I have noticed that there are warnings on both Replication Services.

I have also noticed that my images and snapins aren’t being fully replicated to my storage nodes. Any clues?

Sorry for the long post, but hopefully its useful.

Hi @Tom-Elliott,

Currently both nodes are in the same storage group as I want to replicate images and snapins from the Master to the Normal storage Node. I read through some documentation and it seems this should still happen if they are in different storage groups. Is this true?

If so, I believe this second issue should be fixed.

Hi @rodluz

Just wanted to confirm that this update has worked. Now deploying my images in <5mins.

Thank you for your help.

Hi @rodluz,

Apologies for the late reply to this. Could you please provide me with the init.xz and bzImage for this experimental kernal?

Hi all,

I have 2 issues:

• Firstly, I noticed that my main server was overheating. Using HTOP I saw that RSYSLOGD was using 80% of my CPU. I then used journalctl -r and saw the following logs:

  It seems something is wrong with the locations plugin. I have followed the tutorials. I have uninstalled for now and that has solved the issue.

• Secondly, I have 1 storage group and 2 nodes. 1 Master node and 1 storage node. The master node is at our main site and is deploying to the majority of machines. The storage node is on another site and is connected via a VPN. I have used the locations plugin to ensure all machines at their relevant site deploys via their relevant node ( ie. site 1 PC’s should be using the master node.). However it seems that FOG is still deploying based on the amount of available slots on each node (ie. sometimes site 2 tries to deploy over the VPN because site 2 is more busy than site 1).

Any suggestions or solutions?

I am currently capturing an image:

However the FOG dashboard says below:

I have refreshed and cleared cache however nothing has changed. I have seen this screen work before, but unsure whether it was deployment specifically or capturing.

@rodluz Absolutely, where can I find it?

@george1421 @rodluz
Out of curiosity, when will this hit the production FOS image? Be handy to not need to purchase Dell Ethernet Adapters.

@rodluz Success!

As we know the pre-release kernel did not work:

However the experimental OEM driver did work:

Let me know if you need any further tests

@olivier-bonnici This kernel works:

Can you please describe what has changed so that @rodluz can make changes for next release?

@rodluz Unfortunately still no better:

@olivier-bonnici I cannot test with link below as you have not allowed me access.

@olivier-bonnici That link does not work for me. Can you please provide it another way (Google Drive open link or GIT etc.)?

@olivier-bonnici Could you please provide this image, as it will help make my life easier. Also could you provide it to the devs so they can integrate it into FOS?

@CwillQCA I also image multiple models of Dell machines using FOG. A couple of things to check:

• Dell USB Adapters support MAC passthrough, but some Dell machines require this to be enabled in BIOS.
• In my experience, machines with Secure Boot turned off and Bitlocker disabled work the best. Try decrypting the harddrive / disable secure boot (if not already done).
• There are USB C Dell Ethernet Adapters also, those may work better.
• It doesn’t make sense that FOG worked without Option 66 and 67 being setup, but presumably you are say it is setup on the router (just not firewall?). Double check that both your router and DHCP server (whether this is FOG server or something else) is setup appropriately.
• May be worth getting one of the Lenovo machines and checking what the ipxe menu (image above) spits out different.

It says that DHCP fails, so I would assume it is something to do with the DHCP server or network setup. I am not overly experienced in FOG but hopefully my thoughts have helped.

@rodluz Unfortunately this changes nothing. I received the “eee unchanged” message, which I assume the Realtek Environmental Ethernet policies are already off.

Any other thoughts?

@Tom-Elliott Yes correct, if its not to do with R8169, then I am unsure what is going on.

@rodluz I have tried this kernel in debug mode and below is the results. Still unsuccessful:

I tested again on 5.15.68 released October 9, 2022, and back to working. Same experience on earlier kernels:

Same machine, same network connection, same FOG Server version. It is just FOS version from what I can tell.

Hi all,

I believe I have figured out this issue, however it is unideal. I seems that between Kernel 5.15.68 and Kernel 5.15.93 there must have been some update to Realtek Driver R8169. As such, this driver now has degraded performance on my Dell G15 5510 machines.

I have also tested a machine with a intel NIC, which runs the e1000e driver in the FOG-OS environment. It works beautifully.

For other issues with similar issues out there, I would suggest for you to consider these 2 steps to resolve this issue:

• You can purchase PXE enabled USB to Ethernet adapters. Each brand of laptops will have their specified version that it allows use of (Dell’s is here: https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-adapter-usb-30-to-ethernet-pxe-boot/apd/492-11726/pc-accessories). I have tested this and it works beautifully, however would get costly above a certain amount.
• You can also roll you own Linux Kernel with your own selected drivers (ie. using R8168 instead of R8169). I also did this and it is fairly simple, but… in my case the time-cost benefit was not up to par.

Also just to put it out there, FOG debug mode is very very useful and can be found in the advanced tasks menu:

Let me know if there are any follow up questions out there.

Hi all,

New information. When I load the client into FOS debug mode and run iperf3, the client device can only recieve around 50Mbps but can send at 1GBe.

Thoughts:

• Given this only happens in FOS, I dare say one of the drivers are not behaving.
• The machines I am imaging are Dell Laptops G15 5510. These have Realtek ethernet controllers. I have read these are troublesome, is there any work arounds.
• I have tried updating the kernels to the latest dev kernels via the FOG Web UI, but this does not seem to help.

I would appreciate any help here.

Hi mwestaph,

I am also new here but I believe I can take a crack at your image.
Snapins I feel are great, they automatically install after your machine is imaged. The other tool you would want to consider here are the “Groups” feature. While this isn’t a traditional group where new hosts inherit group settings, its a good way to apply settings on mass.

Here is my basic setup:
I have 2 images and 6 groups. I then onboard all of the client machines / hosts and assign them to the appropriate group. In the group setup, I then choose the correct image and snapins for that group. This applies these settings to all associated hosts (ie. All current hosts that are associated with this groups now have the same settings.)
The only downside currently is if you need to assign a new host machine to this group, you need to re-apply the image and snapin settings for the group to apply it appropriately to this machine.

Let me know if this helps and if there is anyone more experienced out there feel free to tell me if I am wrong.
