Sorry Sebastian bin involved in something else - i’ve have more than one fog image i can boot back up without a loss so no real hard done. Will start to build the centos image on a vm and see how well it performs. I would like to oput the large image files on an iscsi device do you think that is possible?

@Sebastian-Roth

THanks for your help, but no joy.
Looks like i’m building a new version !
Any recommendations for OS or comprehensive guides ?

HI Sebastian thanks for the reply,

Fog has been good as gold for a while - only issue we have is we are now seeing more pcs with m.2 ssd drives which fog 1.2.0 doesn’t seem to like (running kernal 4.1 i think) hence the need to upgrade. Was just looking for a quick win.

Fedora 21 was used simply because it was the only os i managed to get fog working correctly on. But open to any recommendations for any linux flavour as long as there are some guides on how to build; i am a windows guy so linux is a 2nd language for me.

@Sebastian-Roth

tried to install remi-release-21 with yum yum install remi-release-21
just says no package available

:Update sorry for the delay - had a nose through the log file myself to see if anything there were some missing packages which i have managed to install manually (the php ones mainly) . though it still cant seem to install remi-relase-21 nor can it find it ? install completes ok but now getting

"Warning: main(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are required to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone ‘UTC’ for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /var/www/html/fog/commons/text.php on line 22

Fatal error: Call to undefined function _() in /var/www/html/fog/commons/text.php on line 22"

when i look on line 22 its doesnt seem to have a reference to any timezone it’s a something to do with translation ?

HI all sorry for the repeat of topic ( i suspect this has been answered for others OS’s ) but I haven’t seemed to be able to a solution that worked for fedora 21.

When upgrading i seem to get stuck on the Stopping web service … failed and also fails setting up apache and php

• When I manually install all the bits are there already , Apache, php, Mysql and all up to date.
• I have stopped, started, enable, disabled and restarted php, apache etc and run the installer again.

Not sure where to go from here.

@Wayne-Workman i am also have the exactly the same error, are there any document that walk you through upgrading for fedora 23?

HI Wayne the only thing I am worried about is the master is in head office and the images may be uploaded during the day over leased lines.
Hence my worry over bandwidth. As you understand the network celling is significantly lower on these lines then over the lan.

Thank you,
A Very useful explanation and Video.
I have our fog master set up pretty much as you describe in the video so I at least I know I’m on the right tracks.

So what I’ve got from you and please correct me if I’m wrong is
*with master to node image replication, I can control bandwidth of image replication and how often it checks for new images from the master?

• if I upload an image it is always uploaded directly to the master node ? if so can the bandwidth of this be controlled ?
  (we have a few sites that use different images so having these available across the whole business would be ideal)

**I didn’t think fog 1.3.0 was available yet ? I’m still running 1.2.0

Background <Optional reading>
I am thinking of deploying some nodes across the business, we have 4 sites all interconnected.
A few site have different images to other sites.
The main site has a fog master server at present.
The other offices are connected via leased lines so obvious choice would be a node in each site.

Issue:
The only issue i have is I can’t find any documentation regarding how the master and the nodes exchange image data.
Does it sync back and forth ?
If so how and when ?
Is this automatic ? or Manual ?

If its automatic
Is it done on a schedule ?
Can you control the schedule ? the bandwidth ?

You can appreciate Obviously i cant have a 40GiB image floating across leased lines from one site to the next during the day.

So any help would be gratefully received.

What would need changing to allow the other wipe modes in the advanced menus ?

What do you mean by return your installation ?

I have fog 1.2 on Fedora 21 worksation all works well but am moving network round.

Have located and changed all the ip’s except the ipxe one
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Change_FOG_Server_IP_Address refers to /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default as the location of the settings that need to be changed but nothing is in that location.

Anyone know where the ipxe settings would be so i can update the IP and dns ?
