I’ve another problem…
haven’t the time yet to mount my NFS storage so i keep using /images default directory of FOG; but when i try to download an image on a computer it said …

**FATAL ERROR: Failed to mount NFS volume
*if you believe the filesystem is mounted, make sure you have a file called .mntcheck in the directory you are mouting on the server.
**

i don’t see any “.mntcheck” file in /images and /images/dev…
So i created it with “touch /images/.mntcheck” and “touch /images/dev/.mntcheck” but it still dont work…
Can’t deploy anything now …

Hi!
Yeah thats it.
Ok, so its why when i type \SRVADM on a Windows computer i don’t see the NFS “FOG” directory i just shared ?

I’ll mount as described in the Sebastian’s procedure, and i’ll come back here so say whats up

@Sebastian-Roth
Thank you, i think too !
But the described procedure seems to be not secured! (grant RW access for “all”, “all machines”, “everyone” on shared folders…

the cryptowall “locky” ransomware that we had last week ravaged our datas and infected all folders which was shared with “everyone” rw right…

@Quazz
OK! But my data server SRVADM is a Windows Server 2008R2… i will look on it to enable NFS. Never did it before

@Quazz
But its not what i want to … FOG can’t write on a local directory and i dont understand why … i defined the storage node on /srv/cifs/SRVADM/image which is a directory on FOG server, BUT, i did a “mount -t cifs” on SRVADM distant server which looks OK.
for example, on fog server i create a test.txt file on this /images folder, and i see it on my windows server SRVADM, in D:/DATA_FOG/Images 's shared folder…

@Quazz

Thanks for your help. So, on fog storage node, instead of setup the “/srv/cifs/SRVADM/images” directory, mounted on a distant server; i setup directly the distant server with shared storage, with contoso credentials?

@ch3i
Désolé mais ça me paraît un peu compliqué, je connais pas vraiment la différence entre les deux. Je pensais que le cifs était utilisé pour monter des partage windows

Hello,

Thanks for ur help, effectively the /etc/exports file was default; i changed it but now the PXE “Mounting File System” step say

"mouting 10.1.11.64:/srv/cifs/SRVADM/images/dev on /images failed: Connection refused

Which credentials should i use ? i tried with domain account created for fog “adminfog”, with encrypted password, tried with “contoso\adminfog” also, tried with “fog” default storage nod + its password … i dont understand ?

EDIT: ok, i misunderstood one thing… i have already mounted the 10.1.11.64’s shared storage on /srv/cifs/SRVADM/images folder.
So, i think FOG must see this folder as a local folder, no ? so i defined “fog” local credentials, and now, when it reboot, “Mouting File System” step goes “Done”, but i still have “Fatal Error: Failed to mount NFS volume” ??

Hi Fog Community,

As i say in the title, i can’t upload any image on my shared storage i just created.
I mounted a shared directory on /srv/cfs/SRVADM/images on my server, connected by domain admin account; on my FOG server, i’m able to create a directory with mkdir or a file asked for the problem like:

touch /srv/cifs/SRVADM/images/.mntcheck
touch /srv/cifs/SRVADM/images/dev/.mntcheck

The two files appears in the directory; but when i try tu upload an image from a computer, iPXE say in “Mouting File System” step: "mount: mounting 10.1.11.170:/srv/cifs/SRVADM/images/dev on /images failed: Permission denied

root@SRVFOG ls -l /srv/cifs/SRVADM returns
drwxr-xr-x 2 fog fog 0 mars 10 18:18 images

On the storage node defined on fog webui, the credentials are id: “fog” and pass “password” exactly like “defaultStorageNode”

Thank you for ur help and sorry for my English…

Ok thanks, i’ll try with another exit style. But its not very practical to define this parameter to the 500 hosts 1 by 1 ^^’ … we will see.

Have a good day.

@Quazz

“SanBoot style” is defined on “Exit to Hard Drive Type” option, is it good?

@Wayne-Workman
No problem, i’m french and i think that i don’t write english very well so … i understand why you dont understand me

@Wayne-Workman

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I think you dont undestand. I’m able to boot on PXE, it works, the FOG menu is displayed, i cant perform an inventory of the computer or anything else.

But my computer boot first on it, and it should automatically boot from the hard drive after 3 seconds spent on “boot from hard disk” highlighted in this menu… but it doesn’t.

Hi Fog Community!

Need your help for another problem…
All my test clients encounter the issue, Latitude E5510, E5450, E7240, Optiplex 390…

I defined the “NIC Boot” first in the bios and HDD in second, deactivated all the other options. When i start the computer, it look for an IP address, contact and boot on the fog pxe menu, then automatically “Boot on hard drive”.
At this step, i got a black screen, and just a dash flashing at the top left corner … pressing ctrl+alt+suppr to reboot won’t work, i need to press the power button to shutdown.

The only way to boot on Windows is to press F12 when it start and boot manually on HDD…

Anyone can help me ?
Thanks forward!

Ok guys, really appreciate your help but i decided to create anoter VM with much disk space, and i’ll try to connect a network shared folder located on our SAN to it.

Anyway I think I would have ended up breaking everything on my VM.

Regards

@Tom-Elliott

sorry , i dont understood that i cant use sda anyway.

i have no /dev/sdb like fdisk say:

so i’ve to add it ? hyper-v permit to extend the VD size but the VM dont allow to extend this fresh space to the actual disk ??..

I’ll reduce the VD already allowed to sda to its original size: 45gb;
then i’ll add a VD to my VM which will be recognized by my VM as sdb? i try

@Tom-Elliott

Hi Tom-Elliott, thanks for the time you wasted to answer!
It looks very hard for me, i dont understand very well the partitioning of linux…

I tried to " fdisk /dev/sda" it return : “a new partition 3 type Linux and size 1023kiB has been created”
then i typed w and it return:
“Failed to read the partition table, maybe the peripheral is busy” so i rebooted and i’ve now this table:

I’ve deleted the partitions “sda3” and “sda4”, rebooted and do the cmds again: it return the same …
I’m sorry but i really dont undestand the fact to “mount” an “sdb”, i haven’t a second disk on my VM, so no sdb?

@ch3i

Thanks, but i dont understand the steps i’ve to do;
In the “Add & Extend a 2nd virtual HDD” FOG procédure; i’ve used this following cmds:

fdisk /dev/sda
Create a <n>ew
<p>artition
numbere <3>
<default>
<default>
<w>rite the changes to disk
<q>uit fdisk

then

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

then i tried to “resize2fs /dev/sda1” and got this error message

Thanks for your help!..

@ch3i

Hi ! Thanks for ur reply,

When i try to “resize2fs /dev/sda1” it return me :
" Le système de fichiers a déjà 11305984 blocs (4k). Rien à faire! "

Thanks for your reply, i think too.

If i understand, extend the virtual disk space with hyper-v just add a new volume on the VM, but it doesn’t extend the partition size ?

i dont know if i’ve to extend the /dev/sda1 or add a new partition ?

Hi!
Ok, new problem. I wanna install “sudo” on my server… Shell told me that i haven’t much space to download it.
45gb on 45gb used on the hard drive. So i stopped the VM, extended the VD to 150gb, then rebooted it.
Now, look at what the webUI displays me: …

And if i click on “Install/Upgrade” SQL returned me errors “NOT NULL” for tables… (already exists, of course)

Anyone can help me ?
