Well, I’m not sure what happened but I tried to restart it yesterday and then it wouldn’t boot up. Something about no controller. Anyway, I guess CentOS 7 gives you the ability to boot from a last known good configuration and when I did that everything worked. I updated FOG and Apache2 went through without a hitch. Sorry to waste your time, thanks guys.

@Tom-Elliott I stopped it

right now it’s hung on systemctl restart httpd for a couple min now

Trying to update FOG and getting the above error.

CentOS7
Ver. 8415

Also, just now realized after I attempted to update I cannot get to fog management online. Just get the spinning circle in the browser tab.

I tried to update because I was having trouble capturing an image so I wanted to start with an update. Got stuck at bottom line and then would reboot.

So this post can be solved, everything is working. I created an image and then redeployed it. Now on to looking into sysprep. Thanks guys.

@Quazz Thanks, that worked.

Got a strange thing happening. I’m on my Win7 machine, my usual work space, when I go to FOG management and storage node the password is the same as my login. When I look at it from my FOG server it’s the usual randomly generated password. When I try to update it back to random password it won’t change. The password under .fogsettings is the random password. What am I missing?

OK, so I started to image and got this:

Tried to Google but no luck.

@Wayne-Workman Ok, check your PM.

@Wayne-Workman Still the same error.

@Wayne-Workman Haha, I agree.

@Wayne-Workman When you say blast I assume you mean delete? Just making sure its not another term or something…lol.

Also, I’m still getting this error when clicking on the FOG Configuration in fog management.

Not Found

The requested URL /static/index.html was not found on this server.

@Wayne-Workman said in Does FOG work with iSCSI?:

It’s not critical, but for backups to automatically happen when you re-run the installer or update, you need those fields inside of /opt/fog/.fogsettings just like it says. All you’d do is just add them, just as it says.

Ok, thanks.

Also, the command Tom gave has a typo. He was probably on cellular.

It’s chmod -R 777 /images

Yeah I caught that. See I’m learning something…lol.

@Tom-Elliott Awesome thanks. What about the first question, the FOG update one?

I’m not sure I quite understand this message during the FOG install/update. Am I supposed to add those two lines to the .fogsettings file, cause I don’t see them in there? If so, does it matter where it goes?

 ########################################################################################
   FOG has adjusted to using a login system to protect what can/cannot be downloaded
   We have detected that you don't have credentials defined to perform the backup
   If you would like the database to be backed up during install please define
   in your /opt/fog/.fogsettings file

   fogguiuser='usernameOfFOGGUI'
   fogguipass='passwordOfFOGGUIUser'

   You can also re-run this installer as:

   fogguiuser='usernameOfFOGGUI' fogguipass='passwordOfFOGGUIUser' ./installfog.sh -y

Also, I believe I’ve got the iSCSI mounted right and ready to try an image.

Curious, why do I have two of the same sd’s, sdb and sdc? I was going to partition one, I guess it doesn’t matter but just wondering.

@Tom-Elliott Gotcha.
