@IT-Knight said in FOG issues on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
First, I had set up the fog server and captured an image. I then tried to multicast that image to 2 computers as a test. The capture seemed to work, but after multicasting, I ran into an error when booting the clients. I kept getting an error that said “Invalid Partition Table!” While troubleshooting this, I attempted to reboot the server computer and my network changed my IP Address, causing the server to get all messed up.
First let me say that you should/must set the fog server to a static IP address before installing FOG. FOG does not support dhcp supplied IP addresses. If the fog server changes IP addresses after FOG is installed you will have a very unhappy FOG server. There is a process to resync the fog configuration, but I would get your fog server configured for a static IP address before going through the process.
The clients were now unable to communicate with the server when PXE Booting so I was unable to connect the clients, capture images, and multicast.
The pxe boot settings in your DHCP server need to be updated to the actual (new/current) IP address of your fog server.
Also, I seem to be having some strange networking issue in Ubuntu. When I connect the ethernet cable to the network port, it gives me the up and down arrows to show that it is connected. But when I then connect the ethernet cable to the switch to do the PXE Booting, the up and down arrows do not appear and the computer seems to constantly be searching for a connection.
I would say lets get your IP address issue resolved with the fog server first. Then we’ll need you to clarify “when I then connect the ethernet cable to the switch to do the PXE Booting, the up and down arrows do not appear and the computer seems to constantly be searching for a connection.” Is the fog server doing this or the target computer?
