Trunk Version: 8093
I am having an issue deploying an image. The deployment keeps failing because of a partition size error. I have included the screenshot of the error saying “Target partition size (525 MB) is smaller than source (525MB)”. The upload of this image was on an 80 GB HDD and the imaged was deployed to a different PC with the same size and specs as the upload computer HDD. If I put in a hard drive that is bigger than 80 GB, then the image deploys successfully. The Windows 10 image has two partitions, a 500 MB System reserved, and a 74.04 GB C://

Here are the specs of the image I am trying to deploy:
Operating System: Windows 10
Image Type: Single Disk- Resizable
Partition: Everything
Compression: 7

Any help will be fantastic!

Thanks

@Wayne-Workman Can Fog join to a Workgroup instead of a Domain?

For the past couple of weeks, I have been having issues with images replicating to other storage nodes. The Image Replicator logs tells me that “I am the only member, Image Name: Image01, Not syncing Image between group(s)”. In my environment, I have 4 storage nodes and 1 master. None of my 20 images are replicating. I did get them to replicate last week but I did do a capture today and that image is not replicating out to the other nodes. I do not know why this is not working it has work perfectly in the past but I cannot get it to replicate. All are running Trunk 7959. Any help I would greatly appreciate! Thanks!

Hi all, I was wondering if in the future the Fog client will be able to disjoin computers from the domain. I think that this will be helpful if computers need to be moved from one location to another or if a disjoin/rejoin will resolve PC issues when a disjoin/rejoin is needed. Thanks.

Thanks @george1421 and @Sebastian-Roth for your help. For now I did what Sebastain mentioned and moved the images and that worked. George, when I get more time I will review your documentation and see if that is something that I would want to do in the future.

Once again thanks!

I did a clean install Trunk 7025. Issue is that when I installed Trunk, it did not ask me to enter in a path to store images. My issue is that my images are on a ISCSI device and when I mount that ISCSI the path is /images/images.

Is there a way to tell fog that the path is /images/images and not /images?

Thanks.

I am starting to play around with Snapins with Fog. The only thing is, I do not know how it works. While looking at the Wiki and other sources, I cant find a good “How-To” on how the snapins work and best practices. If someone can point me in the right direction, that would be great!

Fog Configuration --> FOG PXE Boot Menu Configuration --> Exit to Hard Drive Type

Exit to Hard Drive Type was set to SANBOOT. I did change it to EXIT and that seems to fix the issue.

I am also seeing this issue. I am running Trunk 5568. I have seen this issue in the past and when I restart the server that normally fixes the issue. After restart, it did not fix the issue. Below is my output on the boot.php. Thanks.

Updating Fog fixed this issue.

Thanks,

After upgrading to trunk 511, log viewer is no longer working. I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘No Storage nodes enabled for this group’ in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/StorageGroup.class.php:29 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/fog/lib/pages/FOGConfigurationPage.class.php(616): StorageGroup->getMasterStorageNode() #1 [internal function]: FOGConfigurationPage->log() #2 /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/FOGPageManager.class.php(67): call_user_func(Array) #3 /var/www/html/fog/management/index.php(24): FOGPageManager->render() #4 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/StorageGroup.class.php on line 29

I am also seeing this issue too running version 4980. This was working before upgrading.

For the “New Fog Client Service” which is an MSI, going though the MSI for server adress it has it by default as “fog-server” and not the reflected name change. With me changing the server name, will the default name on the MSI change also?

Thanks. After I change the host name of the server and download the new client, will that new client reflect the name change?

I am using Kubuntu for the server.

Is there a way to change the fog server name from “fog-server” to a custom name?

Verified that it is working. Thanks Tom!

Under the Report Management for Full Inventory Export all the computers that are inventory with Fog are missing with the message “No results found”. I do have 10 + computers that are fully inventory with Fog. When I export the CSV file, that too is blank. This was working with a previous version of Fog. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
