Setting up and building UDPCast...Failed!

[Ubuntu_newby]

Thanks again. But my troubles are not over yet!

Windows 7 PXE doesn’t receive a bootfile, when booting.

[Ubuntu_newby]

It looks like it’s working on a another Windows 7 client! PXE boots up with FOG image solution!

Before it was runing I have connected a Windows 2012 server for DHCP in the network.

The PXEboot on the Windows 7 client went well…until…this:

Maybe a new challenge for Tom?

Your link is missing a colon my friend

try

[code]
service portmap restart
service nfs-kernel-server restart
[/code]

That’s a bug in this forum.

I had allready tried that and even rebooted the Ubuntu machine, but I didn’t help.

[Ubuntu_newby]

My Ubuntu uses rpcbind instead of portmap by the way.

But this didn’t help also:

[code]
service rpdbind restart
service nfs-kernel-server restart
[/code]

Sorry I had forgotten that tid bit of information, let me beat my head against the wall a little longer and see what I can come up with.

try removing your .mntcheck files and recreating them

/images/.mntcheck
/images/dev/.mntcheck

edit your /etc/expotrs to look like this
[code]
/images *(ro,async,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)
/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)
[/code]

ALSO, if you are using the FOG server to store your images (Not a NAS or another server, or save space or something HAS TO BE STORED IN THE /images folder on the Ubuntu box) then try isolating the network with a basic router. Set up a network between the host and the server only and try to image.

Done!

Done! Only change this line from:

/images/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)

to:

/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)

It was allready set to be stored in the /image folder, so no changes there.

As expected I had to connect a Windows 2012 server for the DHCP-options 66 & 67. With the basic router the Windows 7 client didn’t get the right DHCP-data.

I honestly did not had confident that it should be successful now, but at this time I see the blue screen "save partition to image file’.

So I’m very glad, it is working, at last!

Now you are talking about a NAS-server. Is it possible to store the images on a seperate NAS-server (a QNAP f.i.)?

[Jaymes Driver]

Hey if it’s working leave it alone. I was going to have you isolate the network to rule out problems with your network communication or things blocking traffic.

Yes it is possible to use a NAS store.

[Ubuntu_newby]

Ok, I’ll leave it alone. Thank you and Tom for all the help!

[Tom Elliott]

You’re welcome.

All is working then I presume?

I have succesfull created an image of a Windows 7 machine. I have not tried to deploy the image back to the Windows 7 machine, but I assume that this is going to work, otherwise I let it know.
