also note that you shouldn’t upgrade the virtual hardware of your vms as you will not be able to edit there settings as you need the vshpere web client (paid)

Nice Tom, will need to update my vm and test. Can see you have been busy, think I’m on r923

good read for those interested on raid lvls [url]http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/352280-obr10-vs-raid6-metrics[/url]

Tom,

do you mind posting your 3.11 kernel?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 14297, member: 7271”]I’ve got a new kernel based on the core config for 3.10.7

I don’t have a lot of hardware to test on, so please test.

It can be downloaded from:

[url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage[/url]
OR
wget --no-check-certificate [url]http://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage[/url][/quote]

I can test this monday, thanks

I need to build a .33 VM and add in your edits

‘I’m nobody’ don’t say that, your contributing

[quote=“Lethal Kebab, post: 12910, member: 1498”]This might sound silly, however, i think fog needs a windows client that can be installed on the admins computer and used to control fog.

i know there is a web ui and that is cross platform etc, but there needs to be more information added to the ui and it needs to look the part.[/quote]

I disagree on the need for an Admin Control Client for Windows, but what do you feel is missing from the web ui??

spam is back

I would just like to add that Virtualbox is great tool and I have had it working with for for a very long time as both servers and images

[quote=“Wolfer201, post: 12377, member: 1320”]AFAIK fog cannot resize images with multiple partitions[/quote]

it sure can, but only if it is the default windows 7 install (two partitions, 100mb + rest of disk for )

I have been using the default windows 7 install with single partiton re-sizable option in the fog web ui for a very long time. with a 100gb hd for the master image I have had it successfully deploying to 250gb, 500gb etc

edit: above setup is with virtualbox and FOG 0.32

[quote=“x23piracy, post: 12383, member: 3982”]Hi,

nice thread very interesting, @Lee do you have it working now?
Can you post a little overview of what u’ve done please?

Greetz X23[/quote]

yes this would be very useful if you could share an overview, maybe if you could post it in the tutorial section?

[LEFT]When Kyle fully explains this you will see it is an amazing and complete setup!![/LEFT]

[LEFT]Have been using it for quite a while now, cheers buddy!![/LEFT]

thanks for this, will test it out at work and check on all our devices

windows should be picking up the name from its hostname as defined in FOG. (if you have the feature enabled)

if you want to change the name, change it in FOG and the pc will auto change its name.

2. or you can disable this auto-naming feature, and login to the pc and change it that way. without it reverting back to what it is named in FOG

[quote=“mllinang, post: 11391, member: 3541”]this was a very good tutorial… thanks for the Author…

My only concern now is that even if i change the hostname, restarted the machine and after logging in back it returns to the original hostname… what to do?[/quote]
you need to change hostname via FOG web gui or disable fog renaming via FOG web ui

[quote=“mllinang, post: 11356, member: 3541”]hi Andyroo54

when i boot a vm , the Fog Computer Cloning Solution ( to peform Registration and Inventory) just appears and booting will be directed to HDD. i test on a physical machine booting nic on FOG and it was fine.

Note that my Fog Server is also a VM (from Vsphere).

I created also vmware_user with no password but still the same.

What could be the solution?[/quote]

hi as this is not a question regarding this tutorial, can you start a new thread in the help section to keep this thread on track.

thanks

this is damn cool, would be great to see this included

cant use description field, but why didn’t I think of the IP field haha thanks

Yes I must add whilst I had a good run with multicasting I now prefer to unicast.
