    • RE: Failed fog backup attempt still haunts

      The systems would come back with an error. Unfortunately I didn’t document what it was…I assumed the problem was that I removed the original images. The server only has 1tb of space and I still have several computers I want to have imaged before the inevitable happens.

    • Failed fog backup attempt still haunts

      My fog server was working great except I had a need for more space. I created a share and move the files to another server along with a dump of the sql db…here where things go wrong.
      I deleted the image files to clear space and then set a task to image my domain servers again. That process must have caused some sort of corruption in the database ( I’m guessing wildly here)
      after some thought I deleted the databases and decided to start over then tried it again. The corruption was still there. So I decided to do an reinstall of fog…I did some other stuff also but it is …in a fog… now (sorry I couldn’t help myself). Anyway I follow the instructions these instructions:
      #Uninstall FOG

      #remove service
      sudo rm /etc/init.d/FOGImageReplicator
      sudo rm /etc/init.d/FOGMulticastManager
      sudo rm /etc/init.d/FOGScheduler

      #delete fog database
      sudo mysql
      #(or ‘sudo mysql -p’ if you set a root password for mysql)
      drop database fog;
      quit

      #Remove files
      sudo rm -rf /var/www/fog
      sudo rm -rf /opt/fog
      sudo rm -rf /tftpboot
      sudo rm -rf /images

      #delete fog system user
      sudo userdel fog

      rebooted the server and reinstalled fog thinking that I would just re-register the computers and connect them to the new images.

      What is happening is now the computers are transmitting the images to the fog server, but they are not registed.
      I suspect there is something that is written on the computers to do this.

      Thanks for reading,

      Damian

    • RE: ISO Tutorial: How to set fog to overwrite images

      ahhhh it is a mirrored drive. That brings me to other questions. How do I select one of the drives? On my new server (windows 2012) I have a raid 5 (3 drives)…

      Thanks for the information 🙂

    • RE: ISO Tutorial: How to set fog to overwrite images

      Thanks for pointing that out to me. I assumed since it was the same computers I’ve imaged before and the space was not a problem then and now it seems to be a problem …and when I looked at the image folders and saw:

      07/10/2013 11:45 PM 512 d2.mbr
      07/10/2013 11:45 PM 180,318,726,114 d1p1.img
      07/11/2013 04:57 AM 180,318,738,292 d2p1.img
      07/10/2013 04:55 PM 512 d1.mbr

      Did I somehow make two images? I’ll check the wiki to see what is going on. Thanks for setting me on the right path.

    • ISO Tutorial: How to set fog to overwrite images

      Due to space limitations I would like to set my fog to overwrite the client image every I upload it on the server.

    • Imaging a RAID

      Good Morning All,
      I’ve been using FOG for a few months now and have things working pretty good. Thanks for the support here on the forums. I’m back to see if there is an issue with imaging a RAID drive. I looked around the WIKI but nothing stands out about the subject. I’ve got and eval of win 2012 I’m setting up on a Raid5. The inventory goes ok but when I try to image it I get unable to move /images/dev/mac address to /images/name-of-image.

      Has anyone successfully imaged a Raid drive with a hardware controller?

      Thanks,

      Thanks for the response Kelly,
      I don’t understand how fog is going to know to write the images to the new drive.

      These are notes from Chuck Syperski’s video at [media=youtube]69gJvHjTKNQ[/media]

      add new hard drive for storage

      find out device name
      [CODE]#sudo dmesg[/CODE]
      or
      [CODE]#sudo fdisk -l[/CODE]

      partition disk my on /dev/sdb

      [CODE] #sudo rsync -av = =progress /imagesOld/ /images[/CODE]
      change permissions

      auto mount the new hard drive use UUID

      [CODE] #sudo vlm /etc/fstab[/CODE]
      UUID=<UUID_of_you_nw_partition> /images ext4 errors=remount=ro 0 1
      reboot

      I’m just journaling this now as I dont have access to my server just yet. I’m not 100% certain every thing is correct

    • Mulitple drives/storage

      I have 4 external drives I can switch out via a USB connector.
      I would like to use them as a storage for my images. For example:
      1st for week 1 images
      2nd for week 2 images
      3rd for week 3 images
      4th for week 4 images
      I would like to attach an external drive and have that week’s images saved to the drive.
