[quote=“saihaynes, post: 4601, member: 1505”]Hi all,
Fog has been working great (ubuntu 10.04 and Fog 0.32) for us no problems.

We recently had to transfer the roles of our primary domain controller to the secondary dc.

Fog no doesn’t appear to boot correctly, I have setup DHCP on the new box and everything works fine, I have recreated options 66 and 67 and can connect from an xp workstation using TFTP server name/ip GET pxelinux.0.

Now when I try and pxe boot a client I get the attached screenshots, any help much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Sai,
I know what the problem is, since you have migrated your DHCP server to a new one, I am assuming you have new IP address for this DHCP server then you need to make changes into your PXE boot menu to point to the IP address of your new DHCP/TFTP server.

[quote=“xNRSVx, post: 9911, member: 3028”]I’ve been using FOG .32 for just about 2 weeks now, and absolutely love it. I’d like to integrate images for Apple computers (both Intel and PowerPC hardware), but don’t wish to setup DeployStudio or NetRestore; I’d prefer to utilize the bootable factory image that you’d normally get on DVD or through the app store (the .DMG file). My FOG server is running on an isolated network, and I believe is setup to be the DHCP. Would it be possible to setup FOG in such a way that I could NetBoot the Apple units directly to the server, customize the PXE menu, and simply add an option pointing to a DMG file (similar to adding ISOs with the “raw” flag)?[/quote]

You can incorporate clonezilla with FOG to image your MAC systems, in order to do this follow the instruction on the link provided below:
and as far as PXE booting MAC systems are concerned you can also do that as well. You need to create a CD/DVD image of gPXE-1.0.1+ and boot your MAC systems from the CD/DVD and then it will boot from your current PXE.

[quote=“william.nunn, post: 11251, member: 939”]We are currently looking for a solution to image our Imac 20’s. I can the IMac’s to gpxe but I can’t get them to do anything past the fog screen. I was wondering what kernel you were using and what method you was using to image your MACS off of the fog server?[/quot

Once you get the gPXE-1.0.1+ CD/DVD image then you can incorporate that with Clonezilla Live for PXE to image your MAC systems.
The following post will do the trick :

What kind of Switches are you using in your network ?
If you are using Cisco switches you have to enable broadcast on the subnets you would want the WOL to pass through. In order to do this :

Lets say:
FOG server on vlan 50 with IP address 10.2.50.70
PC on vlan 130 with IP address lease from DHCP running on FOG server

ip forward-protocol udp discard
access-list 101 permit udp host 10.2.50.70 any eq 9
interface Vlan50
ip address 10.2.50.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 10.2.130.255

interface Vlan130
ip address 10.2.130.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 10.2.50.35
ip directed-broadcast 101

As I mentioned previously, you will need gPXE-1.0.1+ in order to boot your EFI based systems from network. another option is to get the live pxe version of Clonezilla and create an entry on your pxe menu which points to your Live Clonezilla. With this in place then you can upload/download EFI, EUFI, EFT, EXT, NTFS, FAT based file systems.

Yes, the original PXE boot file is pxelinux.0 , you need to download the gPXE version 1.0.1+ and then place the gpxe-1.0.1+ boot file under your TFTP boot directory. In order to chainload your PXE server “if you are running windows DHCP” follow the instruction from this site:

Hope this helped.

Hi David,

Once you have downloaded the Clonezilla Live you need to Extract the contexts of the ZIP file. There are three files you need to extract:

1. vmlinuz
2. initrd.img
3. filesystem.squashfs
   Then you need copy these three files into your tftboot directory. once you are done copying those three files then edit your menu:

sudo vi /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/menu

Then make a new entry:

label Clonezilla-live
MENU LABEL Clonezilla Live (Ramdisk)
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=initrd.img boot=live config noswap nolocales edd=on nomodeset ocs_live_run=“ocs-live-general” ocs_live_extra_param=“” ocs_live_keymap=“” ocs_live_batch=“no” ocs_lang=“” vga=788 nosplash noprompt [COLOR=red]fetch=tftp://YOURSERVERIPADDRESS/filesystem.squashfs[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000]Restart your network [/COLOR]

sudo /etc/init.d/network restart

Start up your client you wish to boot to pxe and it should work.

Hope it helped.

[quote=“Frank, post: 2083, member: 691”]Great, I didn’t know Clonezilla offer that features.
I also meant that althought you acces Clonezilla from Fog menu, there is no way to work with an image created with Clonezille from Fog; if you create an image with clonezilla then you must manage this image from clonezilla, Right?

By the way, do you know if Fog will support EFI in a future?

thanks a lot for you help.[/quote]

Yes, since the Image format is different then you have to use Clonezilla.

I have not seen anywhere that FOG support EFI, EXT, or EFT, but again you can use gPXE-1.0.1+ and chainload you FOG PXE in order to create/upload/download EFI based images.

If you would like to know how to do this let me know.

Frank,

Do you mean can you deploy images on multiple computers at the same time ? If so, then yes, you need to do a multicast session and Clonezilla offer that feature as well.

[quote=“Frank, post: 2075, member: 691”]Hi Amir,
I have the same issue as Leroy and I am interested in integrating Fog and live Clonezilla. How do you suggest to do that? Just adding a pxe menu option for clonezilla or something more complicated?

Regards[/quote]

Hi Frank,

Yes you need to do couple of things, one is creating entry in the PXE boot menu. In order to do this follow these instructions:

1. You need to download Clonezilla Live for PXE, There are three files you need extract after you download the ZIP file and place them into your /tftpboot Directory. The instructions are also are on this site as well:
   [url]http://clonezilla.org/livepxe.php[/url]

2. Once you are done, create a new entry in your FOG PXE Menu by:
   If you are usuing Ubuntu:

sudo vi /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/menu

Then make a new entry:

label Clonezilla-live
MENU LABEL Clonezilla Live (Ramdisk)
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=initrd.img boot=live config noswap nolocales edd=on nomodeset ocs_live_run=“ocs-live-general” ocs_live_extra_param=“” ocs_live_keymap=“” ocs_live_batch=“no” ocs_lang=“” vga=788 nosplash noprompt [COLOR=red]fetch=tftp://YOURSERVERIPADDRESS/filesystem.squashfs[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000]Reboot your client, choose the clonezilla live from the pxe menu once you have given the menu and enjoy uploading/downloading your new images.[/COLOR]

Hope this helped,
