Image failing to upload with FOG 1.2
-
I recently set up an Ubuntu 10.04 server running FOG 1.2. At one point I was able to upload an image but I was having chainloading issues. I fixed the chain loading issues but now it fails to initialize the upload. DHCP is running on a Windows server with option 66 and 67 (undionly.kpxe) enabled. The TFTP server and FOG Storage Nodes are setup with the same username and password as the local user on the Ubuntu server. Below is what the screen loads on the upload machine before loading the FOG menu and then Windows.

At what point does it break?
-
It goes from the screen above to the FOG menu, then after several seconds it boots into windows.

if you have an upload task waiting for that host, you should never see the FOG menu… it should just go straight to the uploading process.
-
That seems to be the problem. The task shows up a queued but never begins.
-
@SantRamos You registered this host? This host has one NIC or two?
How did you register this host? -
The host is registered. I registered the host via the web client and also have it running FOG service.
-
Can you delete the host, and do a “Full host registration” from the boot menu please?
this will eliminate the possibility of typos.
Then after registration, from the FOG web UI, create an upload task for the newly created host.
-
I get an “Invalid MAC Address” response when I try to register from the boot menu.

Now we’re cooking.
Please try to set your DHCP option 067 to undionly.kkpxe and see if you get the same error or not.
Another area to look at is the boot menu’s “Compatibility” items…
-
When I’ve tried changing to “undionly.kkpxe” it will go to the FOG menu but won’t load windows. When I go through the “Compatibility” options I can ping the server, it displays a MAC address, and the “Check FOG Compatibility” passes.
-
@SantRamos What is the model of the target device? Also, when you choose “display MAC” in the compatibility menu, does it display the correct MAC ?
-
It’s a Dell Latitude E6520. When I go through “Display MAC” it displays the correct one.

Is this the only model affected, or will no model upload an image?
-
No model will upload.
-
@SantRamos Can you ensure that your firewall is turned off on the FOG server?
-
Yes, the firewall is turned off on both the FOG server and the host I am trying to upload from.
-
Are you using the Location plugin?
-
No, we’re not using the location plugin.
-
@SantRamos I think I know where your failure is… when you say “fails to initialize” I think that’s the actual error, right?
