the O.S is Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Server 64 bits
Fog 0.32

Sorry I forgot something

I also have an USB external HDD 300Go in which I would like to store all the images create by Fog

All unicast and multicast use that HDD to clone the image to client’s computers

Thank you

Hello chad-bisd
I have a basic PC on which I installed and setup Fog Server

Pentium 4
RAM 1Go
HDD 80Go
Network :
Fog installation is very basic
Fog installation = Normal
DHCP Server = Using FOG DHCP by default
All the clients get thier IP from Fog DHCP Server

I can unicast (upload or deploy to a single machine), when using Multicast method, I have a blue screen with ''Please Wait" message and nothing happens

Please, any suggestion or solutions are welcome

Do I need to change the fog user , storage groups and storage nodes ? Or just leave them by default ?

If I change it, do I need to change user name and password as well in

/opt/fog/service/etc/config.php
/var/www/fog/commons/config.php

I would really appreciate it if you could give me a solution

Thank you

Hello,

I’m trying to use multicasting to deploy my 15 Pcs, but here’s the message error

‘’ Invalid Partition table on /dev/sda : Wrong Signature 0 ‘’

When I try to unicast , everything is OK, only with

The dev/sda is an external USB HDD with all the images that I have cloned

Please, tell me how to recover the /dev/sda partition error or get back the old signature

Thank you so much

Hello,
Does anyone know how to ONLY CHANGE THE COMPUTER CLIENT HOSTNAME ? Or the value to change in the fog settings

1. fog service downloaded and installed to the client computer
2. fog service activated in Windows services
3. netdom installed

But I don’t want to join the computers to the domain , will do it later manually

Thank you

regards

Hi jdd49,
Thank you for replying

I haven’t used sysprep yet, computers are majority XP and some of them are Windows 7 Pro 32 bits

It’s for all computers, what I’d like to do is to clone the image to all computers and setup the FOG server to change only the computer hostname and I will later add them manually to our domain

Thank you very much

Hi everyone,

I would like to change only the hostname on the client computers on FOG Server once the imaging process finished without touching the AD parameters on FOG and manually add them later to the AD.

Does anyone know how to do it ?

ONLY CHANGING THE HOSTNAME ON THE CLIENT SIDE

Thank you very much

I suppose that you have an external hdd with the /dev/sdb if another it would be /dev/sdc …
and would like to save your images to a new hdd with more spaces … Here’s how to do it

1. [B][U]Log in Ubuntu as usual[/U][/B]
2. [B][U]Go to Applications --> Terminal[/U][/B]
3. [B][U]Su root and your password for root[/U][/B]
4. [B][U]Type the following commands:[/U][/B]
   . sudo dmesg or
   . sudo fdisk -l
5. [B][U]Partition on the /dev/sdb[/U][/B]
   . sudo fdisk /dev/sdb following these options (n ; p; enter ; enter ; t ; 83 ; w )
6. [B][U]Now we need to format the filesystem[/U][/B]
   . sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
7. [B][U]We need to rename the default /images/ directory created by FOG to /imagesold for example[/U][/B]
   . sudo mv /images/ /imagesold
8. [U][B]Now we need to create a new directory named /images/ and mount it to your new hdd (sdb1) for example[/B][/U]
   . sudo mkdir /images
   . sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /images
9. [U][B]If you have already saved some images on your old directory here’s how to copy them to your new directory (suppose that you have some images on your /imagesold/ directory and you want to copy them to your new directory called /images/ on the /dev/sdb[/B][/U]
   . sudo rsync -av --progress imagesold/ /images
10. [U][B]We need to change the permissions on the /images/ directory as well[/B][/U]
    . sudo chmod -R 777 /images
11. [U][B]Now we are going to mount automatically the new hdd using UUID[/B][/U]
    . sudo blkid
    . sudo vim /etc/fstab (use vim to edit and add your new UUID

UUID = UUID_of_your_new_partition /images ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

You should have your new partition mounted and working now, don’t forget to refresh your fog UI by using F5 on your keyboard (check your new hdd space for example: before it was 80Go now is arround 450Go depends on your new hdd capacity)

Hello everyone,
I have recently installed and setup a Fog Server on my old IBM Tower Server (xSeries 206m)

Here are the specifications:
[COLOR=#000000][U][U]CPU[/U][/U][/COLOR]: Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz
[U]RAM[/U]: 2Go
[U]HDD[/U]: 2 SATA SCSI DRIVES (74Go each)
FOG 0.32
[U]O.S[/U]: Ubuntu Server 10.04.3 LTS
[U]Ethernet[/U] : 2 NICs (1 for the internal network , 1 for the Internet access)

By default, all images are uploaded in the /images/ folder, and now I would like to change the directory to my USB EXTERNAL HDD (300Go) so all future images will be stored in it, I did followed the instructions on the FOG WIKI Website but it didn’t work

The external HDD was mounted (in the disk utility [COLOR=#ff0000]/media/BI[/COLOR])

When I tried exportfs -a

The message error:

Warning : /home/fog/images doesn’t exist
/home/fog/images/dev doesn’t exist

Does someone have the same problem ?

Please, help

Thank you so much

Regards
