@sebastian-roth: yes, we have a web automation tool that deploys the images nightly.

As for contributing, I am not sure the depth of my knowledge of the project is enough to contribute as of yet. Thanks, I will contribute what I feel I can. You guys are doing great work.

@Brian-David alright, thanks for testing. This will require a bit more work than I was hoping for it seems.

@fallingwax FWIW, I just checked at the H330 is $155 more than the S130. For a moment I thought they removed everything but the S130, but you need to select the hot plug drive trays before the H330 is an option. I know it was there because I purchased a R330 in July and linux is installed on that box right now, so know I didn’t pick a S130. But anyway, I hope you are able to turn on that option in the firmware. It looks like the S130 is using the intel software raid controllers, so you may have some luck with madm.

@tom-elliott This is the part I didn’t know when I restarted. Im back on 1.5 and good now.

@slimzy said in ipxe with sanboot:

is there a way to bind a root-path per item in the menu or we can’t?

I’m not sure I understand this ^^

But, I think I have an understanding of what is going on. I can see at the end of the kernel init it attempts to contact the local cdrom. If it doesn’t find it the kernel then starts the network install bits. When you pxe boot I can get the kali linux loader to work (without the dvd iso image). It loads and the reaches out to the internet to download what it needs and completes the installation. I suspect that when you boot off the cdrom that it loads the files directly from the dvd and does not reach out to the internet.

After checking the log I saw that it was still looking at eno1. I found where I missed changing the interface under the default storage node under Storage Management. After changing the Interface setting from eno1 to enp7s0f0 all is good. Hopefully someone else will find this useful.

@sebastian-roth don’t worry, it’s an exception. I’m managing many fog servers and it’s great (and still my first choice).

@imagingmaster21 security chip disabled, usb nic allowed in host config, it’s atom: I don’t think it has virtualization support.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any device available to make further tests.

@bmorine said in DeepFreeze Snapin:

ERROR: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Host settings -> reset encryption data should solve this.

@sebastian-roth

Not to ignore you, but when I came in this morning, me and my boss had a conversation. He was messing around with another VM that was also having speed issues. He turned off VMQ under the Hardware Acceleration for the VM’s NIC on Hyper-V. His file transfer speed issue immediately went away. Naturally, I tried this for the FOG VM. When I booted up a machine, PXE boot ran as expected. I never saw the TFTP spinning, and both bzimage and init loaded instantly. However, I turned VMQ back on and tried again and the speed issue was still gone, so I don’t know if this was a problematic setting or not.

If the speed issue comes back, I will go ahead and do the tcpdump, unless you’d like me to do it now anyways just for sake of gaining info. FOG is running on the latest Ubuntu Server OS.

@sudburr said in TFTP error oh my (ESX Server):

PXE-T00: Permission denied

It looks like this might be a file permission issue (if not selinux). The permissions on the /tftpboot directory should be 655 or 755. Make sure the parent folder /tftpboot as well as all of the files have these rights.

@nrg Marking this as solved then. For the database connection issue, open up another thread please.

Hey! Thanks for the topic!

If it does not exist

mkdir /var/www/fog/iso

Copy ISO file

cp SOURCE_PATH/ISO_FILE /var/www/fog/iso

Add

/var/www/fog/iso * (ro, sync, no_wdelay, insecure_locks, no_root_squash, insecure )

in

/etc/exports

Run

sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart sudo service rpcbind restart

Add a new menu in FOG WEB GUI

initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/iso/ISO_FILE.iso chain memdisk iso raw

WORKED PERFECTLY!

To add on to what @Sebastian-Roth is asking, is the machine efi or mbr booting?

@cedre It works ok for the other VLANS?

@wayne-workman

Very true but making the change in the live DB is a great plan B until a long term plan A is found. I checked the mysql mem calc link and I compared the mysqld.cnf settings for those calculations but many of those variables are not there. I think at this point it works and I don’t foresee needing many more storage nodes in the future for this fog server. I’m happy it’s working now. Thank you both for all your help.

@cnkpadobi

You might want to switch to the working branch.
