I would suggest not using Ubuntu 12.10. The first time I messed with FOG I had alot of trouble with 12.10 so I installed 12.04 instead and I haven’t had any problems since then.

You might, first, check the ip address in the default file in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg directory

Have you first created an image definition in “Image Management”? Once you have done that you can find your host in “Host Management” and associate that image with the host in the “Host Image” option. After that you can upload the actual image from the host.

We are set up this way because each of our campuses has a different ip range and different domains and it is easier for us to have multiple DHCP servers that have smaller scopes and configurations than one server with large scopes and configurations.

Yeah, then I have no idea what changed to make it start working. The scope options have been set since the beginning of installation and it didn’t work then, but it works now. Any ideas?

I’ve actually got it working now. I set the scope options 66 & 67, but that alone didn’t help. The last thing I did before it worked was edit the the my.conf file in mysql to bind-address=(server ip) instead of bind-address=127.0.0.1… I don’t know if that fixed it, but it works now. Thank you for all your help though

Our subnets can talk to each other. I was able to tftp the file boot file from our FOG server. I went ahead and unistalled the proxyDHCP service also. I am still not able to boot to it though

We use Windows servers for DHCP. Machines that are on the same subnet as FOG boot just fine, but other machines on different subnets don’t boot. The DHCP server that maintains the subnet that FOG is on has its scope options 66 & 67 set like they should and that entire subnet works. Our other subnets (maintained by different DHCP servers) don’t work. I set the scope options on another subnet’s DHCP server and that didn’t work. If you need some more details let me know

Okay. I did some more reading on the wiki and throughout the internet. I understand that in the proxyDHCP configurations you can insert a subnet mask that includes all of the subnets. I don’t particularly want to do this though. Just a thought, is there a way to just insert specific subnets? Our broadest subnet mask is 255.255.0.0

I am wondering if FOG can manage and service computers across subnet masks. I read the wiki and I understand that setting up the server to use proxyDHCP works on Ubuntu 10.04 and FOG .32. The only problem with that is that I’m using Ubuntu server 12.04LTS and FOG .32. I can get clients to boot to FOG that are on the same subnet, but machines on other subnets don’t boot. If it helps, we are ip addressing in the range of 172.16.x.x…

I had this when I first started imaging ssd’s. I figured out that you have do image it as a multi-partition, single disk
