ill try copy them to the new server and see if they deploy but will have to reupload as the old image has a different ip in the fog client to the new server.

as mentioned the last three images are fine they work and deploy I don’t find it a aissue it doesn’t tell me the size on server theres plenty of space.

its the top two files which are the issue as they apparently uploaded correctly but when deploying it gives the error mentioned in previous posts.

is it possible to just copy and paste the image from the old servers /image folder to the new servers /image folder?

Ive tried reuploading the image again but still no joy any ideas what I can do?

hi so I have tried to upload another device image the rm notebook 310 xp image seen below and its doing the same as the 320 image below it as you can see it says the image size on the client but then on server its showing very low. I don’t know why the bottom 3 images don’t say anything for on server but they work as ive used this server to image many of them machine types and all of them apart from the windows 7 image was uploaded using the same method of deploying it to a device from the old server and then sysprepping and reuploading to the new.[IMG]http://s21.postimg.org/s9phmws9z/fog_images.jpg[/IMG]

Any ideas?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 38435, member: 7271”]What version of FOG was the “old” system?

You’re currently on 1.2.0?

Did you migrate, meaning you moved the files from 0.32 to 1.2.0 and recreated the images, or did you upgrade from 0.32 to 1.2.0?[/quote]

old server is 0.32 new is 1.20 they are seprate servers.

to get the image from the old one to the new. I deployed the image from the old server onto a device then switch the settings in DHCP to point to the new server then syspreped the device again and reuploaded to the new 1.2.0 server.

as mentioned I have other images which ive done this method with and its worked fine. and also new windows 7 image which was made fresh and uploaded these all work fine.

I think its a upload image due to the size of it on the new server only been 1.6gb

I have checked on the new server the disks all report fine under the raid, however the image file for this machine is reporting as only 1.6gb so am guessing something has gone wrong on the upload as its about a 26gb image.

server should be fine as all the other images work correctly and had no issues uploading them.

I will try a reupload.

Hi

Am trying to deploy a image to some laptops.the image was on the old fog server we had so I used that to image a laptop first then syspreped it and uploaded it to the new fog server which went fine, when ive come to deploy this image to the laptops it starts the imaging task for a few seconds then some text appears saying READ ERROR: no file or directory found.

any ideas?

Thanks tom that’s great just made the change

Hi

On the pervious fog server a ex colleague set up here when they pxe then went to say perform full host inventory it would ask for a password before it would let you continue. on the new fog server ive made v1.2.0 it doesent. does anyone know how to do this or if its even possible in this version.

thanks I will make the change and test.

is there a permanent fix for this just had to restart this service again.

Cheers jaymes should of looked harder before posting.

Ubuntu 12.04 lts.

But got it working now saw another thread mention similar but not the same and they were advised to restart the tftpd-hpa service once I did this it loaded correctly and started the upload job.

Hi

I recently started making a image of one of my machine types I performed a full inventory of the machine and it appears in the hosts list.

since then I updated fog to 1.2.0 from 1.1.2 and I have come to upload the image made the task in the web gui for the host and when I pxe the machine it picks up the machine ip dhcp etc but tftp fails and pxe aborts.

any ideas?

Thanks for the advise updated my fog server today

Thanks for the answer.

Sorry for the daft question will try this tommrow on my new 1.1.2 server

Hi sorry might be a daft question. But how do you update fog on a current install, is it a case I have to Redownload and do a fresh install or is there a simple command to update.

Hi wondering if anyone can offer any advice, so all the machines at work we plan to use are all RM branded and have oem licences, i have now got hold of the RM windows 7 64bit oem recovery disk (activates against bios), do i have to do anything special to make a golden image with this or would i be best making a single image for each RM Machine type, in total about 5 different models.

ive tested the sad2 tool on them and it works fine gets every driver no problem apart from the RM laptops which is a issue we have seen before with a faulty intel onboard graphic driver which basically kills the display and you have to RDP to the machine and update the driver for the graphic manually in device manager by searching automatically for the driver and it will grab the correct one from the internet, am not sure how i would update this manually in the driver packs either.

any advice would be great.

Oh yea I’ve done that. I mean do I just leave the section in the unattend file for the product key blank as this ets activated against the bios.

I have another query.

The company I work for manufactures pcs. All the machines were am trying to implement this are my work branded machines, they are licenced with a oem os which activates against the bios.

I have one of the oem 32 bit disks but not the 64 am getting hold of one. But what would I need to change in my sysprep file as I won’t need a key in there as the oem os activates against the bios.

I don’t know of any of that makes sense but if you understand please let me know.
