Thank you this is pretty much what i was looking for.

I know it is a small thing however I was wondering would it be possible to have FOG display the list of all Hosts, Groups, and Images when you open up the corresponding management.
Example would be when you click on Host Management icon you are presented with a List of all available Hosts. It could include the search bar located on top with the ability to narrow the list down using a search.
If it is possible to do this already then how would I go about doing this?

Thank you

Hello,

I would be interested in doing something similar. In my case I would like to be able to have a registered client boot from a bootable iso when told instead of booting directly to the hard drive.

Example:
Machine A told to boot to B.iso
Machine A wakes up over LAN
Machine A is directed to boot from B.iso instead of hard drive.
Machine A boots from B.iso

If you figure out a solution please let me know.

Hello,

I am not sure if any one else has run into this issue however I am using a fresh install of Fog 1.2 on Ubuntu 12.04. When I set the Image Type as Single Disk Resizble for my Vista Image with Window Vista as the Operating System.

The Image will successfully upload however when trying to download the download fails with partclone stating that the image is not a partclone image. I have verified this issue is with both 32 and 64 bit windows vista and that when the image is being uploaded it does use partclone.
The system is working with windows 7,8 and 8.1 only vista is having this issue. Also if I select Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable) the Image upload and download both work.

If you need any more information please let me know.

Thank you!

For a fresh install I would recommend using a sysprep image maintained in a virtual machine.

Hello Tom,

Thank you that worked like a charm it even allowed the ICH9 to work correctly. Will using the ipxe.pxe file work for physical machines or do i need to set that back to the undionly.kpxe file when I move to a more physical environment?

Thank you

Hello,

I am currently testing fog 1.1.1 using a virtual environment with virtual box. I have fog setup on Ubuntu 12.04 fresh install and with Windows server 2012 R2 for DHCP and NFS.
Everything is being handled withing a virtual network within virtual box.
First thing I noticed was that if the system Chipset is set to ICH9 the test machine will initialize IPXE however when it gets to the part after
“IPXE 1.0.0+ (7fe0) – Open Source Network Boot Firmware – [url]http://ipxe.org[/url]”
The machine will hang on the Configuring step and then reboot and will become stuck in this reboot cycle.

After changing the chipset to PIIX3 I was able to get into the fog PXE menu and image the machine however after imaging the machine the machine goes back into the reboot cycle.

Would anyone be able to help with what the issue may be as why the machine goes into this reboot cycle and never reaches the fog pxe menu?

Thank you

Hello,
So after changing the sata operation mode from to Raid it seems to be proceeding with the deploy process. I am sorry I did not try this before I just figured that fog would work with IDE or ACHI mode both which i had tried earlier.

Thank you both of you for you help with this issue. although I am still confused why raid mode would work while ide does not.

I am not sure if this changes anything however I tried the SSD in a different machine that is working and I was able to successfully deploy a image onto that drive.

As far as driver needs I do not know where to get this info if you give me an idea I can let you know.

Thank you for all the help you have provided as of now.

Hello BPSTravis,

I tried following the instructions given to creating a kernel however when I get to the step to extract I get an error.
stdin: not in gzip format

I am new to using linux so any help in getting past this would be great.

Thank you
