Partimage for old images

Wayne Workman · Nov 22, 2016, 3:22 PM

@Tom-Elliott He should be using RC-25.

Tom Elliott · Nov 22, 2016, 3:25 PM

@Wayne-Workman We don’t know that yet.

The other post just says that there was an update, but it was from 5 days ago, to my understanding.

Was there anything from the boot.php output so we could SEE what’s going on?

Wayne Workman · Nov 22, 2016, 3:29 PM

@Chuck2000 What is the output of this link?

172.16.5.153/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=64:00:6a:8a:f4:5c

That information was taken from your below screenshots. Be sure that this MAC address is still configured to use partimage in the web interface. Go to the above link and copy/paste what you see.

Here is the information that was requested - thanks.

You are currently running version: 1.3.0-RC-24

@Chuck2000 Please set the mac address into a tasking with the “partimage image” associated to it and then redo the url call and get us the output.

Please wrap the output in triple backspaces for easier readability.

Thanks, but I’m not sure what to do here:

Please set the mac address into a tasking with the “partimage image” associated to

FYI - my images that I copied over and then manually set the settings are showing up with no image size

Tom means: Set the computer who’s MAC address that is to image via the web interface. Afterwards, don’t boot it up to image, instead go to the link I provided earlier. The output will be different because there’s a task waiting for that MAC. That output is what we need.

FYI - my images that I copied over and then manually set the settings are showing up with no image size

That’s fine. This particular field will update when you deploy each of them. Image Size on Client is not the same as Image Size on Server. The server has no idea how big the image extracts to because it’s never deployed the image before.

Tom Elliott · Nov 22, 2016, 5:53 PM

Update to RC-25 to fix the partimage/partclone format issue you’re seeing please.

Chuck2000 · Nov 22, 2016, 6:25 PM

@Wayne-Workman

Okay, I updated to partimage. Here is the output - thanks.

@Chuck2000 Tom says if you update to RC-25, this issue will be fixed. Please do that and try again.

Chuck2000 · Nov 22, 2016, 6:34 PM

@Wayne-Workman

Okay, I will try an upgrade. I have never updates a FOG server before. Are these the instructions that I should be following?

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk

Tom Elliott · Nov 22, 2016, 6:35 PM

@Chuck2000 yes, those instructions will work. I personally recommend the GIT method.

Chuck2000 · Nov 22, 2016, 7:59 PM

Chuck2000 · Nov 23, 2016, 4:48 PM

@Tom-Elliott

After upgrading to RC-25 as you suggested, the issue is resolved. I can now image computers. Thank you and the other forum members for the help.
