I installed FOG again, and same issue happened.

/opt/fog/.fogsettings is nowhere to be found.

Can’t find the proper file to stop apache2.

This is installation error message: ```

Don’t forget that case IS important, /Images2 is not the same as /images

The idea is to mount the /dev/sdb1 partition over a temp directory, move the contents of /images to that temp directory, unmount the temp directory and then mount /dev/sdb1 over /images. That way there is no need to change the FOG settings one bit, its all done in the linux realm.

well,
i tried another way and solved it.
installed grab4dos on the hard drive and set up a menu that will grab and boot thinstation.iso.
captured it as a linux image, and deployed with no problems!

@dwithandelmo Great job, it would be interesting to know why RHEL7 is different then Cento7. But at the end of the day, as long as you have fog up and running with the least amount of extra headache then we’re good.

As for 1.2.0 acting the same way on Centos7 I can kind of expect that too.

@mcgill-eus if you follow the Upgrade to Trunk instructions exactly, you’ll get Release Candidate 6. RC-7 will probably be out sometime today though and I feel it highly important to move to that when it’s out, as it fixes some issues in 6.

@Quazz
OK!!! Houston we have liftoff…

I was able to get this working by completely ignoring mounting the iso at all and instead doing what I had found in another forum with directly using memdisk and the raw iso. My working config for this is as follows

0_1469802843514_upload-365ae328-e013-4ad9-b6cc-2f6183ce8087

So, we found out what it was.

A security camera contractor had damaged the fiber line that the VMWare platform used.

He fixed it Friday morning. I’m guessing he told our network team what happened sometime Friday. After that, everything was fine.

@coco65 Awesome.

I’ll add the details to the #wiki sometime, so we know in the future.

My quick test with build 8599 of capturing CentOS 7.2.1511 as:

/sda1 Boot xfs
/sda2 Swap swap
/sda3 / ext4

… it captured and deployed fine.

Your imaging a pi with fog?

@Joe-Schmitt said in Constant bandwidth suck:

Either re run your fog server installer or upgrade. The smart installer can’t be downloaded from your server. This means it wasn’t obtained properly when you last upgraded your server.

I moved .fogsettings to .fogsettings.old and ran the upgrade. Seems to have fixed all my remaining issues, including my broken replication. Thanks for that. I’ve been upgrading regularly for months now and I’m not sure now if it’s just coincidence that I moved .fogsettings and let it regenerate. In any case, looks like I’m back to normal here. Thanks again.

@wbtech said:

On the plus side, I just did an upgrade from the trunk and everything worked perfectly. I was able to capture and deploy an image and everything expanded properly.

Great to hear. So I guess you had a “buggy” version of the inits in place, something we already fixed along the way.

I owe you guys a beer!

I think this is number three or four on my list. 🙂 Should start to think about getting on a plane to visit all those people at some point… haha.

@Bob-Henderson Setting this up isn’t a problem and a pretty simple setup. Please create a new thread since you have specific requirements.

@Joe-Schmitt Thanks so much! That worked like a charm

@tag correct. No getting around that.

Did you install the fog client on the image? Did you register the destination host?

Oh - read further… you mention /etc/hostname. Fog 1.2.0 doesn’t change names on linux. This functionality is only available in fog trunk, with the new fog client properly installed on the image.

Read these two links for info:

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk

@cschwab Please post a picture of where the client hangs (times out)!

This worked great! The Wiki for installing Mono should be updated for Debian Jessie, as apt-get does not work for installing Mono. I had to resort to the instructions on this page:

apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy-apache24-compat main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy-libjpeg62-compat main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list apt-get update apt-get install mono-complete

@Tom-Elliott said in FOGImagereplicator not working:

@Neil-Underwood DHCP Server if FOG is to be the dhcp server.

It defines the start and end range of DHCP.

Got it. So this does not apply to my setup then. Must have been defined a long time ago when I was playing with that. Thanks!

Tom figured out the problem was due to mis-matching storage node versions and main server version of fog. the main server is behind a little from the recent node installations. Tom was able to create a patch that solved the issue without me having to update the main server, it is working good.
