I’m with Tom on this one, sounds like Apache server isn’t configured for the bond0 interface.

the FUN just keeps on coming…

DAY 3
Decided to bond the NIC’s

again… googled the hell out of it, surprisingly, there is no result for Fedora 15 nic bonding, save the official docs from Fedora that clearly articulates how to achieve bonding…

HOWEVER, not once did they mention that you needed to chkconfig NetworkManager off, nor did they mention to service NetworkManager Stop…
They failed to mention that when bond0 comes up, for some reason eth1 still holds an ip address, and that ifdown eth1 then ifup eth1 gets it to behave… then ifdown bond0 followed by ifup bond0…

they failed to mention the horror when you can no longer ping anything… not even the router even though all settings in the ifcfg file are correct and you’ve quadruple checked ifconfig -a output…

endless googling finally reveals that “perhaps” you may need to add a route by tying route add default gw 192.168.x.x dev bond0 which doesn’t seem to persist on network restarts…

suffice it to say, blowing away the server and re-installing crossed my mind on several occasions…

the result???

I have internet access but I can only ping computers on the same subnet, all other computers on any subnet can ping me… thats fine for now because imaging is working… again…

note to self… charge more for this $h!t in future…

i personally use 100mb partition with os partition as small as possible and let sysprep extend the partition automatically, you should run into issues aslong as your os partition is smaller than your smallest disk.

I agree. The web UI is pretty feature rich and well thought out.

Hi chad-bisd

Thank you for your replies.

It was me, I have been overlooking… I found it after check each laptop (30+) - it was active in 2 of them. It is a remote site and though they are instructed to connect to the local wifi after imaging, it looks like it has not happened. I should have checked instead of assuming…

Now the laptops are roving and connecting in via Cisco VPN, (mostly via wireless) thus it does not register the MAC over the VPN…

Ohh well, have to gather the MACs by some other method…

Thanks again for your help.

Here is the new version of getMacAddress() i just wrote. It’s untested, see how you go.

[code] public ArrayList getMacAddress()
{
// Variables
ArrayList alMacs = new ArrayList();

try { // Get all network interaces NetworkInterface[] adapters = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces(); // Iterate all network interaces foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in adapters) { // Get IP Properties IPInterfaceProperties properties = adapter.GetIPProperties(); // Push MAC address into array alMacs.Add( adapter.GetPhysicalAddress().ToString() ); // DEBUG //log("N/A", "Found network interface: Name: " + adapter.Description + ", MAC: " + adapter.GetPhysicalAddress().ToString()); } } catch (Exception e) { log("N/A", e.Message); } return alMacs; }[/code]

I have attached a compiled DLL, give it a shot and let me know how it goes.

EDIT: I’ve tested this and it worked as intended.

I have also attached the latest version of MODDebug which outputs the above as soon as the service starts (it used to wait 100 seconds)

Please read your related post in the Technical help section.

I would assume bundling software is just ZEN Works’s fancy way of saying “install software post-image”.
If this is true, FOG would be able to accomplish this through snapins (you could even do it with batch, vbscript, and csv files on network storage if you really wanted to - that’s how my company does it right now).

As for point 5, I’m guessing they are talking about mounting and editing the image being stored on the server. Doing that… I’m not so sure. It looks like this forum has some insight into it:
[url]http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/how-to-mount-img-file-882386/[/url]
(I believe FOG stores images as the .img file type? Or possibly .img.000, but I’m not sure how or if it differs)

I would love to hear some steps about how you got the software inventory into the fog interface, if you have the time to help out. I’m looking into doing that myself, but I know nothing about php, and a limited amount about sql.

[quote=“Terry Bates, post: 5057, member: 594”]Hey Lethal

I added the following to /var/www/fog/management/includes/tasks.advanced.include.php around line 165, i’m using FOG 0.32, seems to work a treat, not sure why its not included in the standard build.

[PHP] <tr>
<td class=“c”><a href=“?node=tasks&type=group&direction=onesnap&noconfirm=<?php print $groupid; ?>”><img src=“./images/snap.png” /><p><?php print _(‘Deploy Single Snapin’); ?></p></a></td>
<td><p><?php print _(‘This option allows you to send a single snapin to a Group. (Requires FOG Service to be installed on client)’); ?></p></td>
</tr>[/PHP]

Would love to know how you have added extra info to the database I would like to add a location to the hosts section so I know where my computers are, have requested the feature maybe you can help [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/location-information-for-each-host.913/[/url][/quote]

Thanks Lethal, this is a great help. I’m going to use FOG to apply updates for programs such as flash/java etc. This is great thankyou,
