I originally deployed FOG using the VM template for version 0.27 and upgraded from there when I started using it 4 years ago.

Has anyone developed a FOG 1.20 VM Template? I’m fine managing linux servers for specific use, but building from scratch is something I don’t have time for right now.

Also, a new install erases all our history, and we use fog for a pseudo inventory management as well. I’ll try booting my TRUNK version I had upgraded to a few weeks ago, and do a re-image upload. The big problem I had was that the images wouldn’t deploy. maybe if I do a fresh image it would solve that.

Thanks!

I am on V0.32. I tried 1.2, but it had major issues, most likely do to the upgrade process, and had to rollback.

My question is that we just have started using nodes at our remote site, so we can image on site, and not pull the image over the small MPLS connection. I have setup the node and everything seems to be working fine.

However, I have run across instances where computers I am imaging are pulling from the remote site.
Reading through the wiki and forums, there is no logic I can find that specifies how a specific imaging job selects which storage node it pulls the data from.

As far as I can tell, its random. If I image 2 computers at the same time, the first images off the HQ Node, the second images off the remote Node.

Shouldn’t it be looking for the closest node, and select that? Is there a way I can specify the node per task or by editing the PXE boot menu?

For now I am disabling the remote node until we need to image a computer at the remote site. Then I enable the remote node and disable all others. This seems to be a bit of administrative overkill…

Network topography is as follows:
FogServer (main node), vlan 1 (server vlan)
–Gigabit Switches–
HQ Node (Secondary Node) Vlan 10 (PC Vlan)
–Gigabit Switches –
Worksation Imaging Area VLAN 24
–3x3MPLS Network–
Remote Site Note - VLAN 45 (remote site PC VLan)
Remote Site Workstation - VLAN 45

Any advice is appreciated!

Between the Inventory report and the host list, I have a discrepancy developing between my Host List and my Inventory report. At the beginning, the Host ID equals the Inventory ID. After some time, the numbers are offset by one, by the end they are offset by 2. I have 140 or 142 devices, depending on which report you read…
The HOST ID properly lines up with the item ID in the web links, but the Inventory ID does not.
