Issues after upgrading to 16.04

[Tom]

@Wayne-Workman I think I’m on FOG trunk 1.3 RC10.
Thanks!

@Tom Then you’re good to go.

@Wayne-Workman The question is what should I do when I will need to upgrade to new OS. I’m not looking to stay on 14.04 forever
Is there a way to export\import fog settings and images?

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom Build a new server (use the same IP), install the latest FOG RC or release on it, and port over images and hosts. Copying over images is a simple six-command pow-wow. Getting image definitions and hosts is through the web interface. Host Management -> export, Image Management -> Export, and import on the new server. Then just moving over the certificates and all done.

Just change the old fog server’s IP address at CLI, imaging won’t work on it after this, but it’s fine. The new server shoud be given the old one’s IP address.

From the newly built server with FOG installed, just mount the old server’s images directory to a local directory and then copy them over.

mkdir /tempMount
mount x.x.x.x:/images /tempMount
cp -r /tempMount /images
umount /tempMount
chown -R fog:root /images
chmod -R 777 /images

Follow instructions here for moving your ssl stuff over to the new server - this is very important if you use the new FOG Client.
