Great to see that you got it solved yourself. Quite different to how I would have done it but that’s the good thing about FOG and IT in gerneral: There is always more than one way of doing it. Have fun with FOG!

@Tom-Elliott Very good!! That was the solution! Thanks.

The client requires .NET 4+. Most windows systems will automatically have it if they perform windows updates. Granted if someone skips the .NET 4 framework Window’s update then the computer won’t have it.

Thanks for all your help guys. Finally got it working. It was the draytek in the end. They seem to be a bit odd with DHCP option 66. Setting the option from the web interface wasn’t working so in the end had to do the following from telnet:

srv dhcp option -e 1 -1 [lan number] -s [Fog Server IP]

not sure what the -s flag is but it worked after that.

Couldn’t find anything about this on the net so hopefully this will help someone else in the future!

Thanks again!

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
