Checking it out!

We had to move our workspace around the office…

Edit: We got sick interns, colleges on vacations having a hard time scraping time together.

@Junkhacker

Honestly, I’ve not seen multicast this fast. We’re going to seek for the “goldilock” zone IF it exists (Compression level).

*ZSTD Compression 16 was used

Dont worry i am doubting everything. I will post a full report of all hardware used. including ZSTD compression report (linke the screenshot above).

Just give me 1 more day so our intern can gather all data from compression 0 - 22 on a full 10 GBE network.

10GBE network can be here any moment

edit: Just received 10GBE Nic. All hardware is now 10GBE

@george1421 @Sebastian-Roth

Only Client is limited with 1GB network card. Current speed with Multicast (18Gb! - Windows 10 Deployment 1:36 LOL)

10GBE network card for client will be here within a hour! Curious what will happen!

@Sebastian-Roth

Oke going to try it now. Crossing fingers Server is in a isolated network witouth any internet. Due to Nic driver problems (Ubuntu 16) i’m re-installing it on version 18.

@dangquan091

Sysprep your windows before capturing.

*Open CMD (As Administrator)
*Enter command: cd C:\Windows\System32\drivers
*Enter command: sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown

System will shutdown. DO NOT BOOT INTO WINDOWS! capture image!

Hi, i need some help.

I want FOG to use external card to push images & DHCP (Fog is the DHCP server 192.168.4.1)

I’ve eenabled and configured Fog as DHCP server when installed. it dident let me control which network card to be dhcp…

See top of screenshot that Fog DHCP is installed. Any ideas?
I basically need a simple network 2 devices Fog Server & Fog client on a 10 GBE switch.

@george1421

We will do!

We will also make an excel sheet as above regarding deploying/capture speeds.
Hope we get the equipment on time! it’s now 8:33 AM i hope the have the hardware by 12:00

@george1421

Ever tried multi-casting on a full 10 GBE network, including clients having 10 GBE? i am really wondering what ZSTD with high compression on a 10GBE network. Prepared several machines, from 16 GB till 64 GB with strong cpu’s.

Hardware will come in Monday/Tuesday and we will push the limits curious!

@george1421

Procurve 5412zl does not have 10GB poorts? or i might have the wrong product infront of me

@george1421

Resolved. Spanning-tree was not enabled on the switch port that was directly attached to system.
spanning-tree portfast on the port solved it.

What for 10GBe switches are you using? i might purchase the same ones ( we’re seeking for 10GBe switch to test deployment)

@george1421

Reboot? or a command to start cast? Checking out our switches meanwhile

@george1421
Done

@george1421

Okey.

@george1421 said in [Seeking Volunteers] Bench Testing! Our trip to the best results!:

When you schedule the task tick the debug checkbox before you press the schedule task button.

*Doing it now (debug).

@george1421

Yes!

@george1421

We’re having difficulties with the 10GBe network card on client.

We’ve Fully disabled onboard NIC on the system (Bios).

System boots PXE (TFTP/http)… but when it wants to mount FOG it suddenly said no DHCP on ENP12S0 nic. Like it’s expecting to receive DHCP on onboard nic. Dident expect that…

@george1421

You knocked it right on the head with the multicast details, took a few tries to get the all the details configured. We’re now thinking about setting up a 10GB network and do the exact same tests. just curious… what speed would we reach? especially with all the variables in play.

This is a pure trial and fail, find the limits. Fail uncountable times and still keep seeking for answers. We’re using something new with a very high compression ration and i find there is a limited information pool about it. So i am extra curious about pushing limits with this.

In my eyes these trial and fails can decide or break a future plan of our classroom hardware architecture.

@Junkhacker

We’re currently around 15gb/s with unicast and 8 GB/s with multicast. Why almost 50% difference? so continuing with tweaking and figuring out some things.

Would there be difference between a small 24gb image or one of our large 300gb+ one?
