Image won't deploy
-
Hi !
A first feedback :
Upload an Windows 7 image : it’s works with unfs3 but …- it’s very very slow : average rate : 70 Mb / min ! 5 hours for an upload ! (size : ~24Gb)
- i need to move the image into …/dev/@mac to …/images_FOG by FTP and i dont understand why this time.
Download : work in progress. The task is in progress ! Average rate : 1Gb / min.
-
The download task finally works with Windows7 and Optiplex7010 !
I’m very happy. i’m testing with an other hadware model : HP2530p.But, can you explain me why i always need to move the files …/dev/@Mac to …/<image name> ? It’s the same FTP problem ? In this time, i mount the NAS with /etc/fstab … The FTP user of NAS is required with this method ?
-
Edit : another incomprehension : with NAS declared on FOG Interface, download task works with Windows XP, Linux but not with Seven.
[U]The FTP check is only[/U] with Windows 7 when a download task is programed ? -
It, currently, on checks for Windows 7 and Windows 8, yes.

Many thanks for your help Tom.
Now, i have understood many things about FOG server and NAS … -

In the NAS’s eye’s, when FTP connects, /mnt/ doesn’t even exist. And seeing as /mnt/array1/images is being called, nothing can actually happen.How to fix? I haven’t yet figured out a nice method. You would probably have more luck if you looked up the NAS’s FTP functions to find out how to keep FTP from jailing you to a specified Home folder. NFS works perfectly, but FTP fails miserably. I don’t know how else to explain it.[/quote]
Hi.
I found an other good solution without use unfs3 (very slow) and no use /etc/fstab of FOG.
Just modify the FOG Home Folder on NAS … like you said. On the NAS (you [U]need[/U] ssh access), edit the /etc/passwd … :[CODE]
nobody99:99:Linux User,:/home:/bin/shmysql100:101::/dev/null:/bin/bash
…
…
fog1002:52::/mnt/array1/images:/bin/bash[/CODE]
On FOG Storage Management :
IP Adress : NAS IP
Path : mnt/array1/images
Done !
[U]Edit[/U] : i’m not sur if it’s really works. Test is in progress … caution !
[U]Edit2[/U] : it’s finally works with the /etc/passwd modification.
Steps :- SSH access on the NAS
- modify the /etc/passwd for the fog user on the NASif it’s needed
- declare the NAS on the storage management
- run an upload Win7 task
- run an download Win7 task
- be happy :]

Hm, it’s not work at 100% … it’s strange …
Explications :- Upload an win7 image on the NAS : OK (after to move the files …/dev/@Mac to …/<image name>)
- Download task :
-> if i choose the menu : Host Management, <host name>, Basic Taks, Download : “Download task failed to create for …”
-> IF i choose the menu : Task Management, List All Hosts (or Groups), click on “Download” on the client computer : the task is created … and the deploy works perfectly !
It’s not a major problem because, now, i can use my NAS with FOG with this trick but i don’t understand what’s happen …
-
up ! :eek:
-
What’s the up!?

hi,

When i need to deploy an win7 image, i use the Task Management, List All Hosts (or Groups), click on “Download” on the client computer … -
