    • Need to change image storage to new volume
      Server

      1.2.0
      Ubuntu 14.4 OS:

      I need to change where images are being stored to a new volume. How do I change my FOG configuration so that the FOG system will put, store, access, and acknowledge images are on a different volume than the one the OS is running on (this is the current location for images)?

    • RE: Fog server errors after disk runs out of space

      Bingo, that did the trick. Thank you for the quick reply and quick fix. Now I better create a volume specifically for images. Can you tell me how to change my FOG configuration so that the FOG system will put, store, access, and acknowledge images are on a different volume than the one the OS is running on? Should I start a new thread for this question since you solved my original question?

    • Fog server errors after disk runs out of space

      1.2.0 Server
      1.2.0 FOG Version:
      Ubuntu 14.4 OS:

      Client
      • Service Version:
      • OS:

      I was testing Fog 1.2.0 on a Ubuntu 14.4 server that is running as a VM. I made a real bone head mistake in that the VM only had 40 GB of storage and when I created my first image I filled up the volume. I noticed this during the image creation in that at about 35% completion, the client restarted. I then attempted to access the FOG management console but received a generic “an error has occurred” on the browser. When I discovered what I had down I shutdown the server, increased the size of the volume and restarted the VM. Now when I attempt to access the FOG Management I receive a message that states among other things “Database Schema Installer/Updater …” . This seems to be the same message I received during the install. When I select the only option to “Install/Upgrade Now” the system returns a long list of errors.

      So it appears that I have caused great harm to the database and probably to the rest of the server as well. Is there an easy fix or is it best to trash the vm and start over?

    • RE: PXE seems to work but Fog Cloning menu not displayed.

      @george1421 It was a new server. So, now I get to the FOG menu.

      The issue was that I mikstakenly installed dnsmasq because part of the description (Using FOG with no DHCP server - but I am using dhcp just not on the FOG server) lead me to believe I needed it. But I only went looking for solutions when I couldn’t get to the FOG menu. The reason I couldn’t get to the FOG menu during iPXE was that I had the wrong file name in option 67. So, in my attempt to troubleshoot and apply possible fixes I caused another problem. So this issue is fixed. I have to remove dnsmasq service. The system seems to be fully functional.

      Thank you for the assistance. Now to continue on with my project.

    • RE: PXE seems to work but Fog Cloning menu not displayed.

      @george1421 Well I have to admit that I am confused about the dhcp server on 192.168.1.16, which is the fog server. I can not find an instance of it on the server, yet I see the dhcp offer in the pcap file. I looked for the isc-dhcp-server in the ubuntu server but can’t see it running nor can I stop it. So I am unsure what is running as a dhcp server on the 192.168.1.16. That needs to be cleared up first.

      Any suggestions on how to determine what is going on?

    • RE: PXE seems to work but Fog Cloning menu not displayed.

      @george1421 So, I ran the tcpdump (issue.pcap is the first capture). I can see that the fog server 192.168.1.16 is trying to get to a dhcp server (10.122.16.4) which the fog server cannot reach. The 10.122.16.4 server is the dhcp server for a LAN I have to connect to in order to have internet access for updates for fog, ubuntu, etc. At the time of the capture there is no physical connection to the 10.122 LAN, so I’m not sure why it is attempting to go to that server.

      So, I issue a sudo dhclient -v -r eth0 on the fog server to release the dhcp lease. I then issue a sudo dhclient -v eth0 to get a new lease from the only connected dhcp server 192.168.1.1 .

      I then ran a new tcpdump on the fog server and start up the dell laptop. that is the issue2… pcap . I look at that trace and I see that the fog server 192.168.1.16 is still trying to access the wrong dhcp server, which isn’t even connected to the server.

      I tried to upload the .pcap files and I get an error that I don’t have enough privileges to do so.

      @george1421 tcpdump is available on the server.

      @george1421 Yes the FOG server is 192.168.1.16.

      Under the ip dhcp pool LAN I enter option 67 ascii undionly.kpxe and I received the same results.

    • RE: PXE seems to work but Fog Cloning menu not displayed.

      Here are some more specifics.

      The client I am trying to create an image from is a Dell Lattitude D830.

      The system is a standalone (no internet access) system that has a Cisco 1841 router running ios 12.3 and a cisco switch 2560. The Fog server (1.2.0) is running on VM (vSphere 5.5) which is a Ubuntu 14.04.

      I think the next two pictures should give show the other details that will be helpful in helping me.0_1477320109986_IMG_0237.JPG 0_1477320119787_IMG_0238.JPG
