@tom-elliott Thanks for the reply. This is from our main server. I just built that one and put it in place to test it. That FOG version is 1.4.4, running on the latest CentOS 7. We have a much older one running Ubuntu that I would like to replace.

@wayne-workman Sure I’ll try to help out when I get back to work on Monday. We normally set our PCs to boot in Legacy mode. Just let me know what you need me to do.

FOG Server version 1.4.4
CentOS 7 fully updated

I’m having the attached error when restoring the image on a Windows 7 machine. After the PC reboots, the image is fine. Should this error be something that I should be worried about or can I disregard it?

It’s going to be a mobile deployment server that can hop between subnets. We are planning to take the Raspberry Pi 3s to different facilities, plug them into the network and download the images off of the mobile server. If that makes sense.

Is there a way to change the IP address for the FOG server once it has been installed? I would like to setup a FOG server on a Raspberry Pi 3 and I need it to be able to access different sections of our network. Thanks.

Does anyone know the latest stable release version of FOG? Thanks.

@Quazz The standard stuff. The page could not be reached. I also was wondering if I need to uninstall and reinstall FOG anyways, because we have DHCP servers setup on our network, and I skipped all of that through the initial config. Do you think this is maybe why I’m having issues now? I tried to setup the startup script in the CentOS 7 manual, but it seemed not to work. Thanks for any input.

So I got the FOG server installed, but I had issues with getting my first image. The PXE function seems to work fine but I tried setting the PC for capture under the management console and it said something about the PC wasn’t set for imaging? Does this make sense? So I rebooted, and now I can’t even get into the management console. Any suggestions? Thanks.

@george1421 I’m stuck on editing the /etc/fstab. Here is a copy of what I’m looking at. Can you help? Thanks.

@george1421 No images are in the /images folder at this time. I just would like to install FOG on a separate drive and start fresh, by re-uploading all of my images.

I guess I wasn’t too clear. I apologize. I have installed CentOS and the drives are how I showed you previously. However, FOG is not installed at this time. That’s what I meant by start from scratch.

@george1421 Yes I want to sacrifice the 830gb partition and just mount the /images on the 7.3tb drive.

@george1421 Here’s what my drives look like:

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 953M 0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2 8:2 0 953M 0 part /boot

@george1421 Ok, change in scenario. I’m starting from scratch. I would like to build a FOG server and put it on a separate drive from CentOS if possible. /sda is my main hard drive (1TB) and /sdc is my secondary 8TB drive. I’ve tried piecing multiple pages of information together to make this work, but nothing seems to be working. I apologize but I can’t have you remote in. Is there a step by step process to make this work? or do I have to install FOG and the OS one one physical drive regardless?

All,

Thanks for the replies. I just took over this project from someone else. I appreciate all of the comments and I’ll try to answer your questions. I would like to keep both drives. Right now, the way its setup is all of the images, the OS and the FOG server are on one drive. I know this is a bad setup and therefore I would like to migrate the images and the FOG server to the 8TB drive if I could. I just don’t know Linux that well to manage it. Thanks for any help you might provide.

Hello all! I’m new to using Linux and FOG both. I would like to learn how to add a secondary hard drive to my FOG server. I currently have a 1TB hard drive running Ubuntu and FOG and would like to add a 8TB drive. I also am considering moving all of my images to the 8TB drive along with FOG. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
