@fredlwal sudo service isc-dhcp-server stop ?

@szecca1 In your installation, the PXE client push/get image directly on the NAS, not on the FOG Server > /images.

After upload task the image is move via FTP directly on your NAS.

@Wayne-Workman You can execute chmod -R 777 "$storage" >/dev/null 2>&1 outside the IFs after them, one ligne of code saved lol

@loosus456 Hi, the 600MB/min looks like a FastEthernet speed, not a Giga.

Hey everyone, having a problem I can’t find anything about. My install of fog 1.2.0 was working correctly, but after a restart when I go to the management site it briefly shows the login screen then displays a 404 page stating “Not Found: The requested URL /wgcgi.cgi was not found on this server”.

Any ideas?

Hi,

It’s seem to be a Firewall problem.
Can you provided your FOG/Network configuration ?

Regards,
Ch3i.

@cspence The difference is IO access. NFS need more IO access than CIFS, if you have a good NAS/SAN/Local storage prefer NFS. If you have Local/NAS storage in SATA II take what you want.
Tests with : HP MSA, HP3par, EMC Clarion, EMC VNX, Synology RS2414 and Netgear Readynas RN3220

Inside the FOG DB, there are two multicast association tables. Can you delete all the rows in those tables, re-install FOG, and try again and see what happens?

TRUNCATE TABLE multicastSessions; 
TRUNCATE TABLE multicastSessionsAssoc; 
DELETE FROM tasks WHERE taskTypeId=8;

Via MySQL cli or phpmyadmin (easy to install)

@titeufbe I’m imaging a windows 2012 server on vmware (esxi 5.5) without problem (at this time I’m on partclone image)

I have a Debian 7 with latest SVN of FOG.

Wich version of FOG are you use ?

Hi, tested on my network : it’s OK.

@Wayne-Workman said:

That’s incredibly strange… but ok.

Some SSD can be used as RAM. That function is available via a driver. I tested it under linux.
I suppose that if the image is uploaded with a certain quantity of memory, you have to restore it with the same quantity…

Just a thought.

@elishasmantle said:

Is it possible, If I have all the images created and stored on a server to have it find a specific image to use for imaging that particular system?
E.G: an HP-15-223WM boots from PXE and it looks for image name HP-15-223WM and begins restore imaging process?

Hi, You can register all of your hosts (manually via iPXE or via the new FOG client if you have windows client machine), create groups in FoG for each model, and link the model image with the model group.
