FOG 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS but now want to add Windows 2012 NFS nodes, can't get it working please help!
-
I have FOG 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS which runs perfectly and we use it everyday.
However, we have 20 remote locations all connected by Fibre and I would like to utilize the Windows 2012 servers we have at these sites to make imaging localized from an NFS node rather than pulling across the WAN!
I have following these guides and installed NFS role, Filezilla etc etc:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Windows_Storage_Node
https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/48903-setting-up-fog-with-storage-on-windows-serverI have got to the point where I can add the new NFS node to the default node group and the images will sync to the NFS node just fine but I cannot a new image to the remote node, I am getting this:
and this:
Please help?

Hi, it seem that’s a problem on your NFS exports configuration, have you tested the NFS connection with a linux client ?
-
Are you sure you got all the folder security settings correct? See “Set Security: Make sure you do this for C:, C:\images, and C:\images\dev” in the wiki article you posted. Seams like FOG is unable to create a folder over NFS…

Hi Uncle Frank!
I think I have it correct:
And I have ticked everything for all of them! Only thing I was forced to do was add Aliases!
How come the images can sync between the fog server and windows node but cannot upload an image to it?
-
Hi ch3i!
I’m not that sure what you mean by the NFS exports configuration and don’t really know how to test the NFS connection to be honest?
-
AFAIK the syncing is done via FTP (working for you) but image upload is done via NFS (not working for you).
As ch3i suggested try testing NFS connection: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_NFS#Testing_NFS
In FOG 1.2.0 starting a debug session works a little different. Select one of your clients to test NFS with. Select “Basic Tasks” and the “Debug”. Boot up the client or wait till it comes up by wake on LAN. When you get to the linux shell prompt you can go ahead with the commands in the wiki article. Creating the test.txt file is just a little differnt on your Windows Server but I guess you can make this up yourself.

Thanks for the testing guide, however I have just discovered what I think is a massive issue…
I just went to create the txt file for debug in terminal and got: bash: /images/test.txt: Permission denied
And then looked at the File System under File Explorer and see the “images” folder has a padlock on it!
AND all my images have gone…oooouch OMG!
They have all vanished, please help?
-
And just tried to image a box and get this:
-
Can someone help please? Have I lost everything?

Your post has been open for a total period of 2 hours. We are all doing this work for free. I understand the need to get this fixed, but you must not expect us to just drop for you.
That said, the fact that all of the information you’re seeing is stating “Permission Denied” have you ensured the permissions are set and correct? Have you ensured that the FTP User has the correct permissions? Have you ensured the NFS has the correct permissions?

Hi Tom, sorry I’m just panicking now, did you see my last post? its seems I have lost all my images

root@fog-server:~#All of your nodes are syncing ? It’s the same storage group ?
-
I got them to sync yes by adding the windows node to the default storage group but then I moved the windows node to a seperate storage group. I then attempted to upload an image to the windows node but it didn’t work, that was where I was stuck.
However, the bigger problem is I seem to have lost all my images on the fog server, there is a padlock on the “images” folder?
-
Teamviewer? Maybe between @ch3i and myself?
-
just need to get my images back now or are they lost forever

@Kevin-Talbot Teamviewer? Maybe between @ch3i and myself?

yes Tom that would be great!!! I know very little about Linux unfortunately!
