When I have experienced the issue in the past I have always found that the phantom hosts added to new groups were only the most recent hosts that were registered. Whether that be 2 hosts or 5 phantoms

Running the SQL maintenance commands from the wiki (as mentioned I think updates also helped) seemed to resolve

Hi,

you will need to use GIT to get to RC builds, see link below. Only final builds are published to sourceforge

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk#Git

@Fernando-Gietz just got around to checking this, and yes all working with 1.4.0-RC-14

Just set this up, thanks

@falko

SOLVED!!

After trying to download the client I now have the FOG Server set up after getting https://github-cloud.s3.amazonaws.com unblocked by our provider LGFL (along with the below four links from yesterday)

Thanks all

@irishfoguser

no, when you upgrade to git trunk you will be on the master branch which is at 1.3.5

to get to 1.4.0 RC1 you would have to checkout the dev-branch

git checkout dev-branch
cd bin
./installfog.sh

Thanks @george1421 I wanted to know if anyone had them and was able to image with FOG. I don’t see it being an issue but we won’t get the test unit until after this coming week

I actually find it relatively fast and simple to spin up a new FOG server.

Use the Turnkey Linux LAMP stack found here. (A headless Debian 8 base, with pre-installed support tools; Webmin, Adminer database management web app, Web based command line terminal)

My quick install notes may be of use for someone

EDIT: It may be worth speaking to the team at TurnkeyLinux.org

when I said we I meant as in my office lol, but that’s great thanks. I shall take a look at this in the week

@Wayne-Workman said in Replicating drivers across FOG servers:

Two approaches here.

Create a fake image and make its path /images/drivers and setup the fake image so it’s shared with the other servers via groups or whatever way you have the images set up.

This is the option we use. You should also be able to set this “fake image” to disable so someone won’t try to deploy it, but enable replication so the drivers will be sent to the remote fog/storage nodes.

I also use this method

have the same error, using 7731

The Installation commands on https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=SVN
for CentOS/Fedora/RHEL & Debian/Ubuntu are around the wrong way

@Wayne-Workman Not having made new groups in a while I noticed last week I was having the same issue.

Followed the Database Maintenance Commands and issue resolved

@Wayne-Workman I had to get https://github-production-release-asset-2e65be.s3.amazonaws.com unblocked by our service provider to download the client. that was the part causing the failure.

The same will most likely hold true for anybody else in the UK on the London Grid For Learning Network

@Wayne-Workman It does

Clearly I have lost my ability to read properly…

the below message was even in red on the dell site
“NOTE: This CAB will not install correctly unless you are including the KMDF 1.11 update in your deployment process/image. Click HERE for details.”

After installing https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2685811 & https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2685813 this is now working.

Apologies & thanks for the responses

Hi,

Is it possible to display the Max number of clients for each storage node in the list on the Storage Management page. As you can see below I only have two nodes myself (for now) however due to possible expansion over the next few years I can see it being useful to be able to glance at this page and see what each node is set to.

Thanks

@lebrun78 it is possible to have only the assigned image in the deployment list via the menu. Can’t recall what setting it is right now.
EDIT: as George said item in FOG Settings under FOG Boot Settings will allow you to display the images as a list or not.

Also how are your students able to access it, a username and password is needed to access the menu

Would it be possible to create groups for snapins,

1. this would help to keep organised
2. and then be able to attach that snapin group to a host or host group?
