Hi george,

Thanks for your answer. I updated kernel and set kernel host for new PC and it’s working now (and I buy some time). I should have found answer by myself, my bad. I will get a look to new versions as soon as I have time.

Cheers.

Hello,

I use Fog 1.2.0 for imaging and it’s working well until now.
We got recently new PC Dell T3620 with integrated NIC, but, when I launch imaging, it seems to start then screen goes black and I get stuck (no keyboard, no display …).
if I disable integrated network card and use another network card, imaging is working well. It is probably hardware (network driver?) related. Any ideas how to troubleshoot and fix that?

Cheers.

Hello,

I’ve checked and tested again today and it’s working now perfectly. I have probably done something wrong. Sorry for this false problem.

cheers.

Hello,

I have a .bat script that I use with fog snapin system. It normally takes positionnal parameters (eg: myscript.bat usr srvprt). If I hardcode those paramaters in my script, with fog snapin system, it works OK. If I try to pass positionnal parameters within fog snapin system (snapin argument box) it does not work. Any help would be appreciated.

cheers.

Hi Unkle frank,

I haven’t yet looked deeply at location plugin, I will test that sooner. Maybe you can set this thread as solved, because answers given here are clear enough, and only tests will give me a definitive answer.

Cheers.

Hi wayne Workman,

I read your last post, but I’m not sure that I understand well, and I need to get documentation about ‘location plugin’.
By creating a second storage node , do you mean that I need another machine, or this is done on same machine( main fog server), with different parameters?
Why setting this ‘new’ storage node as a master node?
Maybe some questions are irrelevant, but I still not understand how it works.

Cheers.

Hi Uncle Frank,

The main reason for not using storage nodes would be to maintain just one server, mainly because our network has multiple subnets(15 or more). However, images downloads seldom needs to be launched simultaneously over all subnets, hence load on main server is not a problem in most cases. Dive into the code would be a good choice, but sadly, I do not have enough time right now.

Cheers.

Hello,

fogserver nic1 (subnet 1): 10.7.0.1
fogserver nic2 (subnet 2): 10.7.20.2

I have two subnet (each on distinct network card of fog server) with separate dhcp and tftp servers on these subnets. I’m wondering if it is possible to serve two subnets without using storage node:
On first subnet , upload and download images is working fine, but, on second subnet, when i try to upload image, on second ipxe boot fog, then after “…checking in” status for some time, I get this message:
" mounting 10.7.0.1/images/dev on /images failed: connection refused. " (where 10.7.0.1 is the ip address of fogserver in subnet 1, I suppose that this address should be 10.7.20.2?).
However, if I try to mount /images or /images/dev from second subnet, it is working ok, I can browse files.

Any thought would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi Uncle franck,

I added dhcp in my script and my client is now able to chain correctly.
But i’m facing another problem, I try an upload from my client, it starts correctly, but it hangs at ‘clearing NTFS flag’. Something seems to be uploaded on storage node in /images/dev/. I followed some tips and check directory images rights on storage node, but it seems normal (777 , fog:root owner).
And when I check main server web pages for tasks, the task is still in queued state.

hi Uncle Franck,

Thanks for your answer,
I will check this tomorrow.

Cheers.

Hello,

I’m trying to create a storage node in order to serve 2 separate subnets with fog.
I already have a working fog 1.2.0 installation on first subnet (eth0) with independant tftp and dhcp server.
On second subnet(the one that should be served by storage node) there is also independant tftp and dhcp server.
I create a storage node on subnet2.

Here is my config:

fog_main_server(Ubuntu 14.04):
eth0 192.168.1.1
eth1 192.168.2.1

subnet1 : 192.168.1.0/24
dhcp_and_tftp_1:
eth0 192.168.1.2

subnet2 : 192.168.2.0/24
dhcp_and_tftp_2:
eth0 192.168.2.2
storage node(Ubuntu 14.04):
eth0: 192.168.2.3
client2
eth0: 192.168.2.4

here is ipxe script for subnet2
#!ipxe
menu
item fog Launch FOG

choose --default fog --timeout 3000 target && goto ${target}

:fog
cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386
params
param mac ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
chain http://192.168.2.1/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params

When I launch client2, it loads undionly.ipxe, I get my ipxe menu, then I get an error when chainloading:
http://192.168.2.1/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php … network unreachable

What I’m doing wrong (maybe something I misunderstand)?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
