Is there logging for when a file is deleted? I have guys who like to delete images and I am trying to track down the culprit. Any help would be appreciated.

@george1421 I am on dnsmasq 2.76 and my ltsp.conf file is identical to what you posted.
All of my Dell’s are working 100% now. I am not sure why they did not initially, but they seem to be fine now. I will capture the pcap today with the Posiflex. Thanks!

So I have been testing this all morning with different machines. Its seems to be working on my Dell’s just fine but inconsistently on my Posiflex units. I have only been able to successfully image one using UEFI.

I have another machine, this is a Posiflex XT3815 (its all in one Point of Sale computer). It attempted to register using the UEFI stack but once we hit enter to register its going into a menu loop where it will countdown 3 seconds on host registration but wont except any input until it times out.

Last night I followed this guide https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8726/advanced-dnsmasq-techniques to updating dnsmasq to support UEFI. Great guide!!!

I have run into a little quirk with this set up and I am wondering if there is already a fix in place or am i missing something.

On a new machine, its a Dell Optiplex 7050. I booted with UEFI IPv4 to try and register the machine. It timed out as no boot device available. In wireshark, Fog sent out the DHCP offer but that was the only communication. Going further, I used legacy boot PXE and was able to register the machine. Next, I selected deploy on my image and booted the machine with UEFI IPv4. This time it booted successfully and imaged.

So I am trying to figure out why it would not register initially but once the client was already registered UEFI IPv4 would work fine.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated and thanks for all your work!

@george1421 Understood, I didn’t read that document thoroughly enough. I will recommend to our purchasing department to look at the hardware raid controllers. I am sure its a cost decision but more likely its that they don’t know any better. Thanks!

@george1421 Any chance we might see support for this in the future then? Would save me a lot of time!

@george1421 said in Dell Poweredge R330 with PERC S130 Raid Controller:

I looked at that guide and got into debug with mdraid=true on. looking at /proc/mdstat, there is no md126 present or anything else there for that matter. The drives that show up are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb/ .

Looking for a little help with capturing/deploying an image on a Dell R330 with a PERC s130 RAID controller. I am thinking maybe its a driver issue for the RAID controller. The configuration is RAID1 and when the image is captured the only partition that is seen is /dev/sda1. However there should be multiple partitions on the image. When deployed, the RAID is broken on /dev/sda and will not boot, so it defaults to the RAIDed disk /dev/sdb and boots to that (which is unimaged, so its the original OOBE os). We have imaged other Poweredge machines with PERC RAID controllers and they have worked fine. However, the two machines I have tried with the s130 have both failed.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

@sebastian-roth
Updated to working this morning. I’ll post an update after we get a few machines imaging. Thanks again for your help.

@sebastian-roth

I don’t have those hosts in there anymore. I had to remove them one by one to be able to image the next one. I can try and duplicate the issue again on Monday.

This seems to be happening everytime now. My tech is imaging 5 machines (same model as above) and I have to clear the previous host, so he can register the next host.

@sebastian-roth
It won’t boot to the registration splash screen. The machine connects to the server but act’s as if its already a host with no task scheduled and goes on to boot from the hard drive.

Imaging a number of machines today, Posiflex 3815 is the specific computer model. After I imaged the first two machines, the third machine would not load FOG to register the host. I thought maybe I had already created the host, but that was not the case. The first machine i imaged had a MAC of 00:19:17:01:f3:33. The third machine has a MAC of 00:19:17:01:f3:41. After removing the first machines HOST in fog, the third machine would load FOG normally. I then imaged a fourth machine with no problem, MAC of 00:19:17:01:f3:4d. However, the fifth machine I imaged would not load FOG again. The fifth machine has a MAC of 00:19:17:01:f3:04. Only when I removed the HOST of the third and fourth machine would the fifth machine load.

I considered that maybe I had too many machines imaging at once but I have 3 nodes and the potential to image 30 machines at once. I only had one other machine imaging at this time. I do have an issue where every few weeks I have to clear out the ‘tasks’ table in the sql database. However I only have two stuck right now with 28 slots available, at the time of writing. This issue popped up about an hour ago, but I had 27 slots available then as I was imaging one machine already.

So my first thought is maybe FOG is only seeing the first 5 groupings of the MAC and if that’s the case its random because my fourth machine would have had an issue as well. Second is maybe its just a network thing since this is the first time I have seen it and we image a lot of machines.

Any thoughts or assistance in where I might look for more information is appreciated. Thanks!

@sebastian-roth No problem with disk space. I commented out the sql database backup and the report backup and ran the script with no problems. So its backing up the snapins and images fine. This was working previously. I have a scheduled task that runs the script on the first Saturday of the month I just updated to trunk last week.

Fogbackup.sh task failed this weekend with an error on the sql export.

‘Could not create/download sql backup file.’

I was able to successfully export the sql database from the web GUI and also manually in MySql. I am not sure what would be causing the hangup within the script though. I am on trunk.

@Wayne-Workman Good point. Thanks for your help

@Wayne-Workman Thanks! Can you tell me, if I change the default ftp port in the web gui, is there anywhere else I need to change it?
