started using FOG 0.32 to get me thru my Windows7/Office2k10 deployments for 215 workstations, and was successful with FOG deployments, there was a slight learning curve but if you need something deployed quickly and not have to read tons of microsoft literature and tutorials then FOG is your answer. I have not yet tried 1.00 but sounds pretty cool especially now being able to read GUID partition tables this issue got me hung a few times.

how about created a new clean vm of fog as test and see where it gets hung up on.

Ok heres my update as to why I had terrible speeds trying to deploy a multicast to 8 workstations. It was because my mobile fog server was plugged into a 8-port 1Gb port switch…which eventually was uplinked to a VOIP phone (100mb) which in return the voip phone was the uplink to the rest of the network…so my fog deployments were severely bottleneck because my fog server was eventually squeezing thru 100mb pipe…by temporarily bypassing the voip uplink and plugging in the 8-port switch to the real network im happily able to say i successfully deployed 8 Windows 7 workstations thru muliticast at 590mb/min which took 52 minutes tops! then i had to image one 6200 and that took 6 mins at 3.39Gb/min.

ok I did try it on my lab fog server and no go…i also tried to build my own kernel with added scsi drivers and no go…well i guess i will stick to x32 for now on my home lab…ok back to my ssd issue

This is my issue with SSD and HP DC8300
A.) WD Black SATA3 320GB - inventories/uploads/downloads perfectly on the exact same HDD
B.) EXACT SAME DRIVE AS STATED ABOVE - WD Black SATA3 320GB - NO GO, I have 10 exact models dc8300 and HDDs WD Black SATA3 that are identical.

• Partition Information
• Error: /dev/sda: unrecognized disk label
  Disk…[Fail]
  C.) EDGE BoostPRO SSD
• Partition Information
• Error: /dev/sda: unrecognized disk label
  Disk…[Fail]

Im lost on why I could get one SATA to work perfectly then I pop in another exact HDD in original box and deploy and FOG doesnt recognize HDD, not to mention the original issue of not detecting my SSD, Tom I havent tried your new kernel you sent me for my Fog server at work I will try now…

well i know its off topic with this VM business i brought up, but I have VMWare Workstation 7 and I have a lab fog server vm and I can grab images from x32 Windows 7 but not x64 and I have read to change your HDD bus type but you can do that in workstation even if you create a new vm and install with advanced settings…its always scsi.

hey tom would this new bzImage also help with trying to get fog to see x64 Windows7 VM hdd’s? for some reason even on latest kernel running fog 0.32 with 3.3.8 I cant get my lab fog server at home to detect a Windows7 x64 when trying to inventory I always get the “failed with drive issue” but if i use x32 Windows7 works perfect.

i will try tom, regarding the format are you talking ntfs vs ext3? im just trying to get a ssd to register with the fog server then deploy/upload just the same as my other test workstations with sata and Windows 7 x64 but these dc8300s use UEFI

im thinking i need a newer kernel that supports ssd or UEFI enabled workstations…its truly the only difference between my current HP boxes…

well i do use the lastest kernel which 3.8.8 and of course it works perfectly with my HP dc5800, dc6000, dc6200 with Sata 3 drives and even my dc8300 works with sata but i cant get ssd. is there a reason why your not using latest kernel?
