Good morning,

I have reinstalled Fog 1.2.0 on a Centos7 hyper-v machine. It’s been working well.
During the installation, I pointed the storage node to a Windows-based file server that has ample space for images.
Fog is not reporting this in the gui. It is working, but under “Disk Information” it says “Failed to connect to…”
Is it possible to have reporting with a Windows storage node?

Thanks!

Also, are you able to boot to a recovery partition by pressing F8? If so, Windows 8 has some recovery tools in there for startup issues.

[quote=“Lucas K, post: 47159, member: 29655”]Sorry for answering this old post, but i have the same trouble like you imaging gpt windows 8.1 disk
I used single disk multiple partition not resizable mode because the other mode didn t uploaded the image.
i did all the steps wrtitten above and I get this error when i download the image to the laptop:

How do you workaround this?

Thanks in advance.

Everything has to be set back exactly as it was before the imaging. If secure boot was enabled, re-enable it, along with all the other original options. (UEFI boot, etc.)

Windows 7 has the AHCI drivers disabled by default, I believe. You can activate them in the registry, if you can get a boot disk to work.

The keys are located at:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci —> Set “Start” from 3 to 0.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV —> Set “Start” from 3 to 0.

Nope. In fact, both machines are sitting right here on my desk, connected to the same dumb switch.

Okay. I still cannot download the file directly, however I was able to access the FOG menu from an optiplex 960. I’m attempting an upload at this time.

Tried restarting TFTPD-HPA service. It did. Still receiving the “write” error when trying to transfer the file. STP is NOT enabled on our switches.
Again, could this be a permissions issue?

I actually did this prior to posting. I was able to obtain the undionly.kpxe file through my workstation using TFTP. Although, now I am unable to do so.
Something funny is going on----TFTP seems to be working, and then not working for whatever reason.
As I stated previously, I was able to get it to boot to the FOG screen once. I registered the workstation, and then rebooted to upload an image.
It would not load FOG after that…just timing out, and I receive an error when trying to download via TFTP.

“A problem occurred while trying to write to the file from x.x.x.x” Permissions issue, maybe?

Hey all…
Been awhile.

Got a new job, and one of the first things I’m charged with is getting a FOG server up and running. Of course, I’m not as well versed on this network as I am on the old place, so I need some more eyes/ears for this.

I have Ubuntu Server 13.10 running Fog 1.2.0.

Have everything installed.

When I PXE boot a Dell Optiplex 580-- I was able to initially get to the FOG screen and register it. Then, I rebooted to upload an image.

Receive the following:
/default.ipxe…No such file or directory ([url]http://ipxe.org/2d12603b[/url])

I was receiving this error prior, and we opened up some ports on our firewalls. I also disabled the firewall on the Fog server. That’s when I finally got it to boot the first time, but has not done it since…just keeps throwing that error.

Any thoughts/suggestions here?

Yeah. The kernel didn’t work.
