@clickwir said in Don't want host registration.:

We aren’t looking for a way to manage multiple images of each OS on each server. All we want is to PXE boot a server, get a list of OS’s and start the install. The changes to a server between each OS install are significant enough that an image won’t work, most of the time.

Why would you use FOG for that? Just setup a DHCP and TFTP service on a server and you’re done… Maybe add apache/nginx and NFS to also server files through HTTP and NFS. All fairly easy to setup by hand and no need to have all the PHP/MySQL/FTP foo that would come with a full FOG install.

@jodantiger Well you better tell me how this partition layout was created. How would I know…

Maybe try mounting it while you are in debug mode

mkdir /mnt/sda1
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
ls -al /mnt/sda1
umount /mnt/sda1

If vfat does not work then try ntfs instead. Take a picture and post here.

x23 remoted in and helped fix a couple minor things in regards to menu.

Talked with OP and found that the 7050 giving issues was not the case for ALL 7050’s. He pulled a different out and all seemed to work fine.

@JJ-Fullmer As of now - that is current RC version - you should be able to use a single USB NIC with any number of clients as we already prefer UUID as a key to recognize clients. You can see this when you change one client’s MAC either on the machine (when it’s simple as in a VM) or in the web UI. The client should still be recognized when booted to the FOG menu. Give it a go.

That said we still have not testen this feature for all occations and I am not sure if we have it all right to meet your situation. So please try and let us know.

@Maorui2k I am not saying it’s impossible to figure out but doing this in the forums one post every couple of days forth and back won’t get us anywhere. If you are really keen to get this solved then send over a machine so I can test and I’ll see what I can do. Just not sure if it’s worth sending it around the world as I am located in Germany.

You could still stick to test different linux distros like all kinds of live linux CDs (system rescue CD, …) as well as installed distros and see which ones work and which have the issue. Maybe you can figure out what they all have in common.

This is the point of the ignore on client checkbox on the Mac addresses. Also, we’re working toward using system uuid to help identify a host to the dog system so hopefully Mac addresses would be a fallback, but not a requirement.

I’d help but I’m at appointments until late today.

@jodantiger Please schedule a debug task and when you get to the shell run fdisk -l /dev/sda; blkid. Take a picture of the output and post here.

@george1421 I’m not seeing any missing bread crumbs.

Search is fixed.
