  Q

  I believe you have to modify the client OS to support being booted over iSCSI, though I have limited experience with it. I could be wrong, but I think by default iSCSI isn’t included in the initramfs of Ubuntu. Perhaps this https://apfelboymchen.net/gnu/notes/booting ubuntu iscsi.html could be helpful. (at least the client info) All that said, NFS boot is likely to be a lot more straightforward to implement and I use that method quite often.

  @Daniel-Miller Thank you, I’m learning both Cent and Fog at the same time, challenging but interesting, I couldnt find why I had 127Gb total storage but only 27Gb was being shown in Fog GUID so I ended up re-building the server. Appreciate the info though.

  @Dv27842 said in Installing FOG on Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop: Synology NAS Setting this up is fairly advanced! You are better off just using a simple setup with just one FOG server (including it’s own storage) in a VirtualBox I’d say. Play with this and when you are ready take the next step.

  @Base2Nathan Good to hear you figured it out. You might wonder why the config George suggested doesn’t use option tftp-server-... and option bootfile-name at all. There are two places in DHCP packets where PXE boot information can be placed. One is DHCP options as you have used them. But there is also next-server and filename what are fields within the DHCP header information. Take a closer look at the wireshark dump…

  @brehuffm said in Centos7 hostname change not working: Is it safe to assume that this fix will be in the next Fog image? Not sure what you mean by fog image. The next fog-client version will have that fix included, sure…

  @Oleg As far as I know George is perfectly right here. Can’t think of a way to have an image that would run on legacy BIOS as well as on UEFI only machines. Partition schema is different…

  @marted Let us know if you need any further assistance. Please describe exactly when steps you take! Not just “delete the windows boot manager and keep only grub2” but give us all the details like commands and such! It seems you are preparing a very custom setup here and we need to know all the details to be able to help you.

  @jlubecki Just use a normal FTP client software like Filezilla and try connecting to your FOG server using the fogproject account. Does that work?

  @jmeyer There is no real check. At the moment we install mariadb on fresh installs but stick to mysql on upgrades (which is set in /opt/fog/.fogsettings) because Ubuntu does not properly migrate your database from mysql to mariadb yet (while Debian has long ago).

  @Sebastian-Roth Thanks for the input, I was able to figure out what was going wrong. when I was ssh-copy-d root@storagenode it was copying the sshkey i use to login to the server. I needed to use ssh-copy-id -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa and then your suggestio of rsync ... -avze "ssh -i /full/path/to/ssh_private_key" /images/Sync root@$i:/images/ ... worked great. Thanks!

  @Zer0Cool I know im late to the party but… The way to run the installer from the live only mode with fedora is with the command sudo liveinst then bam the installer will start and all will be well with the world I found the answer here [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Fedora_Live_Images/sect-Fedora_Live_images-Installing_Fedora_from_the_Live_Image.html](link url)

  @Sebastian-Roth I don’t think it’s necessary unless you just want to do it for kicks. I abandoned it and went with CentOS 7 and was able to get up and running

  @Wayne-Workman Thanks for the info. I did modify the .fogsettings file at first, but I was receiving errors for “invalid response” whenever I attempted to install. I just copied the .fogsettings from a working installation.
