Hello,
Sorry for the delay, I just noticed the change made.
I can’t wait to try this tomorrow.
I will come back to you.

@sborgne Bonjour, Merci beaucoup . Je teste cela demain.

Regards.

George’s post is valid. Just wanted to add that regular ole storage nodes within the same storage group will load share. You’d set the max hosts on each storage node to accomplish this.

@george1421
I’ll shut the machine down and do some checking. I’ll let you know. Thanks.

Success!

For the Dell Optiplex 9020 here are the settings that worked:

Exit to Hard Drive Type: GRUB
Exit to Hard Drive Type(EFI): REFIND_EFI

Thank you Sebastian and George for your insights. They were very helpful in pinpointing where the issue was.

Hi,

Everything’s fine after updating our FOG. Thank you guys.

@george1421 Exactly ! I changed server +.fogsettings ip (+ 4 ip in database by hand…) and everything is fine (ip in default.ipxe changed automatically)

@sebastian-roth for information :

ca.cnf (with new ip) [v3_ca] subjectAltName = @alt_names [alt_names] IP.1 = 192.168.10.52 DNS.1 = FOG.lycee.nd req.cnf (kept old ip) : [req] distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name req_extensions = v3_req prompt = yes [req_distinguished_name] CN = 192.168.10.60 [v3_req] subjectAltName = @alt_names [alt_names] IP.1 = 192.168.10.60 DNS.1 = FOG.lycee.nd

@jamaal said in Need help to understand host.class.php:

Hello all,

I’m banging my head to understand the host.class.php file.
I have a few posts based on Powershell to add the “location” field for a computer to be created for example.

host.PNG

I already have the locations plug in installed and it works fine in the gui, but when I run the powershell script, location doesn’t show in Powershell, but in the gui.

I’m not trying to image yet, but I want to be able to add on a custom website; ex; Jira ticket system, the host location. It should match up in the “location” field in Powershelll.

I saw a post you can edit the host.class.php file.

I did and here’s a screen shot:
host php.PNG

I went to create a host and it doesn’t show up, not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Here’s when I went to see if the host got created when attempting to add it via the gui. I forgot to get the words before it, but it says hosts not found.

If I can get some guidance to what I’m donig wrong, I appreciate it.

Here’s my version of FOG:

All,

This can be resolved. I finally was able to add location via Powershell! I didn’t even need to mess with the host.class file in FOG. This is thanks too @JJ-Fullmer . He had a reference to a post he had about Powershell and FOG via adding groups:

https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12026/powershell-api-module/15?_=1648864559519

So I ended up adding another variable called $newassocias2

Again thanks to everyone that contributes to this page. I’m happy & grateful to using this product.

@jamaal said in Fog Location help via FOG API:

Hello, all

I’m starting to get closer, but not sure what I’m missing. I read up on pscustomobject and I did the following in the script. So in the first screen shot, I got the member properties from get-foghost -hostname $machinename | get-member

The screenshot called “before”, doesn’t have the location field.

before.PNG

What I did was created a pscustomobject by creating a variable called $member

so $member = new-object -typename psobject
The screenshot I did later was called “after”
after.PNG

I then did $member | get-member and it added location as you can see in the screen shot.
In the parameter, I did location = Westbury for example. Here’s some screen shots of my script.

parameters.PNG

code that I used to add location:
location.PNG

So I already have the plugin Location installed with values such as Woodbury and Edison.

I’m trying to get Powershell to just load my section from $location to location as seen below, but it’s not working despite I used the pscustomobject
accomplish.PNG

I also tried adding location under $hostjson to see if this helps before as well.

Ok,

This is resolved now. Here are the steps I did to fix this in case someone else needs this in their Powershell script.

You need to go the Powershell module file in C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\FogApi\2103.2.12

Once in there, open up the FogApi.psm1 file and look for the line that says $coreObjects = @(

add this to the line in alphabetical order:

“location” and save the file.

Once you did that, go to powershell and type in:

Get-FogObject -type object -coreObject location

If done right, you’ll see the location correspond to the location plug in you installed.

and after:

location2.PNG

You don’t need to mess with the pscustomobject because when you install the plugin and edit the psm1 file, it will do it automatically for you.

This can be closed. I’ll create a tutorial on the exact steps because you need to create storage nodes if you have multiple sites in mind.

I already solved it, it was that there were 2 PHP folders (7.2 and 7.4) that were giving conflict, I eliminated the www.conf and reinstalled FOG. with that it worked

@pvandoorn I am sure this is due to a known issue with older SSL/TLS version. Download the latest fog-client on github and give it a try: https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/

@sebastian-roth
I’ve only been able to test this in one environment and only with 2 PCs. It did work in that particular test. In a couple of weeks, we are going to have an opportunity to hit a good number of PC’s in another environment where it previously failed, so we’ll have more data then. So far so good though! Thank you much!

@george1421 said in Dell OptiPlex 5490 - cannot find disk:

the disk mode from raid-on to ahci mode. That will unhide the dis

Yes! Thank you, this solved my problem! 🙂

I create a “activatepulginrun.php” and place under “fogproject\packages\web\management”

the file can be call by the url “http://fogip/fog/management/activatepulginrun.php?plugin=accesscontrol” with the plugin name passing in

First the code need to include below 2 line
require ‘…/commons/base.inc.php’;
$FOGCore = $GLOBALS[‘FOGCore’];

then i include both

activate plugin code
copy from “activate()” at “fogproject\packages\web\lib\pages\pluginmanagementpage.class.php”

install plugin code
copy from “installedPost()” at “fogproject\packages\web\lib\pages\pluginmanagementpage.class.php”

@lps I have not tested this out, but via some reverse engineering tricks I know I think this should get you pretty close. Just create a new FOG iPXE menu and add this in as the parameter.

chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac0=${net0/mac}&arch=${arch}&platform=${platform}&sessname=bob || goto MENU

You will need to replace bob with your session name for the multicast image push. That should join you right into the session with one pick on the fog menu.

@mystic said in Replication already running loop.:

Does this message ever go away or does it continuously replicate?

The message goes away when the image files are properly replicated. Depending on the link speed this can take a fair amount of time.

@argylega said in Name Change & Domain Join Not Working:

The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

This points to an issue we had up until the 0.12.0 client. Should be fixed in 0.12.1 (will be part of the next FOG release).

@george1421 Thank you, That worked.

@alexamore90 Sorry I don’t use that application. If you are more comfortable to post in your native language you may do that. We try to keep the posts in english, but find sometimes we get better detail when the poster uses their native language and we translate. I will only post in english through.

If you have a basic drawing of your setup that might help too, Remember we have to imagine your configuration based on the words you use.

One additional question I should have asked, is your current configuration for a home lab or a business?

@mystic I ended up changing the sql password on the fog server and rerunning the installer. Thanks @Sebastian-Roth for your help!

@technolust It looks like your Storage node is pointing to /fogserver/images. Verify if it exists otherwise change your image path and FTP path to /images
