Storage Node Kernels

[h4x0r101376]

I am doing some testig with FOG and have a FOG master server and a single FOG storage node offsite somewhere else. Both can see each other fine. The master node is on bzimage aand bzimage32 5.15.19, yet the storage node is on bzimage and bzimage32 version 4.19.145. How to update ht estorage node to match the FOG master or do I not even need to worry about this as much as I am?

@h4x0r101376 It’s not an issue to have different kernels unless devices can’t be imaged correctly on the storage node (if they PXE boot from that node at all). In any case you can download kernels for the storage node manually. Find the binaries on Github: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases

They need to go in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/ and rename the existing files.

Yeah, I’ve noticed this as well. Even if setting the checkmark for the location (when using the Location plug-in) to use local inits and kernels, it is not replicating them. I’ve simply copied them from the master node to the node webfolder.

Yes, that’s another way to do it.

Actually, for us it is necessary (even for the master node) as we’re are isolated from the internet. That means the installer will fail to download inits and kernels.
