While I agree when a system is in it’s typical environment, that a client should resolve the hostnames, during the imaging process the client knows nothing about it until it boots in. Because of this, the server is ultimately handling the resolving anyway. I was just making an attempt to direct specifically to the IP as there’s no extra steps needed to resolve where the hostname actually lies.

Hosting in a virtual environment is common, and it’s how my development systems are setup. I have NO issues even with a multiple Virtual Host http environment on top of multiple VM systems redirecting all the way across.

I suppose it does no good to gripe/complain, as I already did as you requested anyway.

I see the error too. I’m glad you were able to find it and I went ahead and solved this thread.

Thank you for reporting back as to what you found and the potential fix for this particular issue.

@pmonstad,

Can you please try upgrading your svn and try again? This was/is known about and has been fixed. So to keep saying this or that about it on a revision that was known to have this issue, seems rather pointless to me.

I just confirmed the bug was still present on the LIST view. I have now corrected it.

SVN 3428 should fix this issue for you.

Word of caution if you do update to this and you’re using the New Client, it may break hostname.php if you don’t have FOG_AES_ENCRYPT enabled. If you do have new client AND FOG_AES_ENCRYPT enabled, it may basically break everything. Legacy clients should work without issue.

Im using the developers version currently SVN 3410. domain join had some issues we found when the default field for the OU to join was left blank. so i populated the field with the direct ldap path and it worked flawlessly. it had something to do with our AD enviroment and our 2012 servers. we have 5 AD/DC’s and 2 DHCP Servers redundantly configured. these are all on site in the same room connected with a 10gig backbone. upgrading to the new client was easy, getting the system to join the domain took some time to figure out. At this time it works like a champ.

if you make yourself stand out (in a good way 😉 ) and we want you on the team, you’ll be asked to join[/quote]

Can I be on the Team? 🙂

Oh, if it says that, then don’t bother. Do what the WiKi says, add a Quick Image option to the iPXE Menu.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 45098, member: 7271”]@ch3i,

Are you still having this issue?[/quote]

Tom, I update from 3200 to 3222 without problem, It’s fixed for me.

Thank you 😉

Ch3i.

it works again with 3216. thanks a lot

that’ll do it, but it’s not free. They have 3 different versions. The pro version will record all changes except for services and drivers. The enterprise version does everything.

IMO, it’s not worth two cents unless you get the enterprise version. Their “Pro” version of the software used to deploy Java with custom settings has caused me nothing but nightmares.[/quote]

Hi,

Buy it and very usefull !

Regards,
Ch3i.

Ok, Will make a Test server and test it before i put it into development.

If it works I will post some instructions on how i got it to work.

If I want to make changes to my init files I use this script a lot:
[CODE]#!/bin/sh

INIT=“init”

if [ ! -f ${INIT}.bak ]
then
echo “Backing up ${INIT}.xz”
mv ${INIT}.xz ${INIT}.bak
cp ${INIT}.bak ${INIT}.xz
fi

if [ -f mnt/bin/fog ]
then
umount mnt
rmdir mnt
echo “Compressing ${INIT}.xz, please wait…”
xz -C crc32 -9 ${INIT}
else
xz -d ${INIT}.xz
mkdir -p mnt
mount -o loop ${INIT} mnt
echo “Mounted ${INIT}, have fun…”
fi[/CODE]

Exactly like that

a very edge case… you will likely need to DIY it.

The developers can not program every single configuration, only the one that fits most use cases.

Hi,

I updated the script :

no limitation of number of ethernet card update /etc/network/interfaces

ok thanks

The legacy client should still work as before. Don’t count on the current in-development client to work though (it can only be obtained through the fogservice-rewrite branch on github)

You’ve ensured iptables and/or firewall and selinux is disabled?

It sounds like it’s not passing info to the database (more like the database isn’t accessible.)

[quote=“shadowfax, post: 38870, member: 26386”]We’re running FOG 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 14.10 and have had no problems whatsoever. We get in shipments of 10-20 PC’s at a time. Our imaging process is to set up the BIOS on the new PC’s to allow us to PXE boot into the FOG server, Perform Full Host Registration and Inventory and power down. Then we image them using multicast. I usually wait until the Host Registration is done and turn off the PC while it’s restarting and before it runs Windows. I didn’t know if there was a simple code modification I could make to have the PC shutdown instead of restart after the Host Registration is done.[/quote]

So you’re shutting down because there’s no way to multicast directly from the Full Registration? I could see that being a helpful feature, especially when new devices are added in bulk. Tom, after it asks if you want to image now, maybe there could be a way to choose unicast or multicast? Just a thought
