RE: Reinstalling Backing up Database Failed
@jackiejack Something weird:
on ubuntu
systemctl stop ufw
systemctl status ufw
inactivepxe vm and it got the fog menu. I was on the first line “boot from harddrive” for a split second and then it boot into windows.
I loaded up a snapshot (sysprepping) then pxe boot. Now not even finding 1.39.
Puzzle indeed
The time when the fog boot menu came up, it asked me just before for tftp server. So I put 192.168.1.39. Then it went to the fog menu (it was only up for a split second). An SELinux alert/denial thing came up on fog server

RE: Reinstalling Backing up Database Failed
@george1421 running centos - disabled firewalld and setenforce 0
I can get a windows 10 on the same subnet not windows 7
Now I am NOT getting contact with 1.39 when pxe boot on vm

RE: Reinstalling Backing up Database Failed
@george1421 I will do those steps but now when I pxe boot vm it can’t see x.x.1.39

@george1421
Is this how it supposed to be? I don’t see “dnsmasq” -
RE: Reinstalling Backing up Database Failed
@george1421 I think I want to try that dnsmasq thing tomorrow. You have any tutorials. Or should I just download it?
I would be happy if I can use my home router and then disable dnsmasq when I am ready to put it back on the lab network. My supervisor said once I deploy a syspreped fog service image, we will consider um isolating the lab network, add our own dhcp server, multicast the images and come next morning with hook back up everything as it was. Sneaky, but beats hopping from computer to computer with FOS usb stick

RE: Reinstalling Backing up Database Failed
@wayne-workman Show and I will follow - one step at a time. I really do appreciate the guidance.
Now I have reinstalled my fog server at home. It has an ip of 192.168.1.39
- Setting up and starting DHCP Server…!!! No router address found !!!
!!! No dns address found !!!
So I am thinking that tomorrow when I go into the lab, I set my fog server to static 192.168.1.39
On my private lan there is no router (apparently you cannot pxe boot through a home cisco router)
And my virtual machine with bridged adapter would get ip from fog. VM pxe boot. And fog would take care of the rest? -
RE: Reinstalling Backing up Database Failed
@wayne-workman said in Reinstalling Backing up Database Failed:
If you have the knowledge and infrastructure to mirror linux repositories, you can mirror the ones your fog server needs onto an internal mirror, and configure the fog server to use the internal mirror. This is how offline installations works in the Linux world. There’s nothing wrong with the fog installer. It is the way it is by design.
You know any good links/yt vids on this topic. Thx.

RE: Reinstalling Backing up Database Failed
@wayne-workman
I understand what you are saying. BUT! when I doing it stupidly (not renaming old .fogsettings) it went through the entire process with PACKAGED INSTALLED or ALREADY INSTALLED. Now when I change the file name, it hangs. Guess, I will bring it home, install it and carry it back, and take you up on that IP addr change tomorrow. -

@wayne-workman said in Reinstalling Backing up Database Failed:
FOG more or less requires access to the internet for the installation process. You can hook it up to a network with internet access, run the installer, then take it back to your intranet. if an IP change is necessary when moving it back to the intranet, we can help you with that process.
HOLY CRAP.
Ok, so I will need to take this pc from the lab and bring it home to do the fog install. Come on brothers, in your new versions this must be fixed. I wanted to flick a switch, put on DHCP and image my VMs. Then flip back the switch and put it on my lab.

RE: Reinstalling Backing up Database Failed
I think I was doing something wrong.
So I change .fogsettings in /opt/fog to .old_fogsettings
I also assigned my centos server a static ip and subnet.
./installfog.sh
Adding needed repository…ok
Preparing package manager… but it just hangs hereWhat to do?
EDIT: In other words, how do I reinstall FOG server with DHCP on my private LAN w/o internet.

Reinstalling Backing up Database Failed
Hello all and George
I put my fog server on private switch. I want to reinstall fog enabling it’s own dhcp server. But when I do this I get the error that
Backing up database… failed!
Now I am thinking to uninstall fog
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Uninstall_FOG
Then reinstall. But, would I need to connect to internet? To redownload packages etc? I know once I hit that dhcp switch I will bother the entire lab here.
Ran these commands (database maintenance):
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_MySQL#Database_Maintenance_Commands
But still same error.
AND AND AND
setenforce 0
getenforce is permissivebut an SELinux denial alert keeps coming up
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/passwd from ioctl access on the file /home/cos/Downloads/fog_1.4.4/bin/error_logs/fog_error_1.4.4.log.
Thanks for the help!
EDIT: SELinux alert updated

RE: Extend partition mounted to /images
@george1421 Think I will go to option 4… tomorrow in the lab.
That second storage location could be /images2 say perhaps? And I mount new HDD partition to that?

Extend partition mounted to /images
The partition mounted to /images is filling up. I have a new hard drive.
How do I extend that partition (after first unmounting it of course)?Logical volumes? Would I need to back up my data (200GB!) first?
Thanks for being merciful to noobs!

RE: Win 10 image
When I change network adapter from NAT to bridged in virtualbox, I loose network connectivity in both host and guest. My host says network cable unplugged. When I power off virtual machine, host reconnects fine. Power on virtual machine, no internet connectivity on either guest or host.
… or should I post this on a virtualbox forum?
