      @george1421 No that’s the VM not the host. Here’s the specs on the host:

      12 CPU’s Xeon X5675
      96GB RAM
      10 Terabyte SAS RAID10

        @kafluke So unless I’m missing something you have 16 vCPUs allocated to the FOG vm with 12 cores in the host system? Yeah, I’d drop that back to 2 vCPUs with 8GB of ram to start with. Over provisioning the VM is counter productive.

        4 x CPU Sockets
        4 x CPU Cores
        8 GB RAM

        And really the FOG server doesn’t do much for imaging. It just moves the image from disk to the network adapter. There is no calculations done on the fog server, the target computer does all of the real work. Much more than 2 cores is a bit of a waste unless you have a lot of client computers checking into the fog server, then I’d probably go to 4 vCPUs.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          I’ll throw my two-cents in here. Has anything changed network wise? I know I ran into an issue when one of the hubs we had went down and we replaced it with a 10/100 we had lying around. As soon as we put in a gigabit hub it was blazing again. Just an idea.

            Okay so I just built it up on a different physical server and it’s fast again. Something to note though… when I use the dev-branch I have no logs and behaves a bit funny (snapins not installing and not able to join the target to the domain). If I use the working branch everything works fine.

              @kafluke It happens to me too. Also on the latest dev-branch, Advance Menu has stopped working.

                @kafluke We gave up on the VM route. Went back to physical server and it’s working as expected. I am going to put in a bug report though about the log viewer. I rely on that and it’s not working in latest dev-branch build.

                  @TaTa Can you please post more information on the “Advanced menu issue” you see with current dev-branch. I’d like to fix this before we push out the next release.

                  Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                  Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

                    @Sebastian-Roth Whenever I selected Advanced Menu and signed in, the machine will either beep or display a black screen (sounded like missing RAM beeping sound). I installed dev-branch on a test server with fresh installed ubuntu 18.04 with same issues.

                      @TaTa Thanks for the update. Would you mind opening a new topic for this as it has not much to do with the initial posting. I feel it’s good to keep things separated so people will find answers quickly as well.

                      At first I though you might be running into an issue we already found in 1.5.5 and fixed some weeks ago: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12911/chainloading-failed-advanced-menu (definitely worth reading the whole topic as it also has some information on how this works)

                      But as you are using dev-branch I suppose you already have that fix. When did you last update to the latest dev-branch version?

                      Can you please post your advanced menu code here? Possibly it’s just an issue within the menu code?!

                      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                          @Sebastian-Roth Thank you very much. We had an outage last week so I didn’t have time to follow up. I just upgraded to latest dev-branch and things are working now. Advanced menu is working as it was before. Thanks everyone involved!
