Data Migration form FOG 0.32 to 1.2
-
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.
-
the storage location MUST have access to both NFS and FTP. without FTP you will get the error you just did, and after uploads the server will not be able to move the image from the /images/dev/<mac address> location to /images/<image name>

If you notice in the tutorial there is an ftp program that is required it is called [B][SIZE=13px][FONT=sans-serif][COLOR=#000000]Filezilla[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/B]. You may want to look over the guide again and check your settings.
-
Ok I changed the node location to another server we have NFS and FTP setup already. Im uploading the image and will test the download after.
Stay tuned for the update!
ps: sorry for all those questions -_-
-
Nope! definitely we need to look at something else. Same error. Something changed though, no more errors after upload to change file name as I was getting before. Before after upload I would get those errors but image would still be moved from dev to /images after. Now it moves and no errors show up.
BUT the download error coming from the link in Host management still is a no go. FTP is enabled, user has full control and is even owner of the /images folder as well as its parent.
-
In the tutorial it is only used for a secondary storage node. I’m guessing you wish to have the windows node as the primary. You will need to make that change to the storage management section if not done so already.
