Okay, so I made some mistakes (and hopefully I can keep someone else from making the same mistakes):

[LIST=1]
[]The reason I couldn’t get the task to start was because I had “Max Clients” set to 0 under the storage node. I had thought that 0 was unlimited, but it looks like 0 literally means 0. My mistake.
[]After fixing #1, the task would start but the image client would boot and then immediately fail to start the task. I removed the fog directory on the storage node (/opt/fog), removed the node and group from the fog management screen, then re-installed fog with fogstorage for the mysql user and the password shown under “Other Information >> Fog Settings >> Fog Storage Nodes” in the management interface. The first time I had set up fog on the storage node, I had created a new mysql user on the management node with a different password, which I now realize was wrong. My mistake again.
[/LIST]
After fixing those two mistakes and following the guide listed by Jaymes, I’m now able to successfully image remote clients. It’s been so long since I’ve set up Fog, I’ve forgotten how to do everything, but I’m glad to see this community is still active!

I’m running Fog 0.32 and I’ve added a remote storage node to a storage group, and marked it as the master node for that group. This remote storage node is acting as the TFTP server for the remote network, and I have successfully registered a single host using a PXE image served by this storage node.

However, when I try to tell the host to upload an image using the fog management node, I get an error: “Unable to start task Unable to located master node from storage group”. The storage group selected under the image is the group with the remote storage node, which I have verified is set as the master node. I can see the amount of storage available on the remote storage node on the main fog management screen, so I’m not sure what the issue is.

How should I proceed? Thanks for any assistance.

That worked perfectly, thanks Tom!

I saw a similar panic to the one originally mentioned in this thread, so I downloaded the kernel that Tom linked. However, now I get a new issue:

[CODE]request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt464c
Starting init: /sbin/init exists but couldn’t execute it (error -8)
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt464c
Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn’t execute it (error -8)
Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel[/CODE]

This occurs when trying to perform full host inventory of a Dell Optiplex 3020, with Fog 0.32
