Has this been sorted, We’re running 1.3.4 and I’m getting an error about chainloading failed, FOG has been working fine for around 2 years on version 1.3.4 and now stopped working.

@sebastian-roth
I’m currently creating a new FOG server as a test to see if it does the same with that, if it works fine, I’ll re-install FOG on the old server, however, as it’s a school, and staff are teaching using the PC’s that have been imaged with FOG, If I was to re-install FOG would it affect the machines if the client (the FOG Service) can’t talk to the server, IE, it’s not going to reboot or disconnect from the domain or anything?

Thanks,

Dan

FOG server OS is Ubuntu 14.4 I think (Can’t remember off the top of my head).

FOG version is 1.3.4

Nothing at all has changed on the network, or the FOG server, so it’s odd why it’s started bringing up the chain loading message.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi,
FOG has stopped working properly, machines can’t boot up, and go past the PXE boot stage, it tries to load the FOG screen (I’ve got the hidden menu enabled, so there’s no GUI), but then says

Could not boot: Connection reset (Http://ipxe.org/0f0a6039)
Chainloading failed, hit ‘s’ for the iPXE shell; reboot in 10 seconds_.

Any ideas, I’ve never had this before, I’ve also rebooted the FOG server to see if it makes any difference.

Please help.

Hello,

That’s worked great.

Just another question, is it possible to transfer the images from the ‘OLD’ FOG server, to the new one, is it just a case of copying the images inside the folder that contains the images, and then paste them back to the new FOG server, and then changing the names to match the new image names etc?

Thanks,

Dan

@george1421
Am I going to lose everything, Image/Host wise? I’ve got machines that have been images from FOG.

Thanks,

Hello,

OLD IP: 10.31.97.124
Current, same IP: which I’ve changed back is the same as the above: 10.31.97.124

I know things will break if the IP is changed, that’s why I’ve changed it back from the IP that the machine was allocated dynamically, back to the static IP, as above.

I can access the dashboard etc, and load the images up on the screen, just whenever I try to download, or capture an image, it isn’t picking up the server, even though it sort of is as it has the IP of the server on the PXE boot screen.

Thanks,

Dan

FOG version: 1.3.4
Server OS version: 14.04 LTS

What’s the distribution of Linux?

Same for the distribution server, what’s that?

I’ve set the IP for the 066 - Boot Server Host Name: (IP of FOG Server)
I’ve also set the IP for the 067 - Bootfile Name: undionly.kpxe

Basically, the machine I was using was really slow at downloading images, and was taking around 1hr to download a small image, where on the old FOG server, it only took around 10 minutes per machine, it’s even slow when there’s only one machine downloading the image.

I swapped the HDD over, it’s exactly the same machine, just with a new NIC, but I know that one works fine, as that was my ‘old’ fog server (I say old, as i was running out of space, so decided to upgrade the HDD, and set up FOG again).

I got it all set back up again, it just takes ages to download the images etc, so swapped the machine (as I’ve said above), this is now where I face the issue of:

The IP changed on the FOG Server, even though the HDD was just swapped, so I set it back to manual on the new machine, and then it loaded the dashboard up on my Windows Machine, and this is now where it won’t allow me to PXE boot to FOG.

Thanks,

Dan

Hello,

I’m getting an error on my machines when I try to boot to FOG, it says

'Received DHCP answer on interface net0
tftp://(IP ADDRESS)/default.ipxe…0%

It then says connection timeout after a few minutes, I swapped the HDD into another machine as i think there’s an issue with the NIC in the other machine, It boots FOG up fine etc. At first, the IP Address was set back to DHCP instead of Static (manual). I’ve set it back to what it was set as on the old machine, and FOG allows me to connect to the server etc, it is working fine, however, it just won’t boot up.

Any one have any ideas what to do?

Thanks,

Dan

Hello,

Please can someone give me some assistance, I’ve moved my FOG server to another machine, as the storage ran out, so I’ve installed a 2TB drive and re-installed FOG, copied everything across, and mirrored the old ‘server’.

I’ve downloaded an image, sorted the image out, and sysprepped it, and then re-uploaded it… I don’t have a clue where it’s uploaded to, as when I go to ‘Computer’, then the ‘images’ folder, nothing is there apart from two folders called ‘dev’ and ‘Postdownloadscripts’.

It keeps downloading the old image for some reason back onto the machine, when I’m clicking on deploy.

Can anyone help me, please.

Even if I create a new image with a completely different name, it’s not showing up under the ‘images’ folder, surely it’s supposed to, as this is what happened on the old one.

Thanks,

Dan

Thanks, Tom, that’s worked, I knew there was something extra to do with the encryption data that I needed to do, but couldn’t remember.

I’m having issues where my new FOG server isn’t finding the security token, I’ve installed the FOG Service via the ‘SmartInstaller’, I’ve entered the FOG server’s IP Address, restarted the machine, it’s brought up the FOG.txt file, located in the C:\ drive.

When I open that up, and scroll down to the bottom, I can see there’s an error saying:

Any idea’s on what to do, I’ve got two FOG server’s, one the current server, and the IP above, is the new server, I’m currently migrating everything across to the new one, as I’ve ran out of storage space, it looks too complicated to add another drive, so thought it’d be easier to re-create the FOG server and add the images etc to the new server.

Thanks in advanced.

Dan

Hello,

I’m wondering if anyone can help me, I’m running out of storage on my FOG server, I’m wanting to add an extra drive, is there an easy way to do this, or is it too difficult to do?

Ideally, I just want to add the extra drive, and then keep the other system drive that I’ve got FOG installed on, rather than having to re-install everything again.

Thanks,

Dan

Yes, that’s correct. Thank you so much!!

Dan

Hello,

Is it possible to delete old images via the FOG server? I’ve got a few images on there, and currently have 15% free space left, I’m going to be deploying a large software package within my image, and will imagine that it will use some more space up on the server as the image will be large.

Thanks,

Dan

Hello,

I’ve tried that, they fail at the same point, I know that the image is 100% working, as whenever I do two, they both work. They’re all in the same location, it’s one classroom, all within the same switch too.

Please help

Thanks,

Dan

Sorry, meant to put, that I’ve changed the Max clients to 90.

Thanks,

Dan

Hello,

It is, however, I’ve uploaded my image to the FOG server which has been sysprepped, and I’m downloading the image to 20 machines, and it keeps failing at the starting services part after it’s downloaded the image, It works if I do it one at a time, but this isn’t really what I’m wanting, I know that the sys prep and everthing works as it works if I download the image one at a time. but then keeps failing after any more than two.

Please help, I’ve got 3 days to get X90 machines re-imaged, as the students come back on Monday…

Thanks,

Dan
