deploy the associated snap-ins are not launched.
By the way, what is the deployment button that appears in host list for? It seems to launch a deploy of one host using multicast, but that doesn’t have much sense.
Regards.

Not to hijack the thread or anything 😉 but I think this is a related question:

Running Fog 0.32 - Do I need to upgrade to 1.0.0 first, or can I upgrade directly to 1.1.1 following the same upgrade steps in the wiki?

The NFS that works is on a Windows server, and the one I haven’t gotten working yet is on the FOG server. And I do have it in the exports file, but come to think of it I should take another look at the settings it has.

1827, technically now.

No… so I am not familiar with what a FAI server does. Does it behave like FOG where it will replace its standard menu with a chainload if you give a task for a workstation that is registered to it? Or does it only supply a menu during its PXE boot every time no matter what?

change the arch to amd64 and see if you get the same errors

Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup Microsoft-Windows-International-Core Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup

it changes how ipxe attempts to exit and allow the computer to the hard drive. different bios may require different methods to boot properly

Hi Again I did a complete reinstall both OS 13.10 ubuntu and Fog 1.1.0 still have the time issue . I went in to php5/apache2/php.ini and entered America/New_York ,restarted apache2 ,it’s not fixing the problem . please help.

I’d think, you could poll the database based on the Host to Group associations and make the entry in the inventory report yourself.

How to do so is not that hard either, though with 0.29 I don’t know how easy it would be to do.

The FOG Configuration->FOG Settings->FOG_PIGZ_COMP is defaulted to 9 which means maximum compression/slowest upload.
It only functions on the upload process.

If this is where you’re trying to “speedup” the images, I’d recommend adjusting this value.

If you’re trying to “speedup” the download of images, then check your networking. Is there 10/100MB limiting that lab down from a gigabit network?

Jaymes - Thank you ever so much this worked! ! ! 😄

:oops: I erroneously followed the directions for FOD 0.33 and it was all messed up. After rereading the [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server#DNSMASQ_settings_for_iPXE’]install instructions[/URL] I saw my error and undid all the stuff for FOG 033 and it worked like a charm - Now to try to figure out how to make images from an existing machine and then dump the image back

[INDENT=1]This information pertains to FOG 0.33 and the new iPXE boot method.[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]In order to continue to use dnsmasq to dole out ip addresses and to help find the boot file, some changes need to be made to force the boot file to load the iPXE boot file.[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1][B]FIRST Update the schema by navigating to your fog management page and install the update.[/B][/INDENT]

Thanks Junkhacker that will help to plan hdd size for deployment!!

Great job Tom and Team. My hearty Thanks.
I am going to update my FOG today.
