  Yes. I just did this and the client still attempts to send every single MAC address to the server.

  Q

  @ewilk2600 You have to do it from terminal on the Ubuntu Server.

  Your database will update to the newer format automatically (you just have to navigate to the FOG management URL when it asks you to and click upgrade), but it will make a backup first, just in case.

  @sudburr I’m not sure what is going on or what you’re trying to do - but virt-manager typically only connects to hosting systems via SSH, not the guests. Virt-Manager provides direct console access to guests, but SSH to the guest is not involved in this, it’s via ssh to the host.

  I’m using mostly ubuntu and all my images are set to “single disk, resizable” .

  the order you should go in short:

  on the desktop pc:
  setup the desktop you want to clone
  enable pxe boot in the bios of your desktop pc

  on the fog server (gui):
  create new image (single disk, resizable) (image management)
  register host pc with the server(there are multiple ways to to that, check the wiki )
  assign your created image with the entry of the desktop pc (select host image in host management)
  click on capture image at the entry of your desktop pc
  if you don’t run the fog client on the desktop pc, you should reboot your pc so it does the magic

  deploy a image:
  is mostly the same as above: create new host, assign image, click on deploy.

  you should also look for the “fog client” - running it on the desktop pc is very usefull!

  I hope I did not forget anything.

  Thank you for the response.

  I ended up going back and comparing the file to another one I downloaded on another computer, and they were different sizes. Moved the new one in and it was able to mount fine.

  Unsolved Backing up database... failed!

  @Benjamin_D said in Backing up database... failed!:

  UPDATE: Configured /etc/wgetrc with:
  https_proxy = https://172.31.45.41
  http_proxy = https://172.31.45.41
  ftp_proxy = https://172.31.45.41

  use_proxy = on
  no_proxy = “localhost”

  You could update your bashrc or what ever the linux profile script is on your OS with

  export http_proxy=http://<proxy_ip>:<proxy_port> export https_proxy=http://<proxy_ip>:<proxy_port> export ftp_proxy=http://<proxy_ip>:<proxy_port> export no_proxy=127.0.0.1,<fog_server_ip>

  Log out and back in to have these profile settings stick.

  I also noted in your example you use https for your proxy, is this a requirement of your proxy server. This is not a standard for proxy servers.

  Unsolved Trouble with DHCP after rebooting server

  @notaspy If you force this system to fail, then boot the fog server up.

  Run the following commands.

  ps aux | grep dhcp this should show you if the dhcp server is running in memory. netstat -an| grep 67 this should show you that the dhcp server is listening on its data port. You should see something like this udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:67 0.0.0.0:*

  Lets start with those. That will give us an idea if the dhcp-server is running and / or listening.

  Edit: It looks like ubuntu 16.04+ is based on systemd so these commands will be useful. Don’t use them until we can understand what’s going on here.

  sudo systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server sudo systemctl status isc-dhcp-server sudo systemctl enable isc-dhcp-server

  @VijayBomble This thread is extremely old and I have no idea what your particular problem is. based on the message of “on this switch it works, but that one it doesn’t” leads me to think a configuration issue on the switch that’s not working. There’s not anything that I can do to figure out what the problem is.

  @george1421 im very sorry to make you confused with word “cobbler”, yes, it is an opensource project

  if akin to FOG. later, i will try FOG to compare it.

  but now, i think my problem is how use dhcp + dnsmasq.proxy mode + ipxe install rhel67(old kernel without efi_stub) with uefi client make it general.

  or how gurb2 auto looking for grub.cfg @ ipxe environment.

  i was confused that, why grub can’t use anyother args like — grubx64.efi --net_bootp --net_default_server=xxxx --configfile=xxxxx/grub.cfg, or like ipxe support ${mac(ip):hexraw} to make grub.cfg be general. that’s will be perfect to support network install.

  how FOG do if someone need install rhel67 with general cfg @ dnsmasq.proxy mode & uefi client(for now all hp gen9 server use efi.)

  thank you.

  Solved :
  The http proxy is not correctly configured.
  Edit /etc/wgetrc and add this line :
  no_proxy = <ip server fog>

  Explanation :
  The step “Ensuring node username and passwords match” lunch wget request to local ip.
  This is the same issue for update halt at step “backing up database”

  @FoSTerCyber This issue only happens after upgrading, not on fresh installs it seems.
