Problem solved. It was a configuration mistake in the location plugin! Storage Node info missing.

For the extra clarity, this worked for me. Edited /var/www/fog/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php, the rows just below "…$option == ‘fog.quickimage’)

//              print "login\n";
				print "set username username\n";
				print "set password password\n";

/Thanks!

Hi
Is there a list over available fog variables that is available for scripting?
I am trying to make a script triggered by postdownloadscript that depending on fog group, adds registry settings to windows image.
Is there a variable for fog group?
I am running 1.20 version

@Uncle-Frank Excellent! I tried that and it worked! Thanx so much.

@Uncle-Frank I mean that i know how fog-ip works, but I need a parameter that point to the current TFTP-server(could be on of five storage nodes or the master fog-server) that the PC boots from. let’s say that in my branch office in Tokyo, I want the PC to look at the local fog storage node in Tokyo rather than the master fog server located in sweden.
We use the same menu file for all offices.

So fog-ip does not work for me. Atleast I now know that the parameter does not exist.
I am asking because it exists when the client run the postdownloadscripts!

This was originally a simple question about the presence of a parameter that point to the storage node IP. Is there any such parameter available when in the PXE Menu?

About DOS, it is for firmware update, then it is faster better in all aspects than WinPE

Hi
First of all THANK YOU for an exellent deployment system! it really works.

I have a question regarding the advanced PXE Menu, I would like to boot from an DOS image located on the storage node. How can I point to the active node to which the host pc is connected to? Let’s say in the following menu item I would like a parameter named $storageip just like in the postdownloadscripts.

:MENU
menu
item --gap -- ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
item bios1                    Update BIOS on E6320 to version A08
item shell          ipxe shell
item return        return to previous menu
choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

:bios1
initrd http://{$storageip}/fog/service/ipxe/bios/usb1.ima
chain memdisk ||
goto MENU

OK, I will try this. Thanks!

When I run rsync manually with --progress it says about 200kB/s.
All servers are on 1.2, virtualized in vmware ESXi 5.5.

The big advantage with rsync is that is does not copy the whole file, only the changed bits, right? So that would be huge different when syncing big image files.

Ok, then I will try and schedule rsync in crontab for my drivers and images.
How can I then disable the service FOGReplicator alltogether? I do not want it to delete files and try to copy before rsync has finished.

What can we do about slow or interrupted image sync?

We have one master node and four storage node out on slow WAN-links. They are all sharing the same base image that is synced over VPN.
The problem is that it is not working. I think it’s because it is using FTP to sync? When I restart the FOGReplicator service all looks good for a while but after many hours it is not still finished.

Can we utilize RSYNC instead?
