Hi,
Is there a guide to management? I have to document what is in the server and how it works. It is true that in the wiki a lot of information but is very scattered. If there is not, I have to write one, that if, in Spanish:)

We use fog 0.30, and I upload/deploy linux images without problems. FOG uses Partimage to clone, and Partimage doesn’t support EXT4 partitions. I have uploaded/deployed a Centos with LVM, but FOG makes me a dd image.

[I]“Tried setting it to 0 and 1, still says SKIPPED when imaging finishes.”[/I]
Here the problem is that the fog script doesn’t find the variable $hostname or is empty, and when invokes the function changeHostname, the condition:
if [-n hostname]…

is false. And doesn’t makes the changes in the windows registry.

To be sure that the variable is sent, you can make this:
[LIST=1]
[]send a deploy task.
[]in the FOG server must be a file in /tftfboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX . XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX is the client MAC address.
[*]The file looks like this:
[/LIST]
[CODE]# Created by FOG Imaging System,
DEFAULT fog
LABEL fog
kernel fog/kernel/bzImage
append initrd=fog/images/init.gz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns=
type=down img=aula-bz-ciencias-mug002-docencia mc=yes port=63208 storageip=192.xxx.xxx.xxx storage=192.xxx.xxx.xxx:/images/ mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ftp=192.xxx.xxx.xxx web=192.xxx.xxx.xxx/fog/ osid=1 imgType=n shutdown= loglevel=4
fdrive= chkdsk=0 hostname=UXXXXXX[/CODE]

If the hostname variable value is null or empty, then the fog script skips the hostname change.

What version of FOG are you using?
Image partitions?
The error apears when the hostname variable not exists.

I don’t have any idea where is the problem. We deploy multisystem images, but windows XP and Ubuntu, and multipartition images and not dd images.

Can you upload an image from 250GB HD and deploy it on 360GB HD as multipartition image and not dd image?

When get you the error? When you upload the image or deploying it?

Yes. Linux are installed on an extended partitions, but we use a customized fog 0.30.
I don’t remember if FOG oficial version 0.30 support extended partitions.

Remember: FOG, until fog 0.32, uses partimage. And partimage don’t support ext4.

We clone mulitboot systems without problems (windows XP/(k)Ubuntu 10.xx to (k)Ubuntu 11.xx with ext3).

We have developed this feature, but we use fog 0.30.
The way it operates is simple:
1 º) When you upload the picture for the first time you save the partition scheme in the database, via web services.
2 º) for the next time, the web interface gives you the option to choose which partition you want to upload.
3 º) FOG script on the client, ask via web services if you need to upload the whole disk or just a partition. If the result of the query is running the fogpartinfo ALL, otherwise, it returns the device / dev / sdaX.
4 º) Once the upload process, the web service takes care of Post_Stage2.php to copy the image file of the partition in its place
5 º) Saving the partition scheme you know that images have the same schema, so you can share the image files of partitions.

In this way the code is responsible for making the task of renaming files, and avoid human error.

Example:
The source name image is aula-bz-cursos-A6A-rembo-mantenimiento. We can upload all partitions, sda1(NTFS) or sda5 (NTFS) and share it with aula-bz-cursos-A6A-rembo-gx620_produccion image

Thanks for the information.

Edit the /opt/fog-setup/fog_0.29/lib/ubuntu/config.sh script: Locate the line beginning with storageNodePackages (on line #24) and add these two packages within the quotes:
tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa
[/QUOTE]
I think that these packages are not in RH.

Good, I say: “We use Nagios”, I should say: “The university use, or Network Departament use Nagios to monitor the servers”. I don’t know if they use ‘Medusa’ to setup it. I ask them about it

To monitor servers we use Nagios

Hi,

I can see that use multiple TFTP servers is posible under Ubuntu URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Multiple_TFTP_servers’[/URL], but anybody uses them under Red Hat?
