I have my image container set to “Single Disk - Resizable” but when I go to capture the image it is capturing the entire 500gb drive. Empty space and all. Is there some command that I need to run on the Linux box before shutting it down?

@Wayne-Workman @Joe-Schmitt any other thoughts on this?

@wayne-workman Yeah that’s the weird thing. It doesn’t clean up after a successful install. I have other .exe snapins that appear in that same folder long enough to install and then they correctly disappear and on the webgui the snapins move to the next one. Why would it be asking me for admin permissions to delete this file manually?

I also noticed that when I go into the C:\Programs Files (x86)\FOG\temp\ folder and manually delete the .exe file it asks for admin elevation to do so.

I have a simple snapin that I’m trying to deploy. It’s the Spark install file. It’s an exe file that I run with the argument “-q” for quiet install. When I run this on my PC for testing it works without a hitch. When I run it with a snapin it also installs correctly but the Snapin stays on “In-Progress” and doesn’t move on to the next snapin to be deployed. I noticed that the install file stays in the C:\Programs Files (x86)\FOG\temp\ directory and never gets deleted like my other snapins after its done. Why is this not working? I have other .exe’s the deploy just fine. Here is the section from the fog.log after trying to deploy.

I have a snapin that correctly deploys and fully installs on the client PC but it never clears out of Fog. It just stays in the “In-Progress” state on the Fog server. This is a problem because Fog won’t move on to the other snapins in the list until it knows that this one is complete. I’ve tried re-creating the snapin and tried testing on multiple clients. Same results.

Fog: 1.4.4
SVN Revision: 6077
CentOS 7

Okay so I finally figured out the issue. Whenever this error came up the storage didn’t show up on the main page. Once I was able to get the storage node figured out and the pie chart came up on the main page I was able to create a snapin just fine.

So I thought that was it because I did a fresh install on another PC and it worked. I assumed this meant that something was weird with the fog password. Fast forward to today. I installed FOG latest stable release 1.4.4 on CentOS 7 on a different server and without even touching anything else the first thing I tried was creating a snapin. It gave me the exact same error. Nothing has changed and this was the very first thing that I tried to do as soon as the installer told me that Fog was ready.

Yeah that was it. I changed the default fog user password. Thanks for the help.

This is a new message that I’ve never seen. This is a brand new Fog install using latest Trunk (1.5.0-RC-10). I cannot create a simple snapin on this new server.

Fixed it. Found this little bit on another post and it did the trick for me:

Also. please validate if selinux is in permissive or disabled mode.

You can verify by running:

sestatus

If you notice it says enforcing still, run:

setenforce 0

I just switched from Ubuntu Server to CentOS 7 for my FOG servers. I am unable to get PXE boot working. It has to be something with the OS because that is all that has changed. Same IP address and same options 66 and 67 booting to undionly.kpxe. At this stage when I was learning how to properly setup FOG using Ubuntu Server I was able to test the TFTP by using the windows built in client and obtain the pxe file. Now it just says “Connect request failed”. I have the CentOS firewall turned off completely. Anybody know why I wouldn’t be able to get the pxe file through TFTP?

@sebastian-roth I never had the option to reset encryption on this host and it wasn’t working for all hosts.

I rebuilt the whole server from scratch and didn’t do any importing from the other server and everything seams to be working as designed.

Here’s just the last page or so. Anything sticking out?

I’ve checked, double checked and triple checked to make sure the fog client is running. It’s there. I know that it’s communicating with the server also because when I installed the fog client it put the machine in the pending host list. The only way it could have found that host is if the fog servers was running correctly. Where can I find the fog.log? I see fogsnapinrep.log and fosnapinhash.log.

I created a new Fog server at a different site. I was able to successfully manually migrate all my images but I set up everything else from scratch. I did it the exact same way that I did on the original server but I can’t get any of the post image tasks to work. The machines won’t automatically join the domain like they do on the old server and none of the snapins will deploy. The snapin’s stay in a state called “Checked In”. Can anyone help?
