Data Migration form FOG 0.32 to 1.2
-
and even the node isn’t working… can’t connect. Is there anything else to do besides pointing towards it and providing it with the user/password who has full access to that share? maybe a specific syntax…
-
And I can`t uninstall it? what the hell… I really feel like an idiot now, trying to follow the tutos on your websites but any files they tell me to modify delete edit copy whatever you like… doesn’t exist.
How old are those tutorials?
-
I guess I’m lost.
Mathieu,
FOG Is designed to be run on Linux systems. That’s not to say you can’t install elements on other OS’s but I don’t think Windows NFS Shares are going to allow FOG to get the file size information. This isn’t for a lack of my trying, but rather a limitation of the differences in commands and data gather between linux and Windows.
I can’t walk you through all the possibilities that you may encounter. All I can do is lead you in the right directions based on the information you’re providing.
For what it’s worth, the Config file used to be located in /var/www/{,html/}fog/commons/config.php. 1.2.0 moved this same config file to: /var/www/{,html/}fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php
The information in Config.class.php is really only used to connect to the database. The extra lines in the file (at the bottom below the database stuff) is really for the very first install of fog, and simply used to setup the database initial items. Once it’s in the database, it’s no longer used at all and has no impact on the running of FOG.
Adding storage nodes is a very simple thing, but when trying to do “custom” things it may entail some more work. There’s nothing I can do to help make it any simpler. Install the components needed on the Windows Server (ftp, nfs, etc…) and create a Node entry in the FOG GUI. It won’t display the disk usage, but that does not mean it will not work. That all said, I don’t know what else to do or what you’re wanting.

To uninstall:
[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Uninstall_FOG[/url]If you are using the direct copy and paste these download links are old and possibly may not work. [URL=‘http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/FOG/fog_1.2.0/’]Here[/URL] Is the most recent stable release of FOG. However, bugs have been found and corrected in the beta versions. To download these you will need to look [URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk’]here[/URL].

I uninstalled everything I
ll try again using wolfbanes link.I
m sure Ill figure out what Im doing wrong... dont know how long it will take me but I`ll find out
-
hahaha I want to cry now -_-… I reinstalled FOG on a cleaned up Ubuntu 13.10 box… but after installation… no web GUI has been set up… there is nothing in the www folder… did I miss something there? XD

I’m happy to say after a good week-end of not doing any IT work came in this morning, flushed all, reinstalled and now everything is fine. I just came up with one little mistake though that you might be able to clear out. I just finished uploading a windows 7 image as a test upload to make sure the nodes were correctly configured, and the image has been successfully placed in the right server, but now I’m testing the download for deployment and it gives out an error stating it cannot be downloaded, saying I first need to upload an image.
I reapplied the test image to the host in the settings but no go. Is there a small step I forgot to do here?
EDIT: image format is
Windows 7
[SIZE=2]Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable)[/SIZE] -
on your images page, is there a size on server listed for the image?
-
Yes size on client and size on server are both displayed
-
Update on the issue. It seems to only happen from the basic tasks menu on hosts. If I go directly to active tasks menu and create a download there it will work. But on host basic task download menu its a no go. And it is not even thinking about it it just sends me the error in half a second.
-
i don’t understand what you mean. there is no method to create a task from the active tasks page.
-
Sorry I meant the task management. Let me put it clearer sorry
What’s not working:
When looking to a host configuration and clicking on basic tasks, you cannot perform a download from there. It pops up an error message saying there needs to be an image uploaded first (which there is already one). No scans no look nothing its instant as if no connection between this option and the database was made.
What is working:
When going to either Host management OR Task management under search host or list all hosts and clicking on the deploy arrow. This creates the download task and is ready to go.
In other words, it is not the whole download/deploy option that is broken, it is just that link under basic tasks in the host configuration page.
-
before a task gets generated the interface checks if an image has been assigned in the database, and it checks by ftp if the image exists on the storage node. this check is always pretty much “instant” in my experience.i believe it does the same checks no matter what button you use to create the task, but i could be wrong.
-
Which then makes it a weird bug… here’s some pictures, one of the error message when using the download option in the basic tasks, the other one after clicking on the download arrow from the hosts list.

-
ok, i’m told that the quick task button doesn’t perform this check. this points to a problem with the ftp running on your storage node
-
We do not use an FTP. This node is sitting in an NFS drive. Is the FTP check something new? it wasn’t giving me the error in version 0.32.
-
No, FTP is not new.
NFS is the “syncing” of the folders and FTP is the method to run commands to the node.
(This is in basic terms so that may not be the perfect way of saying this.) -
So do I need to create an FTP on my ftp server using Fog’s credential pointing to the node? how exactly is FTP connection will work on a machine or folder location that is not sitting in FTP?
-
WOW. Mass confusion…
What is the set up your are trying to accomplish?
-
haha sorry about that
FOG-server and DB are sitting on a Ubuntu 13.10 VM.
Image node is on an NFS share sitting on a Windows 2003 server (will be upgraded to 2008 R2 or 2012R2 soon enough)Basically I just want to get rid of that error message when doing the download from the basic tasks.
