Problem Deploying Dell3010
-
The quick image password should be your fog user from the database. (The same one most people use to log into the FOG Web GUI.)
-
You need to go to fog settings and set a PXE menu master password, then a blank password will work for the quick image.
Also are you trying to do a multicast image? That is the only time I have seen anything about checking queue. If you are you need all the computers turned on and in pxe. Perhaps try a single computer deployment first
-
If that’s the password you’re referring to, Shane is absolutely correct. This is the password that asks as soon as you make a selection on the PXE Boot Image? Meaning the menu is displayed behind it asking for the password?
Or is this the password it asks for after you’re in the menu and it asks you for the username and password? If it’s the one asking for User and Password, it’ll be your fog web gui information as I stated before.
@Shane
The queue system does more than just mc. Multicast may have a queue, but not that I’m aware of. If you have, lets say, 10 computers to image (Unicast) and you’ve only got 5 slots, the last five in the task list will wait until the slot’s reopen spawning the Checking queue.
That, however, can also be created by a misconfiguration in the file system. Though you’d have to be watching the error log on the fog server to be sure. -
sorry for the response time,
The password is the same everywhere (mysql, fog web,…)
And it’s not a problem.The first capture in top
vim /opt/fog/service/etc/config.phpThe second capture in bottom
vim /opt/fog/.fogsettings[ATTACH=full]523[/ATTACH]
However,
I don’t know what can i do for my Dell3010.
It’s not possible to force the ghost ?[url=“/_imported_xf_attachments/0/523_fog.png?:”]fog.png[/url]

The passwords are not updated through the config.php file. The only exception for that is the initial install when you first install FOG. They’re only there to make sure things are setup. The only password you need in place is the MYSQL_PASSWORD in /var/www/fog/commons/config.php and in /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php
After that, make sure all passwords are set using the FOG GUI.
The first place to check is under Storage Management->Storage Node->Management Username/Password.
The second place to check is under FOG Configuration (Other – The ? icon.)->FOG Settings->FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME,[FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#333333]FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#333333]The PXE Menu passwords will be encrypted when you enter a new password and click Save PXE Menu, so there is no need to encrypt with FOG Crypt. FOG Crypt is used for the Active Directory password.[/COLOR][/FONT]

Everything is OK for the password
You know if it’s possible to force deploying when a computer is queuing ? -
I have experienced this as well with a couple of odd Dell systems, and in the end it came down to issues with the network card driver. Some sort of firmware or BIOS mismatch compared to what the kernel wanted to see if I understand correctly. Considering this has exclusively been with newer Dell systems, I am not that shocked.

I’ve had this same issue before. It seems like it gets stuck for some reason. A workaround i have found is to put that drive into a system that is known to be working and can be imaged and pushing the image to that computer. IMMEDIATELY after the image finishes deploying turn the computer off (this needs to be done before it starts trying to boot into windows) if you SysPrep’d and used OOBE you should be able to just swap that drive into the computer your having issues with start and up and away you go. If your able give that a try and let me know if that works for you

I just did a deployment on Dell laptops. We changed all of the boot options in the bios to legacy and turned off secure boot. Then we had to boot the master laptop from a windows dvd, go to repair and using the command prompt convert the partition scheme from GPT to MBR. Then install windows, build your image, sysprep, upload. Boot target laptop from Windows dvd,change bios as above, convert partition as above. Deploy image. Worked a treat.
-
Finally, my problem to deploying came from network Access control list.
Thanxs for your help.
