Description

hi, maybe more informations lol
-
@hsd3tech I failed to add the description. OK, so I cloned my FOG Beta 1.3 server onto another VM and it is still holding onto the IP address from the cloned FOG server. Of course, the new FOG server has another IP address (different DG, etc) and I have gone through all of the FOG Configuration Settings and replaced the old IP with the new. It still is trying to go to the old IP (when I boot to PXE, it appears in the boot process, then times out. Originally, when I attempted to image from the newly cloned FOG server, it complted the imaging, but shows up as the Task on the old FOG Beta 1.3 server and not the new one. Where is the old IP hiding in the newly cloned FOG server?
Thanks in advance1 -
Yeah, I was too quick on the “Ask a Question”
I was typing the details when you replied. See above. Here is the Copy/Paste.

@HSD3Tech Please check in the file
/tftpboot/default.ipxeon your FOG server… -
@sebastian-roth Thanks for the reply Sebatian! Can you please guide me on how to “check in the file /tftpboot/default.ipxe” on my FOG server? I’m am a Microsoft guy and kind of light on the Linux knowledge. Thanks!

@HSD3Tech As I don’t know how much you know I can’t really give good instructions. You probably better start reading about linux and learn it first hand if you wanna stick to using FOG. There is no way you can keep using it if you can’t edit config files. Please don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that you should know this. I just can’t help you at that level. You need to get started yourself. Read tutorials, buy a book, ask colleagues and friends…

@sebastian-roth I got it figured out, thanks.

@hsd3tech What was the solution?
-
@wayne-workman I found the file default.ipxe, edited it in nano, saved it and it worked.

@hsd3tech Ok thanks. And for future readers, we have documentation here for how to update the IP on a fog server:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Change_FOG_Server_IP_Address
And we have a tool here that you can run that does all the same stuff for you:

Glad to help
