If you’re interested, it is actually fully possible to do this over the web, but as Jaymes says, would require some customization. I believe, have not tested this means, that all you’d have to do is change all the references of IPs to hostnames. In /tftpboot/default.ipxe there’s one line that would need to be changed on the server. You either change it to the externally accessible IP or FQDN. On the fog GUI side you’d need to change the IP of storage management page on your node to the externally accessible IP or FQDN. Finally you’d make the change in FOG Configuration->FOG Settings->tftp server and web server to be that of the externally accessible IP or FQDN. This should enable uploading across the internet as well as downloading images, or any task for that matter.

Again, I haven’t tested it fully, but it already exists with minimal changes. It looks like a long block of text but in steps its really only 4 items to change.

Is there anyway to password protect this option. Might be kinda dangerous to leave this unprotected in my live environment

Ok.

Thank you very much.

I’ll take a look at the installer and see if I can do anything about that.

found the trouble: Location table is not not up to date with nfsgroups* tables in database… manual update of the table location solves the problem

just need to check in the gui how to solve it

Thanks Tom, a restart solved the problem.

Thanks!

I don’t know if it is any consolation but I use the Intel PRO MT desktop version and set promiscuous mode to allow all.

I greatly agree on Debian 7.

checking your DHCP leases for ‘NEWDEPLOY’ hostnames is a quick way I get to know if PCs are still in the process of joining domain etc… or if they have failed to do so.

No Problems deleting the partition. restored just fine.

I think the best option for you would be to make a backup of you Images folder and your database, and then scrub out 0.32 completely. Then install 0.33 from scratch, import your database and images folders, and then do the database modifications laid out in the wiki. Finally, run the installer one more time, then and only then, log in to the web gui. The only thing that I ran into after that is the TFTP settings that needed correction and for any clients that did not have an image associated I needed to open each host and select an image or the top dropdown option for none.

Yeah, $part is the correct variable. I saw this issue in 0.33 as well, and have since changed the calling to $part over $win7sys.

The error message you’re reporting is about USB, not about FOG or space.

in order to use the boot commands, you need to symlink undionly.kpxe to undionly.0 because of the appending .0 but then you can issue commands as normal, it seems after we got the dhcp-boot line correct the commands work again.

symlink undionly
[code]
cd /tftpboot
sudo ln -s undionly.kpxe undionly.0
[/code]

enable the boot lines
[code]
pxe-prompt=“Press F8 for boot menu”, 3

The known types are x86PC, PC98, IA64_EFI, Alpha, Arc_x86, Intel_Lean_Client, IA32_EFI, BC_EFI, Xscale_EFI and X86-64_EFI This option is first and will be the default if there is no input from the user.

pxe-service=X86PC, “Boot from network”, undionly
[/code]

Thank you for posting the code. I’d have done it, but I’m more focused on 0.33 so thank you for taking the time and posting the code you used.

Do backup. Please. Just always do backups before you do such things.

[quote=“DanielJay, post: 24805, member: 23088”]I decided to try downloading the image to one machine using unicast and that has failed. I am getting:
“Storage Node ‘DefaultMember’ is open, but has recently failed for this HOST
Unable to find a suitable Storage Node for transfer!”

I have since opened my /opt/fog/.fogsettings file and copied the value of password into the password field of my default storage node. I have also copied that same password into the TFTP settings on the config page.
After all of that was ran I restarted my NFS and TFTP servers. I am able to open up FileZilla and FTP to the FOG server using the fog user and that same password.

Any suggestions on this issue?[/quote]

Jaymes,
Any idea what might be causing this above issue?

Great thanks! I have ended up doing so but wanted to find out if there was a “best way” of doing this.
