This is also something I am looking for…

Here is what I need to achieve…

We have quite a few machines in our lab and we need the ability to install a variety of OS’s on each machine.

For example… I have a DL380 G7 that might have Windows 2008 on it for one project, and then, we need to install 2008 R2 for another project. Then, it will need to be re-imaged back to 2008 or 2003, or Linux.

This needs to be done via the boot menu so anyone managing projects can choose what OS they need.

Is there a way to do this with Fog?

We have also been looking into Altiris RDP, but that software is quite complicated and requires training to use.

Hi All,

We are evaluating Fog for our lab environment and have a questions about support for HP Proliant servers.
Will we be able to deploy Windows 2003-2008 R2 on the following generation of servers:

DL, ML, SL, Blades
G5, G6, G7, and G8

We also have a need to deploy RHEL 5 and 6 along with SUSE 10.4 and 11(SP1 and 2).

Can someone let us know if there would be issues with these servers? The only thing I can think of is nic drivers for the Gen8s as we have to use Intelligent Provisioning on these servers for Windows - RHEL 5 and 6 seem to handle these fine.

Thanks!
Joe
