thanks will take a look when back at work

is there anyway to add a similar idea to the ‘Quick Host Reg and inventory’ for when the machine is already registered to show what machine it is? at the moment it just shows host exists

just to double check, when I set up my FOG 0.33 test vm, all I need to do is Import the Host Inventory cvs from my FOG 0.32 box? Following the format provided from the Web Interface cvs ‘Import example’ sheet?

In regards to the Wiki, I believe you need to message the Dev Blackout. As you said this was done to stop the spammers.

As for open VZ/Proxmox VE I still haven’t got around to testing moving my FOG machine to a VM. Soon Hopefully.

yeah a Turnkey Linux appliance sounds like what you are asking, would be cool to have and help spread FOG

[quote=“TomB, post: 9070, member: 2667”]I too would like a disable ping system-wide and on a per-host basis. I am working in a small school environment and there isn’t a DNS server that can register the names so the pinging always times out.

Great program.[/quote]

[quote=“Matt Harding, post: 8683, member: 1207”]In the college I work at I’m a network technician in one department and network administrator and only technician in a smaller department, the latter of which has virtually no budget, so I have to scrimp and scrape what I can together and any server hardware is donated from the main department I work in. Consequently I came across fog about 4 months back. I previously used DRBL server with clonezilla to image the 34 machines for our Cisco academy network but switched to fog 0.32 before the summer. The no budget aspect means the most powerful machine I could have is a core i5 2500 quad core, 16GB ram, with 3x 1TB drives in RAID5 setup.

Software wise the host OS is Slackware 13.37 x64 and I’m running Virtualbox 4.1 to host 4 virtual PCs. I wasn’t really sure that Virtualbox was up to the job of running a fog server before the summer but after extensive testing under loads it can quite comfortably support my Ubuntu Server 10.04 / fog 0.32 setup.

I just thought I’d add my 2 pennies (2 cents as the Americans say) worth as I’ve not seen many people using Virtualbox to host things like this. I’m very comfortable relying on it though for the conditions I work in with this smaller network.

Anyone else using fog on Virtualbox?? I’d love some feedback on your experiences.[/quote]

this is good to know, i have thought about putting FOG in virtualbox on a server

hey, did you get anywhere with being able to quickly find a bad machine/cable

install webmin on your Ubuntu Server

[quote=“kirksec, post: 2469, member: 289”]Then i wonder what my issue could be, because my Value is none but yet the session didn’t start[/quote]

did you get this resolved?

so multicasting to two machines today the log had no timeouts.

so i multicast to 10 machines and the log would receive timeouts in it (multicast speed at 600mbs roughly)

any ideas on what i should be troubleshooting?

think i may have to try your 239. hack i received a
gzip: stdout: Broken pipe today and multicast has been real slow. also multicast log has lots of timeout lines even though it still multicasts @ 550 mb

cheers for the how to

[quote=“afmrick, post: 4316, member: 417”]We got it to work manually across or WAN by adding the following flag to [B]udp-sender[/B] command (above):
[code]–mcast-data-address 239.blah.blah.blah[/code]
The default [B]232[/B].blah.blah.blah is reserved/special apparently. Here’s a link that sort of breaks that down:

To fix it in FOG, I add that command line parameter to every [B]udp-sender[/B] command in [B]/opt/fog/service/common/lib/MulticastTask.class.php[/B] and restarted all the FOG services. Everything works just the way it should have now. However, adding this parameter to every udp-sender command in the file is just a “make-it-go” hack that I’ll have to clean up next week. This should really be an option to set within FOG. …Still, Yahoo!!!

Note: [B]blah.blah.blah[/B] is the last 3 octets of the FOG server’s IP address.[/quote]

have you managed to clean this up/sort out the issue?

Have a multicast running at the moment at 520mbs/min (not too great) to 25 hosts
the multicast log shows timeout errors, what does this mean and how can i resolve this and speed up deployment?

also when you install windows 7 how do you do it?

100mb boot partition + os partition or 1 single partition?

okay so you can upload but not deploy.

once you have sysprepped your Gold Vbox and uploaded it. just turn on the Virtual machine and let it run through sysprep see if that works.

p.s. don’t forget to take a snapshot before sysprep

[quote=“Leroy Brown, post: 5551, member: 1560”]Has anyone been able to successfully build a “gold” image on VirtualBox then lay it on a baremetal machine? I can create successfully from a machine, to Fog, and back down, but from VB up and then down to baremetal doesn’t work. I did make sure its set to IDE.[/quote]

yeah I build a ‘master/gold’ image in Virtualbox, I’m not the only one either

I prefer no desktop, currently using Ubuntu Server 10.04.04 with Webmin 1.590
