[quote=“Tim Jackson, post: 11199, member: 3381”]How did you get on with this? I have my Macs able to Netboot from my FOG server but need to get a method to apply images from inside the Netboot image…

Well, I didn’t… I wrote a script to do it in Ubuntu, and will wait for partclone support in FOG… I don’t know where I put the script, but it was mainly backuping/restoring the GPT table (using gdisk, iirc), and then using the partclone hfs+ backup/restore utility for the partitions…

(Sorry, I don’t check the forums often enough… :D)

Hi !

I had trouble with WOL when the server had more than one interface than the one it uses to communicate with the hosts… Even if the settings were set to send the packet on a given interface, for the hosts to start, I have to put a more specific broadcast address than 255.255.255.255.

I actually think by quickly checking that the interface setting is ignored in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/WakeOnLan.class.php but anyway, I solved it by changing line 54 (search 255.255.255.255):
if( socket_sendto($soc, $strRaw, strlen($strRaw), 0, “192.168.1.255”, 9) )

And it works like a charm, and I do have optiplex of many kind that properly wake up now…

Good luck!

Hi,

Shouldn’t nfsroot be set as nsfroot=192.168.0.3:/tftpboot/xxx (with the “:” between the IP & the NFS path)?

Hi,

I had the same issue, it was simply the OS not being set properly… For a Windows 7 image marked as “single partition”, it creates a directory to skip the possible bitlocker partition anyway… So if you have a host marked as say WinXP, on a single partition image, it fails to restore it. Switching the Host OS type fixes it!

Hi,
(yes, I’m answering a late message, but I just bumped into the issue…)

Using FOG, I couldn’t do proper imaging/netbooting for MAC. So I did load ubuntu on a Live USB key, and used partclone to do the imaging work on the NFS server, and it works fine… now to integrate that in FOG (i.e. [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_get_Macintosh’s_Netboot_working_with_your_FOG_server[/url] for the netboot part, and using partclone instead of partimage…), well, gotta see

Cheers
