What do you have FOG running on?
-
My Fog-Machine is running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell Poweredge 1650 4GB RAM. (also have VM image in case this physical server dies.)
The storage node is an Iomega 14TB StorCenter px6-300d.It works quite well for our environment, where we only need images 1-2 times a year because nothing really changes as far as configuration. (We image everything from workstations to AGFA printers the size of a VW bus.)

My FOG server is running on virtualized Ubuntu 12.04, ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge M610. Works great – the only bottlenecks I ever run into is related to our limited network bandwidth, not FOG resource usage.

I have my FOG system in two parts, i.e. DHCP and FOG on two separate machines.
The Fog Server is on a 8-port GBit switch (port 1 going back to a 10/100 “router” i.e. like the one you’d have at home) leaving me with 6 spare ports, on a workbench for when I do imaging. The FOG Server itself is:
fog 0.32, Ubuntu 11.10
Gateway DX4200-09
AMD Phenom 9150e Quad-Core (1.80Ghz per core, I think)
4GB RAM
1x 640GB 7200pm HDDEssentially, I found the best PC just laying around doing nothing. And it’s doing it’s job fine.
The DHCP Server also doubles as a Fileserver for random files around the office, ISO’s, etc… It’s currently got a 10/100 Ethernet port running Linux Mint 10, on a different switch (also a GBit, with a link back to the same router). Just for kicks, here are it’s stats:
Mint Linux 10 “Julia”
IBM ThinkCentre
Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.66Ghz
1GB RAM
1x 250GB HDDAgain, made from parts around the office.

Have you guys tried to do an off network fog server? Like self contained on a laptop, that you could just drag into a room with a switch and image pc’s? Also, does anyone have any advice on a setup behind a small home router managing DHCP and not Fog? Thx

Yes I have had a portable FOG install on a laptop before. It worked really well.

I use Virtual Machines… I have pfsense controlling DHCP and FOG on Ubuntu within ESXi
