The only other way to massively remove hosts is to access the database directly and remove them from there. It’s easy if you want to just remove all of them:
[CODE]TRUNCATE TABLE hosts;[/CODE]
Or if you have some known host value that you can leverage; such as all hosts currently assigned imageID 3:
[CODE]DELETE FROM hosts WHERE hostImage = 3;[/CODE]

If you’re not used to messing around in MySQL then you might want to consider installing phpmyadmin, which will give you a web interface for managing the database.

I don’t know if this is any help to you now, but someone else may benefit:
I was getting GRUB errors with DelFX710 thin clients running Windows 7 WES (window Embedded). These thins had the most recent updates applied and would be unbootable. I found some fresh out of the box without the updates (same thin client hardware). Perfect images no problem. The defining difference (I think) is that the non-updated ones used GRUB 1.5. The new ones GRUB 2.

For what its worth.
cheers

Hi,

I have done the above quoted steps already,but still it is not working.
I came to know that if I give exact broadcast address in wol.php file,its working.
But its not possible to hard code all subnets there.
can u pls help?

As I mentioned previously, you will need gPXE-1.0.1+ in order to boot your EFI based systems from network. another option is to get the live pxe version of Clonezilla and create an entry on your pxe menu which points to your Live Clonezilla. With this in place then you can upload/download EFI, EUFI, EFT, EXT, NTFS, FAT based file systems.

Try a different Kernel for that machine. You can setup multiple kernels so if one kernel works on one model, but not another, you can fix that. The newest kernel necessarily work on all computers that the old one did from what I’ve seen.

Hi there. Sorry for the massive late reply - this hasn’t fixed the issue. There were no processes waiting or clogging up the system. :-z

When i type ‘fog’ and hit enter whilst on that screen, it loads for a second then reads;

[code]“Cannot read “/proc/partitions”. (No suck file or directory). Then, you must use the command line to run Partition Image. Type ‘partimage–help’ for help.” [/code]

then;

[code] You haven’t accss to /proc/mounts.[/code]

Any ideas?

The youtube video above is still happening (even when I’ve tried reformatting the laptop, re-uploading it to a new image/host - and when i try using an existing image that works on other laptops of the same make/model).

I got it to work, was an error in our autolog program, thanks for all of the help

It does not image it. It just say database updated. And computer client just reboot again.

I would like to apologize in advance for this not being in the “hardware” section, sorry!

Try the following fix:

Let us know what you come up with for the PXE boot menu wont you? I’m intrigued and interested in doing similar things.

There’s a right mixed bag of stuff going on here… hard to pinpoint problems of this nature. A thought did occur though as I was reading… what are the network interface cards on client end, and server end for that matter… and do you use any form of traffic management.

As a test, take a client machine and disable the onboard nic if thats what your using, and place in an alternative nic. Try to find one thats not the same chipset, purely so we can eliminate the nic as a cause. If the card in the server is the same you’ll need to change it also to test, and you’ll have to mess about with ip addresses etc in linux… but anyhow, should at very least eliminate it from possible causes. I have my suspicions that its not actually a software issue at least. The NICs is where I’d go looking first though.

Sorted this out, the problem was I was running the script with sudo sh ./installfog.sh

Needs to be sudo bash ./installfog.sh

Sorry, was a typo

Just discovered that FOG is ignoring setting changes in FOG System Settings. For example I changed FOG_PXE_MENU_TIMEOUT to 1 (second) and it still is starting at 5 seconds. Also tried to change FOG_PXE_MENU_HIDDEN to 1, menu still appears. Not sure how I broke all this. Again, only thing I’ve really done was installing phpMyAdmin.

You’d need to modify various things for that, probably best if someone who’s done it or uses fog like this helps.

From what I can see thinking about it, you’d need to make tftp recognise the second address as well as the first one, and you’d need to make sure your mysql and apache service was accessable from there too. I think its more of a linux service thing than actual fog. I’m sure its doable though. Sorry I cant be more specific or helpful but I’d rather let someone who can give you a conclusive answer take this one now we know what you’re trying to do 🙂
