Ok, I feel absolutely sheepish about this… I made a huge error in reasoning… 😕

I thought the dialog during host registration

Would you like to image this computer now?

would mean, if I want to save an image of the new host’s harddisk.

I am so sorry.

Thank you very much.

I hope now everything will be fine for me.

Lars

That worked, thanks!

i updated to 3709 and all numbers are matching up now. Thanks for the quick response guys.

OK just got done re-imaging the same machine 7 times in a row with all good results. Thank you guys so very much for helping me out with this.

@Wayne-Workman

I’m trying to convert our environment to fog, and one of the labs is using software that I really don’t want to figure out how to redo from scratch, so I took one of the computers that was running in there and sysprepped it to audit mode and that’s what this is.

Thank you, in all case, i’ll see that tomorrow.

I am often finding and fixing bugs, tweaking things…etc…

Some things I find out immediately, some things I find out much later.

Hopefully all is now well and good in 3682, but today was a bad, but good day.

First, I found and added MANY needed performance improvements. It was this understanding of the methods that kind of broke the last few revisions, as unintentional as they were. All appears to have stabilized and hopefully you all will see the huge improvements.

There are some things lost, for now, such as Group->Membership->change individual host images.

This, to me, feel much better though, and things are FAR better than they ever where, I think. Now, not only do we have speedy inits, but we have speedy GUI as well. Most probably never noticed the delays, but some felt them in full force. Now that I think there’s a bit of a better handle on things, I think we will all be happier.

@Chris-Bosman A new feature has been added to FOG Trunk that allows users to specify the FTP path to the image directory for any storage node.

This is exactly what you need in your situation. The relevant thread is here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5333/ftp-path-for-storage-nodes

Here is how you would upgrade to FOG Trunk: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk

@sacha_marin Hi, how have you added the “new disk”, another mount point with another storage in FOG ? Please provide more details of your installation.

Guys, thank you very much. I found the solution for this issue. I changed FOG_WEB_HOST to 192.168.2.100 and the PXE-Boot is working.

But now I get the message

“Unable to locate image store”

Although there are several threads concerning this issue in this forum, I did not find a solution yet…

I think I will create a new thread.

@weargwulf If you want further help, we need to know about your network devices and their configurations.

Also, I’m not entirely sure that I understand your question. If you could elaborate more, that would be helpful.

@kverkiss You can also pull your product key from the machine using Magical Jelly Bean. https://www.magicaljellybean.com/

Its an issue with the beta client which is fixed in my v0.9.0 nightly builds.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you!

I would check out /opt/fog/.fogsettings
The file is hidden so you will need to show hidden files ctrl+h
Checking my settings I do not see a fog user as a local db user. it will use root by default or a user that you specified during install

Hope that helps

This should now be fixed.

The editing of groups was likely a problem that I hope to have fixed.

When you removed hosts en-mass, it didn’t clear other associative fields.

I’ve added a cleaner to this, to hopefully make editing these items a bit better.

The blank screen is because apparently I need to adjust the version of PHP. I’ve updated the source to hopefully install at least php 56 for most OS’s though I don’t know everything.

@Deastrom Ah.

If this is a 1:1 host to image environment for the DSR you were talking about… I don’t know why you’d even need the fog client… unless you want it to deploy EXEs or MSIs or printers or such… or schedule reboots, shutdowns, etc. But a DSR’s purpose is not to deploy MSIs or shutdown computers, you know?

I say test this tomorrow, fully - with at least one computer. I wouldn’t risk downloading to the same computer, but perhaps to a same (or similar) model that you have as a spare.

If this doesn’t work, don’t fear, we have FOG Trunk that does work on Debian 8.

FYI:
I’m on FOG 0.32 (Kernel 3.8.8) and can image the Dell Optiplex 9020. I’ve tested the micro version (“lunch box” format) and small-form-factor.
