its taking hours of the time to upload and download.

What does your network environment look like? What kind of and how many switches are between client and server? Which image type is configured? Maybe RAW?

Could you please help us with some more information. OS? FOG version (see cloud on the web interface)? Model (e.g. HP 8200 …)? USB devices connected?

As Tom said the message about USB is probably not causing the issue…

When i try the URL with hostname.php it keeps trying but nothing happens

You mean in a web browser?? Wow… this is… not as it should be I guess!

What do you see in the apache error logs while you try to access this URL from a browser. Depending on your distribution those files might be in /var/log/apache2/ or some similar path on the FOG server.

@Tom-Elliott CrucibleWDS has resizeable LVM working.

Thanks for the reply.

I setup a router to be able to test the ports for the storage node. So far these are the only ports i needed to open:

FTP – tcp 20,21
HTTP - tcp 80
SSH – tcp 22

I haven’t tried to register a new host and install it yet, but now the Dashboard displays the Storage Node, and image replication works.

@Tom-Elliott
thanks for explanation.

It literally says, repeated over and over:

9/22/2015 7:04 PM FOG::SnapinClient Module is disabled on this host

Nothing else. Thats it for the last several hours, except replace the word “host” with “mac” earlier in the day until I manually added the mac by going into the individual host and adding it there.

We have the snapinmodule disabled as we don’t use it. I just forgot to uncheck the box when installing the fog client again.

I’ve also seen where the location plugin can break replication

Remove that, and see if replication will start or not.

@darkxeno I see the problem.

You appear to have a node named Downtown, which lists before default. Because downtown is NOT the master of the Downtown group, it is unable to display. I will see about adding a better bit of error checking and have it out put the information regardless of if it’s there is a master or not. The problem is, without a master, you do not have access to upload images to that group/node.

@Tom-Elliott looks like it is .ipxe that is showing up, I had to record a video and play it back to see it. Yes the thread has moved in the direction of some machines are booting and others aren’t. It was originally a thread about none of the machines being able to register due to a MAC issue.
I’ll change the boot file to .kkpxe and see if that works with the machines that won’t boot.

If you don’t mind opening a separate thread please regarding this now new issue. With the new thread can you post the fog servers Apache error logs?

No problem: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5822/checking-in-error-on-git-7428

Thanks for your help again!

@Uncle-Frank Excellent! I tried that and it worked! Thanx so much.

Ask for WiKi access here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/1341/requests-for-wiki-access-ask-here. That’s where Tom keeps track of it.

Also, take a look at this: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/WiKi_To-Do_list

that fixed it thanks

lol I need a Fedora 22 article now… just copy and paste I suppose, and replace yum with dnf lol

@salginer Not a problem at all. When this happens - 99% of the time it’s due to dual DHCP or Rogue DHCP setup. That’s why I asked this first. Glad you got it going! 🙂

@Tom-Elliott Yes reenabling capone fixed the iPXE issue

@Wayne-Workman Hi I am going to try fedora. Is there a link to fedora 21 you would recommend as safe to download? or is it literally as simple to to install on Fedora 22 and change “yum” to “dnf” in the commands?

The FedoraProject hosts torrent files for Fedora 21 and YES they are COMPLETELY legal to use - because the software is open source and free, and p2p is legal as well when used legally. The torrents hosed there are safe - and come with hash values of what the files should have. So what you get would be legit.

Also - you can use Fedora 22 as well - and just change yum for dnf - and skip the MySQL stuff, the installer will install mariaDB instead of MySQL for Fedora 22. There are notes on this at the bottom of the article.

@Wayne-Workman I have set a DHCP reservation for this laptop in W2K8 server. I am able to define a bootfile for this specific laptop, in this case to boot realtek.kkpxe. This should solve the problem for the laptop not able to boot over pxe.

Great! Just a hint on this: ipxe.kkpxe should have the realtek driver included. Just undionly.kkpxe comes without native drivers.

That said I still think that you are good to go with your solution. Some buggy BIOS versions just won’t run with the normal kpxe files and you just have to come up with a special solution for those.
