Trouble with Deploying an image

[ebcsupport]

Hey everyone,

Need some help with my FOG server. Set it up, uploaded an image, but I can’t deploy an image.

1. If I try to Deploy and image to a host vai the web interface, it says:

Failed to create deployment tasking for the following hosts
You must first upload an image to create a download task

(So far, I think this actually still does start the task.)

2. Once the host connects to FOG to grab the image, I get:

Cannot access /images/HP/dl.mbr: No such file or directory
 Image Store Corrupt: Unable to locate MBR. 

I double checked the permisssions by following this post: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/1475/image-store-corrupt-unable-to-locate-mbr

My images folder:

ls /images
dev  postdownloadscripts

and my /images/dev folder:

ls /images/dev/
d48564bb7172

Any help is appreciated. I think my error is something to do with the image not moving to the /images folder? But I’m not entirely sure. Thank you.

Can you please post what version of FOG and what OS you are using?

What’s the name of the image you’re trying to deploy?

[Sebastian Roth]

FOG stores images in /images/dev/<mac-address> temporarly while upload is going on. This image is usually moved to /images/<image-name> (/images/HP in your case I guess) after upload was finished successfully.

But this did not happen in your case. Hard to say why as I don’t have any more information about this. As a quick fix you could try uploading again or moving the image by hand (mv /images/dev/d48564bb7172 /images/HP).

Did you see any error message at the end when uploading the image? Maybe your FTP settings are boged: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP

The name of the image in Fog is HP-Compaq8000-Win7PRo

OS is ubuntu 14.04 and Fog version is 4870

My FTP looks good on the server. I’ll try manually moving the image and see what happens.

Ok so moving the file from /images/dev to /images/HP worked. Thanks everyone.

What is causing it to not move it automatically?

[Junkhacker]

are you able to connect to your server with an FTP client using the credentials stored in the storage management page?

2 out of 3 times it’s FTP credentials related - and the fix for this is very easy. The article Uncle Frank posted below has steps for it.

Either a FTP issue as Junkhacker already said or possibly an ext3 filesystem issue (which is a bit unlikely in your case using ubuntu). If all FTP tests on your machine are working great then you might want send us the output of sudo mount
