moving to a new network and i am trying to get ideas/find the best solution around this.
the new network will be HP and will be using distributed trunking, which i have been told does not support multicast routing. Therefore I will not be able to multicast across vlans. It would seem I need a nic for each vlan on my FOG Box is this possible?
or is it possible to have the Nic Vlan tagged so all vlans point to the fog box?
seems like you haven’t stopped your WDS Service on your windows box
looks good, articles/tutorials should be posted here [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/forums/tutorials.13/’]http://fogproject.org/forum/forums/tutorials.13/ ;)[/URL]
haha must have been good enough then, so all i have to change is [COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#dd0000]–half-duplex [COLOR=#000000]to[/COLOR] --full-duplex [COLOR=#000000]?[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
i may just give that a test, cheers
How much better does multicast perform after this change?
[quote=“Catsrules, post: 1687, member: 296”]I will second that. :)[/quote]
I will third that
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
