I was wondering if there was a way to display where an image is being pulled from while it is being downloaded. I think it would be handy to know where the image is coming from in case you have many fog servers/Storage nodes at a single site like we do. Maybe the information could be displayed on one of these two screens?

@Wayne-Workman In my test envirement I am running the RC versions on Ubuntu 16.x. When I setup the new servers they will all be fresh installs as well.

White listing the Fog server and Storage Nodes fixed the problem. Everything is installing correctly now. Thank you so much!!!

The only thing I am noticing now is that the time stamps on my Replicator Logs are incorrect. Is that an easy fix?

Thanks,

The change worked great, Thank you!!!

@Tom-Elliott said in Want to skip "Booting... (Press Escape to access the menu)":

mysql -u root
drop database fog;
exit
exit

All fixed, Thanks so much!

The issue has been fixed. Our content filter was blocking it. idk how but it was only on that one server. go figure. lol

@george1421 Thank you very much! I was able to modify the script to fit our setup. Everything is working smoothly now.

Thanks again!

@Tom-Elliott All good! Thank you and keep up the awesome work!

@Tom-Elliott That took care of the replication issue. The folder itself doesn’t vanish. here is the log from my attempt yesterday. “Win11_25H2_Smart26” is the image and TVNE-Fog-Test is the site B fog node.

@Tom-Elliott I assigned an image to site B and it starts to replicate but then after a time it will stop coping and the folder will disappear from the /images directory on the storage node. Then once the replication service kicks off again it starts all over again. I didn’t notice this before because I manually ran rsync to mirror what was in the images directory on the main fog server. I have to remote site B set to throttle at 200mb since I don’t want to saturate the pipe.

@Tom-Elliott Option 1 and doing a reboot of the site B node has taken care of the issue. Thanks for your awesomness!

I have come across another problem though. Would you like a new thread started or just add it here?

When I deploy the image it will show the correct storage node under tasks up until the point of actual deployment, then it switches back to the default location of the Main Fog Server.

@Tom-Elliott My Apologies, when I say site, I’m referring to the location where my fog VMs are at, not what is within the Fog WebGUI.

Open the host, go to its Location tab. Is it set to the Site B location?
All 31 Computers are set to “Site B”

Open that location. Which storage group and which storage node does it show?
The Storage Group is “SiteB” and the Storage Node is “SiteB-Test”

Is the image listed in the Site B storage group (Image > Storage Groups tab)?
The Image is associated with “Site A” and “Site B”

Fog 1.6.0.14
OS: Ubuntu 24.04
Hardware: VMs

I have several locations that I am currently testing the latest release of Fog 1.6.0.14. I have the location plugin on, and by sites setup with corresponding Storage Groups and Storage Nodes. The Main Fog Server with DB is at Site A, A storage node is set to master at Site B. Everything is replicated but when deploying an Image at site B, it will always pull from Site A, unless the Image has its “Image Primary Storage Group” changed to Site B from Site A. After making this change if I deploy at site A then the Image will pull from site B instead of Site A. The images needed to be accessible from all sites at all times but pull from the specific location rather than across our uplink.

@Tom-Elliott That did not have an impact. still seeing ${serial} on the host list. If it helps I am also seeing at the bottom of my host management page

${pingstatus} ${host_name} ${deployed} ${image_name} ${serial}

This is what is shown when I enable the hook.

The BIOS Hook is one I was working on but I first need to figure out why the ones that were already made aren’t working before I can try testing my own.
