hosts settings needs to be along the lines of the below (basically the full file path, i cant remember of the top of my head)
/fog/kernel/hp6200
edit: see the last picture in the link i sent

Of course it should be automatic, but you should atleast be able to configure it and set when you want the backups to be shedualed etc
I run the fog backup script manually to a windows share atm

yes this is what I was going to post ^ also check out this [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/windows-7-deployment-fog-sad2-driver-tool.380/#post-1641[/url]
great article, I myself have been going through similar process based on this guide [URL=‘http://blog.ibuddy.info/index.php/2011/05/fog-29-my-windows-7-guide-3264-bit-docv1/’]http://blog.ibuddy.info/index.php/2011/05/fog-29-my-windows-7-guide-3264-bit-docv1/ [/URL](just what you have done but with VirtualBox) my next stage was to look into the automation of drivers, which you have covered.
Thanks for sharing will definitely help me and others, a few of my new machines network cards are not detected by Win 7 so cannot auto join domain until I manually installed the driver
UPDATE: just implemented this into a test image, and it works great, now it will install missing NIC driver and allow fog to continue with AD joining. Cheers
yes you need to edit both of the above paths and add your mysql password to these two files.
/var/www/fog/commons/config.php and /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php.
[quote=“adepo331, post: 1576, member: 431”]Yes!I solved the problem. It was a database issue. I had to create a new FOG user and password in MySQL, then granted it root privileges over FOG Database. So, that was it. I posted my solution in one of the threads here.[/quote]
[URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/slow-multicast.217/’]yes that is how I solved my issue http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/slow-multicast.217/[/URL]
you are most likely using 2.6.39.1 that was the default kernel.
Hope the below article helps,
sounds like the network guys, do not have the correct config on the switches, I can multicast accross vlans just fine
A move to 0.32 (0.33 is to be released soon I believe) is a must for Windows 7 deployment, no more fogprep and has a brand new web GUI over 0.28
I can’t comment on exactly what you want bit I have windows 7 both 32 and 64 images that I can deploy, auto renames, adds itself to the domain etc
And so far the latest kernel 3.2.4 (I think). Works on all 8 of my different desktop/laptops
Are these the small slim HPs? If so we have these and I can deploy to them from the box no settings changed.
Running 0.32, kernel 3.2.4. My master image was built in virtual box using win 7 32/64 sysprep /generalize
I did have trouble uploading from these machines
Thanks, I will look into and test this.
So I would rebuild my ubuntu server (same IP), install fog and copy the WWW folder and mysql back. Thats it? Could I do that if I wanted to upgrade to ubuntu server 12.04 in the future or is a fresh install always recommend?
Thanks
no, mine is similar. Hopefully there is a solution to this in future releases
I know there is the backup script but was thinking it would be great to have some sort of backup feature built into the web interface where you can backup separately or all together images, MYSQL Data, snapins, host lists, ad settings, etc point it to save to a network share and ability to restore it
What is the best way to back up my FOG Server, how do you back up yours?
I have read somewhere about a backup script?
All I do at the moment is have an up to date Export list of all hosts so i can re-add that if i have to rebuild the FOG server in the event of a disaster.
I use Virtualbox for my image building (and keep a copy on another HD) so I do not backup my uploaded image from FOG.
sounds like you just need to roll back to the previous kernel that you were using?
[quote=“Mohammad Hammoodi, post: 1419, member: 482”]I was using a Dell OptiPlex 755 with 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Ubuntu 11.10.
The FOG server is connected to a switch which is connected in turn to the main switch of the company, the routing and switching works fine.
All the servers have different names.
All the computers are on when I push out the multi-cast request.
I haven’t tried adding all the hosts, because it’s a production line, where we deploy an image with our software installed on it let’s say every two hours to a new computer of OptiPlex790, unless we have a heavy production, then it’s more than one at a time.
The server became very slow after I installed the updates of Ubuntu the first week of February 2012.
I had to migrate to a new computer (assembled in house), with 4GB RAM and 1TB HDD.
Ping works fine from and to the fog server.
I just finished migration to the new server and did the chainloading.
Now a new thing came up with the new server, when I used the Kernel that came with fog .32 it took 15 minutes to deploy an image to a new computer, but after I update the kernel to [FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#333333]Kernel - 3.2.4 Core, now it’s taking 40 minutes to do the same image!!![/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#333333]Any suggestions to make it faster, please advise.[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#333333]Thanks in advance[/COLOR][/FONT][/quote]
I forgot to mention that when I deleted the group/hosts (before stopping its multicast session …I know, a dumb move indeed) they disappeared from Tasks Tab, I restarted the server and still no joy the clients were still booting the bzimage even though there were no tasks visable let alone the fact they were no longer in the FOG Host list.
[quote=“Catsrules, post: 1382, member: 296”]If it ever happens again, it should be under the tasks tab then under Active Multicast Tasks, then you will see a task in the list that you can delete. that will stop the computer from picking up the task.
BTW if you want to stop a normal task it will be under the task menu then Active task.[/quote]
Solved,
I manually entered the mac address of the 9 hosts (using previous Inventory Report), started a multicast then stopped it.
Machines now cleared from the job que
how do you force multicasting to stop??
I deleted the group before stopping the multicast, want to re-register the host and they start downloading the kernel ready for multicasting??
