@Wayne-Workman so perhaps not fixed yet? if not thats fine. I was able to successfully image from the node, using the location plugin. So nice to see this start to come together.

http://<serverip>/fog/management have you tried typing that?

It should have been fixed this morning. try updating to the latest version. i had this exact issue this morning.

Image replication is working great, however, i get this during the snap-in rep:

mirror: Access failed: 553 Could not create file. (camdf.bat)

Version 7853

@george1421 agreed, but it ws already bought… so will work with what I got.

@george1421 ugg. apparently i was informed this was just bought, and waiting on the arrival:

http://www.waspbarcode.com/barcode-scanners/wws550i-freedom-barcode-scanner#

It says no drivers required, so hopefully the dongle works during the Reg phase. Will super suck if not.

What scanner do you use?

@george1421 I dont think that will work… each of our asset tags is a different number. asset tags are our primary way of knowing what machine is what. When it comes time to name the machine during imaging, our PS script pulls the asset and server tag info from the bios, and puts it together how we want.

So sadly i think i will need to the scanner-keyboard-scanner option… but still sounds better than keying in everything.

And helps on fat-fingering characters.

@george1421 I was thinking about just doing the full reg, if the auto pop didnt work. That way I can just take care of the name then, instead of trying to match up mac addresses later. Plus our asset tag stickers have barcode on them, so if we have a external BC scanner, I might be able to scan the AT, type the hyphen, and then scan the back of the machine for the service tag. I will need to try that out.

Thanks for the idea.

At one point when i first started testing out FOG, it was pulling the Asset from the board. Sometimes i saw it in chassis, sometimes it was in MB… but now its no where.

@george1421 You mean you are just using the “other tag” fields? for Asset.

Sorry, its 1.2, 7847.

This would be awesome if it would work that way. That would make my boss happy lol. As well as registration quick and easy for new equipment.

Thanks for the info.

Me again. Here is what is happening

1. Host will not register manually if Auto pop is enabled
2. Trying to use Auto pop Quick Reg, with custom naming field. (Quickreg Autopop doesnt seem to bring anything up, just the normal boot menu, which ends up booting to the HDD, acting like it doesn’t need to register)
   
   We will end up either using {CASEASSET}-{SYSSERIAL} or {MBASSET}-{SYSSERIAL}
3. When the inventory is ran manually, it does not grab either Asset field. the Asset is set in the BIOS, but does not show in the host inventory.
   

Am I doing this wrong?

@Tom-Elliott just updated Main and node. Chainloader seems to be working for registered and unregistered hosts now. Was able to register from remote location. Thanks.

Hopefully Falko has the same results

Updated to 7845, chainloading seems to fail if host is not registered.

I tried from a remote site using the location plugin. the host was manually entered. It worked. I was able to get in the boot menu, I did a host unregister. the host removed itself, then it would not pxe back to the boot menu. Complained about the chainloader. Manually added, worked again. I also tried this at the Main’s site using a VM. I network booted from the VM and being it was not manually registered, it gets the chainloader error. As soon as I manually add the host to FOG, it works perfectly.

All I get is invalid syntax. No clue what I am doing wrong.

@Wayne-Workman this is what i get:

Sorry, I am new with Linux, so it is all a learning curve for me.

When i do the Main server I get this: I will try the other things in a bit. Do I simply just copy and paste those commands in putty and which server do I do this on?

@Tom-Elliott I just upgraded the Main and reinstalled the storage node yesterday afternoon
