I have a very odd issue: the hard disk (I think) on two previously working computers failed. So bought 2 new ones. Went from 512GB to 1TB. BIOS recognises the new disk. But the kernel doesn’t. I get: “cannot find disk on system (getHardDisk)”.

I did exactly the same replacement 2 months ago, although in that case I got a 1TB WD I think, this time I had a 1TB Seagate Barracuda. But specs appear to be pretty identical.

Is something else wrong with these computers? That’s what I’m thinking. Maybe motherboard gone or something. Is that a reasonable guess for this kind of problem?

It’s not scheduling. I just click on a client to immediately download. First one works.

Second one gives me that message. When first one has started, I can continue with the 2nd one.

So it’s annoying as I can not quickly click click click schedule a couple of clients for immediate deployments.

Hi All, when I have a single client and set it to download an image, all works fine. But when I try to schedule a download task for same image for 2nd client (in same group as client 1), I get “Download task failed to create for client2 with image Windows 7. To setup download task, you must first upload an image”

I have to wait till client1 is finished (or perhaps started) before I can do the 2nd one. I cannot use udp multicast as that will grind my network to a halt, so rather update clients in batches.

Using fog 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.

Is there a fix somewhere?

I’m not quite sure what the problem is: why do you need default.ipxe when undionly.pkxe works?

Or is the error that it asks for default.ipxe?

What if you start it? “service tftpd-hpa start”

Bill, in case you just installed php5-mcrypt, make sure apache is restarted.

Second thing to check is if mcrypt is actually loaded so for example in php5/apache2/conf.d does it mention to load mcrypt? Else load explicitly in your php.ini with extension=mcrypt.so or so, just to be sure.

OK, I think I get it, you want to use two storage nodes, both basically the same in all respects, except the image path. Try duplicating your default one exactly, except the image path.

/etc/exports isn’t updated, so yes, you would have to change that. Probably you would need two entries per image path I think, the dev subpath for uploads, and the other read-only for downloads. So simply copy the existing entries and adapt for your new path. Make sure your /images/drive1 has a dev subdirectory.

After editing exports reload the daemon: exportfs -ra

Hopefully this gets you going somewhere.

I’m not sure I can see your problem though, why can’t you add a new storage node or change an existing storage node? The /images path is not hard-coded, simply a setting of the default storage node.

The first link is severely outdated, have marked it as such.
