Latest FOG 0.33b

[Tom Elliott]

r1336 released.

I don’t know how to describe all the changes from 1328 - now, so just look on sourceforge at the document comments to get a feel for it all.

Brings back the helpers on the fog settings page. Sorry they were missing and thank you jbsclm.

Bluenix here you are.
The iso I’ve included will try and get a dhcp address, if that fails, it will ask for the address details.
It then asks for the IP address of your fog server, and chains on to it.
I’ve included details of how to build your own.

You’re a star! I’ll try this out tomorrow!

I’ve been trying to keep up with the version changes, everything has been working for the most part pretty good and REALLY appreciate all the effort you have made for this project. i was wondering if a recent change did something that pushed a different kernel display setting again. For a while it was working fine in old school text mode but then it switched to something else which is having problems being displayed on some HP systems I have. I’ve memorized debug mode enough to type what i need and get it working, but are there kernel switches i can use to force a more compatible display mode?

[Tom Elliott]

r1339 released. 1337 1338 both as well (obviously).

1337 fixed issue with the kernel update screen where the input field was not displayed.

1338 fixes the 64bit init.xz. No more IP request from the full inventory either.

1339 fixes the advanced many system.

Thank you,

What version of FOG are you using? What kernel are you using? I don’t know how to help if I don’t know this information. Nothing’s changed that I’m aware of as all of my systems are still coming up with the default text mode. I didn’t add any video drivers to my kernels either. I remove the i2c parameters to see if I could get baremetal systems to boot a little faster, but so far haven’t seen any issues with removing it or any major difference in how the kernel acts.

Hi Tom,

In the report Management -> Imaging Log -> there is no page and there is message log in the /var/log/httpd/error_log :
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#3366ff][Tue Mar 18 10:29:47 2014] [error] [client 172.16.8.167] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/www/html/fog/management/reports/Imaging Log.php on line 137, referer: [url]http://srvfog.cavp.fr/fog/management/index.php?node=report&sub=file&f=RXF1aXBtZW50IExvYW4ucGhw[/url][/COLOR][/SIZE]

In the Task manager, there is no possibility to kill one task.

Hi to all,

I tried to install the latest 0.33b release (r1340) ; it’s a fresh install on a Debian 7 system.

I had 3 problems :
[LIST]
[]During the installation process, when Fog installer asks “What is the IP address to be used by this FOG Server? [adr:111.222.111.222]” if I submit as is for default value, the installer rejects the IP Address. I must specify it manually if I want to continue.
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[]When I go on the page “Service configuration”, if I enable/disable the status of a service (check/uncheck “Service Status” box) and click on the “update” button, I only have a white page ([url]http://myserver/fog/management/index.php?node=service&sub=edit&tab=displaymanager[/url]) and the change I made is not applied. If I edit the same settings in “FOG Configuration”->“FOG Settings”, it works. Maybe it’s a known bug ?
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[]After installing Fog, everything seems Ok. But I think there is a problem with TFTP Server settings :
[/LIST]
[INDENT][LIST]
[]FOG_TFTP_PXE_CONFIG_DIR contains “TFTP_PXE_CONFIG_DIR” (which doesn’t seem set elsewhere)
[]FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR contains nothing
[]FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL only contains “bzImage”
[/LIST]
My /tftpboot folder contains this (there’s no file “bzImage”) :

[CODE]-rw-r–r-- 1 fog root 828 mars 18 12:17 boot.txt

When I boot with a test computer, it can’t find any PXE Boot…
Do you know what I must change ?[/INDENT]

This is a known issue. I haven’t quite been able to see where the issue lies exactly. As you can see it displays the IP just fine, but it doesn’t seem to like using it. My guess is just the place it’s looking at is adding more data than what it actually needs.

It shouldn’t be a white page, but I’ll take a look today.

FOG_TFTP_PXE_CONFIG_DIR is no longer really required as we’ve moved the pxelinux.cfg directory to /var/www/fog/service/ipxe. The “config” is done dynamically from the boot.php/BootMenu.class.php files. Tasks aren’t “saved” anywhere anymore so we don’t need to ftp the 01-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX files anymore.
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR should be set based on the variables during install time. If it’s not set, I don’t know why. However, this should be set to /var/www/fog/service/ipxe
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL should only contain “bzImage” as iPXE uses relative links. So when it chains to iPXE, it’s chaining to [url]http://{fogserverip}/service/ipxe/boot.php[/url]

The relative location in full form when loading bzImage and init.xz would then be:
[url]http://{fogserverip}/service/ipxe/{bzImage,init.xz}[/url]

The location of the init.xz and bzImage files is in: /var/www/fog/service/ipxe which is why you set the KERNEL_DIR parameter to that folder. If for some reason permissions weren’t setup properly, this folder should be chown -R fog.root /var/www/fog/service/ipxe

Please see above.

Also, you’ll need to change your dhcp option 67 (I think) to point to undionly.kpxe rather than pxelinux.0

I can not operate “Task manager” :
when I created a Task it does not execute the indicated time was, is this a problem date.timezone? my Linux CentOS 6.5 is a good time.

r1341 released.

Should fix issue reported on Imaging Log.php line 137. It was missing a ). I’m sorry about that.

Add’s Delete label to the scheduled tasks. I’m sure other’s need this entered as well, but I still have to add hooking to this page, so it should be fixed once I complete that.

Thank you,

[Tom Elliott]

Warp,

I think you need to check your fog server and make sure the FOG services are actually running:
[code]sudo service FOGScheduler status
sudo service FOGMulticastManager status
sudo service FOGImageReplicator status
[/code]

To restart, change the part that says status to restart.

Thanks,

[warp]

Actually they are not Started, because I thought it was starting automatically after installation.

When i start the service FOGScheduler there is this message : PHP Warning: filesize(): stat failed for /opt/fog/log/fogreplicator.log in /opt/fog/service/common/functions.php on line 24

[Tom Elliott]

That’s just a warning so it shouldn’t be affecting the operation.

Is the service started and still running?

Does the log have any information?
[code]cat /opt/fog/log/fogreplicator.log[/code]

When i give a “Storage Group” to a Image, the Image Path do not change…
example for the “Storage Group = NAS” the path do not modify to “/volume1/images/”

[Tom Elliott]

I’m going to guess that you have more than one node per group?
