@TimBr Did you migrate this from an older server?

The getPrimaryGroup/getStorageGroup’s are the indicator of the problem here.

Basically, you would likely see the same type of problem if you were to goto snapins:

Effectively the issue is the Image (in this instance) is associated to a StorageGroup that simply doesn’t exist or that storage group has no storage nodes associated to it.

Biggest thing I found from this for future searches of answers…

F*CK UEFI. Legacy FTW.

@alexamore90 said in Snapin question:

@Tom-Elliott
yes sure, I would be interested in running a batch file after the fog has restarted because the deployment on the client has finished. I think I can’t use the snapin because of the host registration that we don’t do. but is the postinit done with fog?

You still haven’t answered the question.

I already stated that postinit scripts run in FOS (fog adjacent if you will) but you haven’t answered the question of “where or when” you’re expecting the script to run.

Please provide details of what you’re doing, when you’re expecting things to happen (explicitly as possible) and we can try to give guidance and direction.

Otherwise we’re talking in circles.

@tomierna Glad I could help and glad your issue is fixed.

@george1421 now I see the files, but I’m still getting an exec format error. the file command says the bzi is a linux kernel x86 boot executable bzimage

@sega I don’t know enough to answer your question intelligently.

I can tell you that for multicast imaging FOG uses the linux commands udpsend and udpreceive.

I don’t see any command line switches to pick which igmp mode is being used.

I can say its rare that there is ever a question on the revision of igmp being used.

@rogalskij so it seems your “ipaddress” is defined as your fqdn either on the IP address for the storage node directly.

I don’t know what your storage node settings look like but should be looked at likely from:

Storage Node-> DefaultMember

HOpefully that will help.

Normally if you can dereference the DNS name all would be fine so I’m just not sure where to help out.

But at least you know what is happening now?

Thank you for letting us know.

Just replying to this with some updated information after my latest upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 so I don’t forget on the next upgrade. I couldn’t get the fog installer to work without the -X option but figured out what the issue was. I needed to edit the /etc/pam.d/common-password file and change the following line to 10000 instead of 1000.

password [success=3 default=ignore] pam_krb5.so minimum_uid=1000

This was because the fogproject user was more than 1000, so changing it to 10000 let the installer work without needing the -X option and the password was updated properly. I then switched it back to 1000 so kerberos would work with my AD accounts.

@george1421

I installed fully new OS on a PC.

I get a new error message.

@kalmarteve How did you delete the old FOG? It looks like the web server folder still exists and the database probably still exists.

This wiki article outlines a method for fully removing FOG if you’re looking for a fresh install.

If you have a backup you can restore too, you should also be able to just do an in-place upgrade.

@berenyia

What switch, and what network card? I’ve been seeing a similar issue, I’m working on a theory as to what is happening. I’m not currently at work so I can’t be sure yet on my replies to those questions but I’ll let you know

@kalmarteve so you’re running 1.5.9

the “master” branch is on 1.5.10

While the 2 files may not have been changed, you should really install the latest version if you’re going to try to implant files from newer version on your fog server.

That said, since it doesn’t seem broken (from a usability) standpoint, i’m not sure what question you’re asking.

I don’t know how to fix the problem if you haven’t tried the suggestions.

For example “This number of slots available” is based on the Storage node.

This is configured from the UI.

I don’t know what you did or didn’t do and can’t really provide much more direction than make sure the node that is in use (since you’re not providing IPs I cannot really give any more information).

@Tom-Elliott Thank you

Took me a while to circle back to this, but it’s nice to have it working as expected.

@falko I have added our own version of str_contains if the php library doesn’t already contain it. This is in latest.

Thank you!

@george1421 Do you boot on MDT with en iPXE entry or did you make a new Task Type for it ?

@AUTH-IT-Center Should be addressed in the latest.

@Tom-Elliott me neither!

I have run a search on the server (Debian 11) and it appears I do not have one at all?

I found a couple of other posts saying to upgrade to the latest version. I have done that and it’s solved.

@Tom-Elliott @AUTH-IT-Center
Thank you both very much for the fast and detailed responses! NFS mountd was indeed the culprit. Port 20048 was allowed, but I wasn’t aware that this needed to be configured in the nfs.conf file. Confirmed that imaging is working now.
