@Sebastian-Roth -465.7 GB

@dbrilliant I’ve added all the images properly, and will test them out. Thanks all for your assistance. :)

@Sebastian-Roth -Yes, it’s working now. Once it pulled the image, then it showed the proper size.

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks Sebastian,
I will give the next available 3050 I can get to, a thorough test to see if it will download the image. And if I receive any errors, I’ll let you know.

@Sebastian-Roth said in Question about pulling Fog images in from a backup drive.:

file /images/3050Corp/*

Oh boy, this doesn’t look good:

I copied over all the images, but tried one as a test, which was the most important one.
The path of where the img is:
/images/3050Corp
There are 4 files that were copied over
Then I chose Windows 7 as this is a Windows 7 64 bit image, then single disk-multiple partition which was the original settings, Partclone gzip (as these were formerly in Fog v1.2). Then the default for compression, partitions, etc… I I triple-checked the image path, and all was good. Any ideas?

Thanks George, I’ll give this a shot. I’ve already copied the images over to /images/… So now, it’ll be matching everything up.

Hi all,

I previously backed up all of my Fog image files to a USB drive. I have a few images that I have uploaded into Fog, but is it possible to import 5-6 images when I don’t have a csv file?

@dbrilliant -It’s all good. Working fantastic!

I rebuilt 18.04 from scratch, and got way farther. updated both 32 bit & 64 bit kernels in FOG. The fog install I allowed it to dictate DHCP, and I can register hosts. I have a Dell 790 Windows 7 64 bit image I’m testing now. Seems to be hung up on the image upload for the 790, where it says “Saving original disk/parts” for about 5-7 minutes, and finally progressed. I will test Windows 10 afterwards.

Thanks for your help.

It still won’t start, and the “journal” command doesn’t tell me exactly what the problem lies, but states that it errors with 0 and gives no leases. DHCP status gives configuration error,
topic 1- was from the copy & paste and are no part of the dump.
topic 2: I commented the host fogserver and fixed-address out just in case as well as the bracket on the line below.
topic3: subnet 10.0.29.0… all these are commented out, as I just quintuple checked.

Since none of these are working, I’m leaning a complete format of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with all universal repositories, NO DHCP download, and statically assign 192.168.2.1/24 as my eno1 (ethernet) adapter IP, and install updates ubuntu-desktop, and any basic updates, then install FOG. In FOG yes for DHCP on eno1 w/ no DNS, and let it do the rest and see if I can get lucky. The first runs w/ FOG on 16.04 & 18.04 failed miserably. Hopefully, I won’t need to edit files.

this reply is missing a lot of"#" symbols, where I commented lines out.

@Sebastian-Roth I tried copying your code to the bottom of the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file, and commented out all but what you had and left “authoritative;” enabled/uncommented and also changed the “next-server” to the FOG Server 192.168.2.1. DHCP no longer work, it’s failed at handing out IP addresses, and PXE doesn’t work. Any ideas?

@Sebastian-Roth Also, one more question, since I told FOG no to DHCP, do I see your sample doesn’t have “authoritative;” not added to it, do I leave that part out, or uncommented?

@Sebastian-Roth -I chose No for DHCP & DNS during the FOG install. Just doing the default install of FOG on both Ubuntu Server 18.04 & 16.04 w/o changing anything will not work at all.

@dbrilliant:
There are many “#” symbols missing from the output.
Only line is ;authorized
and
This is a very basic subnet declaration.

}
These are not commented out.
