OK found the article, but when I do step 1: sudo apt-get update && apt-get install git
I get the attached error messages (at bottom). Not a Linux expert so bear with me, and thanks for the help!

Is there an upgrade path or set of instructions I could get on how to do this?

We are attempting to start a roll-out of Windows 10 machines, however when we create a capture task, restart and PXE boot we get the attached error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@Tom-Elliott So my FOG server is operating correctly now, what is the upgrade path and how do I go to 1.3.5? most important is this going to mess anything up now that I have everything running?

@george1421 Thank you guys! This is the simply the best imaging solution out there!

@george1421 Could you send me the syntax we used today to look @ the .fogsettings as again I am a Linux novice, I am going to make note of this.
Thanks again!
Mike

@michaeloberg This is resolved!
Thanks @george1421

@george1421 Again I know little about Linux so maybe I am just not familiar with the syntax to open/edit the .fogsettings
Sorry and thanks for your help, I am loosing sleep over this.

@george1421 It doesn’t seem I have the .fogsettings

Is there another place I should be looking?

So just to make this clear, I don’t wish to import images from the old fog server to the new fog server. I am simply trying to push up my master image from the host to the new fog server, and as I am doing this you can see the storage going down on my new server so I know it is receiving the image. See Pic of dashboard

Here you can see it is uploading

Here you can see some sort of invalid login?

And it fails here:

When I change the storage node back to old Fog Server I can use my new one to push and store the image on the old Storage Node.

@george1421 I don’t much care about my old images, I can just push them from a host back up to the new FOG server which I have done but still doesn’t seem to show. I should have an image name 745 G3

OK followup on this, darn I just built my new fog server and don’t know how to update it to the latest version, but with that said my IP of my new FOG server is indeed 10.1.1.138 and the old storage node is 10.1.3.30 and when I change that in Storage Management it works fine. Attached are the commands you wanted me to run but again want to tell you I am a novice at Linux. Thanks for the help thus far.

When I try to pull down the new image on my new Fog Server (host registered) here is what I get:

My version of fog was so old as well as the Linux Server I am simply trying to register my new hosts and upload the image(s) to the new server which worked like a charm when I applied a task for the newly registered host. For whatever reason I cannot see the image file in the GUI of the new Fog server. If I change the storage management back to the old IP of the dated Fog server and upload it there everything works, but don’t want 2 Fog servers running. Hopefully that makes sense…

So I had to build a new FOG server as we couldn’t image our new machines. I got everything setup and working however when I click Images/List all images nothing happens even though I pushed an image up to the new server (See Dashboard Pic), also when I do a search for the image it give me an error: Search! Failed Internal Server Error, Pic attached. Weird thing is if I go to Storage Management and change the IP address back to my old fog server it will show me the old images I had. Any ideas???

This works now. Thanks All.

OK thanks for the information, here is what I have done to test this theory:
Simply downloaded Ubuntu 16.04 server on a laptop now for testing, installed FOG 1.3.4 and exported the database from my old FOG server using the GUI and imported it into the new (temporary) server. Then changed my PXE service on my DHCP server (066) to reflect the new IP address. I also changed in the GUI of the new server under TFTP server and Web server to reflect the new IP address, however leaving the Storage Management server with my old IP address. I was indeed able to successfully PXE boot and image my HP G3s.

My next step is to fire up a new VM (VMWare ESXI host) but want to maintain my repository of images and storage without redoing this if possible from my old VM. Is there any documentation regarding this concept?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

I have 350 HP 745 G3 laptops with SSDs, not the 2.5" ones but the card style and they don’t PXE boot. My 745 G2s work fine. Does anyone have any suggestion or what to try fix. I am a Linux novice so please bear with me.
Thanks,
Mike

Sorry I got it figured out, it was our DHCP server not FOG.
