      I think it might work… give it a try and let us know? Worst thing that could happen is it doesn’t work.

      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!

        Cloned the Storage Node using VirtualBox’s cloning feature. Changed the TCP/IP info and plugged in the same password into the main FOG and it worked. Storage Node was added and I could see it in the Dashboard (well I get the failed to connect error, but I can click on the link and get the info on the Node.) There was a power outage that corrupted the VHD for the clone, so I’ll try cloning it again and see if it serves image download requests

                I got it working, cloned the 1st storage node, changed the host name and IP and added it to the server.

                Tested and all working 🙂

                Saved me a lot of time cloning.

                  Sorry about the last response @Duncan. I clone after installing FOG in SN mode, but before adding it to the main server. I had written a little guide for cloning, that covered everything from Fog setting to SSH logins, but of course I can’t find it.

                  The biggest things you need to change after cloning are:
                  1: IP address
                  2: MAC address
                  3: Hostname (both /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname)
                  4: /opt/fog/.fogsettings (change the ip address)
                  5: SSH configuration (If you are connecting over SSH)

                  after which you can rerun the FOGinstallerfolder/bin/installfog.sh. Then add it the server and your good to go.

                    Hey @Wayne-Workman would you like me to right up a step by step guide on cloning Storage Nodes for the wiki?

                      @iyoung Yes, and please include steps for the interface’s uuid. That’s the only thing I’m seeing missing. See here: http://www.itechlounge.net/2014/03/linux-how-to-generate-uuid-for-network-interface-on-rhelcentos/

                        @Wayne-Workman I’m using Ubuntu Server, so I won’t be able to include screen shots of that part, which looks to be RH Linux thing. I’ll just add the text and cite the article.

                          Hey @Wayne-Workman I finally have the how-to done. How do you want it, should I upload it in a forum post?
