FOG 33b - installation - HP Elite 8300 SFF

That’s correct. I selected that option believing that it gave me an extra option on the PXE registration page.
You need to put a better explanation of what it is on the initial user creation page.
I really did not know if I should tick it or not.
What do I do now to get access again. This is the one and only user I have called fog. -
You have to unflag the user.
[code]mysql -u root -p fog[/code]From the mysql shell run the command:
[code]UPDATE users SET uType=‘0’ WHERE uName=‘fog’;[/code] -
And could I have a definitive answer on if it is necessary with 33b to modify the bind-address= in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to my fogserver ip address? (as it was necessary with 32)
-
Thanks so much Tom. It works again. And I will not tick that option again.
Can I suggest the following text in addition to that you have by that tick box:Warning - if you tick this box, this user will not be able to log into this FOG Management Console in the future.

I am trying to register 1 client, an old HP
PXE TFTP open timeout
It’s not finding the pxe boot file.
A few years ago I think I fixed this with
sudo start tftpd-hpaBut tftpd-hpa is already running.
Server 2012 R2 already has DHCP scope options:
066 = fogserver
067 = undionly.kpxeSo what’s the problem?
-
does your fog server have the file:
/tftpboot/undionly.kpxe -
yes
-
And could I have a definitive answer on if it is necessary with 33b to modify the bind-address= in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to my fogserver ip address? (as it was necessary with 32)
-
i recommend setting 66=10.0.1.40 on your DHCP server, so there isn’t any question if it’s resolving the hostname
-
Probably still necessary. I don’t have a definitive answer because this varies per system.
-
I have also tried one of the new HP clients. It does not find the pxe file either.
-
Please make sure you listen to Tom FIRST!
Sometimes after a restart you need to restart the tftp service.
[CODE]sudo restart tftpd-hpa[/CODE]
Edit:
Also, use the ip address of the fogserver for option 66. -
Thanks Junkhacker, I forgot to put in a DNS reference to fogserver.
Now PXE is working on the old HP
The registration works.
But now when the PC is rebooted, and I don’t touch anything, when it defaults past the FOG options, whilst the FOG pxe page is still visible, I see:“Booting from SAN device 0x80”
and it freezes there. Nothing I press takes me further …
I have not set an imaging task or anything like that.
I’ll try the new HP and get back to you.
-
SAN device 0x80 is the local hard disk. is there a valid OS on the drive?
-
Ubuntu 12.04.4
-
i mean on the client that is pxe booting, not the server
-
This post is deleted! -
I have just changed the boot order on the client with Ubuntu 12, to boot straight to the HD and Ubuntu booted as expected.
The harddisk is not corrupt.It’s definitely the fog pxe file creating the problem.
-
Just to explain, I want to put Ubuntu 12 on all the old HP PCs as a way of both erasing the hard drives and also making it possible for the parents in the school to have a free linux PC if they want, instead of throwing them away.
But the real priority is getting the new Windows 8.1 HP clients deployed.

:eek: side stepped us there lol. so [U]Client is Ubuntu 12.04.4[/U]
