Images not being Deployed
-
Fog Server Details:
- Ubuntu 12.04
- FOG Git 4980
The Issue:
When I go to deploy an image I receive this:
Everything looks alright but the image isn’t actually being brought down.
It erases my partitions and then the task is complete.
I’ve tried different images and different machines.Any help is appreciated!
-
Any specifics about where the image is being stored? If your images directory isn’t exported right or can’t mount on the client for some reason, it can cause this issue.
Any specifics about the device you’re restoring to? Has the HDD had an OS before? Or is it blank from factory?
-
Images are stored in /images on the FOG server.
The device itself has been imaged before with no issues. I’ve tried it on a physical desktop and also a VM. Both are doing the same thing.

Using the same image?
Can you verify the image still exists?
ls -lahrt /images -
Yep! Images are still there.
-
@jquilli1 Could you please post the ouput of
ls -al /images/AHSCiscoon the server and upload the file ‘/images/AHSCisco/d1.mbr’ to the forum (it’s very small and only has the partitioning information in it, no data). -
Sorry for the late reply again. File has been uploaded.
-
- Upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04
- Uninstalled FOG
- Reinstalled FOG using GIT instead of upgrading from 1.2.0
- Now receiving DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone ()

Thanks for the fix, back to the same issue of not being able to deploy.

@jquilli1 Can you run a Debug Deploy and make sure everything is working?
When you’re at the CLI (after hitting enter a few times), issue the
fogcommand. Then just slowly press enter for each step.I want you to pay special attention to the NFS Mounting parts.

Assuming I did this right. I ran an advanced task “debug” and then did this:
-
@jquilli1 It should be created like this:
-
Same issue
everything finished with “done”
-
What image type do you use? Is the source disk bigger than the destination?
-
Please boot the machine you want to deploy to in debug mode again (as Wayne described) and run this command
fogpartinfo --list-parts /dev/sda -
I’m linking this thread with this since I think the problems are the same: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5967/fog-server-4956-won-t-deploy-image-to-host

Looks like it might have been the image size being bigger than the destination disk. As of right now it’s working but it doesn’t make any sense because the disk I created the image from was 80GB and the destination disk I’m deploying to is 80GB. I’ll report back if I run into anything else.
Thanks for all of the help!

Are the two HDDs identical? Absolutely identical? Same model and everything?
Just a few KB smaller or a few sectors less will make a difference.

I am currently doing PoC of FOG for image deployment at my company… testing currently with VMs prior to imaging laptops. I’ve run into this issue presented by OP twice now, once with a Windows 10 and then a Windows 8.1 captured image. Both times I fixed by blowing away the captured image, deleting the computer, re-registering and re-capturing. Not sure what the cause is… will try to recreate the problem.
