We try to monitor the multicast. After a moment, some machine freeze and screen didn’t update. The related machine in the active task is show 100% of deploy.

The other machine we cancel the task to make it as unicast to continue our works.

Hi, I have a strange problem that is appears in last few days. When I try to deploy a image using multicast, after a randomly time, it can be 75% or 60% the PC shutdown completly. I try to explore log in fog but I can’t see anything.
I have FOG 1.5.9 and try kernel 5.10.19 and 5.10.34 but nothing change.

I try to deploy image on a HP Prodesk G4. I didn’t have time to deploy on another models.

It’s work in unicast but it’s long to make all the lab in unicast instead of multicast.

About 2 week ago I deploy in multicast without problem and we didn’t change any network configuration.

What can I do to correct that?

@Tom-Elliott Thanks Tom, the update resolved the issue. I upgraded to 1.4.0-RC7.

@Quazz
it’s a brand new machine with SSD drive. I didn’t have problem when I deploy an image on it, it’s work fine. I try to run a chkdsk on both partition, the reserved one and the OS, no error at all. But when I try to capture it to another image, it’s failed and leave the reserved partition in RaW mode and shrink the partition to less possible.

Hi, I try the wiki, but the way 1 didn’t work, the system said is already off, the way 2, I always reboot the Pc for capture and try the way 3 didn’t help.
Here is the 2 screen capture

I try to capture an image from a HP prodesk 400 G3 but it always failed after the resize. It complains about maybe the Windows filesystem as an ntfs flag error. Before I run the capture, I run a chkdsk and even with Gparted I run a check on both partition, the boot and the OS partition but Nothing change. Before the resize when Fog try to cleaning the NTFS flag, it’s always in error with reg file not found.

I try to ftp the image server with the user fog to test if it’s a connection problem but it’s working I can browse the /images folder and create folder. When the upload task begin, a folder in dev folder is created.

After that my Windows 7 can’t boot and give me a BCD boot error. I need to deploy a image on it to correct it.

I have enough space on the server too.

Thanks for your help

@Tom-Elliott
No, no need an intermediate switch. If I turn-off spanning tree, yes I need to put a intermediate switch, but if it’s on, it’s working.

@george1421
Hi,
Part 1: Yes it’s working. The setup for spanning tree is pvst (per vlan) I change it for rapid-pvst. My only option is mst, pvst or rapid-pvst.

Part 2: Yes the Web and TFTP server was still on the old IP Address

Part 3: Yes.

thanks for your help

@george1421
Hi, if I put a unmanaged switch, the network getting up faster. If I leave in on my Cisco managed switch, with spanning tree turning off, I can’t have a DHCP offer, with spanning tree portf I have a DHCP offer.

But I’ve just realize too that I recently migrate my fog server to another server because I was unable to perform an in place upgrade of the old one. But at one place in the config, the old ip was still documented. So two problem was present

@george1421
Hi, I try with a different computer who’s not registred. The pxe seems to be fine as you said, I got the PXE menu, when I choose to perform a full registration I got the same error.

The IP address obtained is the same as when the computer boot in Windows.

Yes my DHCP server is a Windows 2012 server and is set for all clients, Windows or PXE

When I try to register a new Dell E 7740 laptop with UEFI enabled, I got an error when they try to register. I follow the guide for UEFI co-existence and make a Policy with UEFI and fix the name to ipxe.efi.

The laptop seems to get an IP address but can’t do Nothing after that.
Here is a snapshot of the error

If I manually register the machine and try to take a capture, it’s stay on “attempting to check in”

Thanks

Finally, with all you explanation it’s really my image who’s corrupt. I was able to recreate it with another PC with the fog version 1.2 and now I can deploy it on my HP Prodesk G3.

Thanks for your time

@Tom-Elliott it’s a new bios, so I was thinking maybe it have difficulty with legacy mode. But I’ve just realize that with my change of partclone to partimage to partclone, it’s seems to srap my image. in the size of the image now it’s 0 on client and server column

@Tom-Elliott I will try to downgrade the BIOS, even a normal wipe seems to stuck in queue and Nothing happens.

@george1421 I follow the instructions from https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_1.x.x#Operating_System_Information section old image so I change the partclone image type to partimage.
partimage doesn’t start

If I try with another PC and another image, I follow the same process, change partclone to partimage, make a download task and partimage came and seems to make Something for a few second and after reboot, If I replace the type to partclone, the download task seems to works on the other PC.

did we really need to set it to partimage instead of partclone?

@george1421 no it’s doesn’t start at all. When I try to download the image, the last screen I see it checking hard drive, screen goes black 1 second and after that the update database status done is showed and the reboot task command is initiated

The compatibily test is successfull, network and disk pass
Here is the result of the two command
