Sebastian, My fog server is running on centos 7 in minimal installation. can this cause the issue i am having? i did yum update all after i install Centos 7 but it is still minimal installation. let me know.

It does same thing even if they are connected directly. But my question was about "eth0’ which fails to come up. which port is this ?

Also would you mind explaining me the process that is going on right from pxe booting until the computer starts being imaged or captured ?

“no link detected on eth0” which port is it talking about ? Fog server or the desktop that is being imaged/captured ?

i have updated inits and tried to PX boot again but it made no difference. now it says 120 seconds instead of 35.

Please provide instructions how to do this.

I use following 2 switches. I get same problem in both. but when same switches are used with in network fog server there is no problem. it only happens with one particular desktop and in isolated setup only.

Sorry about the screen issue. I just calibrated it and ran command again, This time it returned with “1”

Just ran the command and it returns with nothing. here is picture.

George, I ran debug task as you requested. here is picture showing the result. It did pickup IP after step 2 so didn’t bother doing 3rd step. let me know what this means and what can i do to fix this.

No we do not have any requirement. we just want computers to work as normal with our modified image.

Thank you for quick response. Please mark this as answered.

I created image on 50GB VM. when it was being captured i noticed the overall size of file was about 18 GB.

so when you say FOG only destroys Partition table but leaves content will it cause any issue to newly deployed windows image ? i just want it to work as if it was originally installed.

will fog auto wipe hard drive before it deploys image ?
The desktops/laptops that we use have OEM image and comes with different size hard drives. some even have SSD’s. will there be a issue when deploying an image ? I have created Single disk re sizable image that i captured from VM.

so what can we do ? we will need this fog server to do imaging.currently most of our desktops are E73 model.

Here is screen shot of error i am getting. It is only happening to Lenovo E73 model desktops.

Latest one.

i have isolated network setup. using dumb switch and only fog server and target computer is connected.
it is strange that i works in one desktop but not in other.

FOG behaving differently on 2 different types desktops. it let me deploy image straight from fog menu on Lenovo M91p but it didn’t work on Lenovo E73. it gets IP from fog dhcp then after fog menu and selecting image to deploy it tries to get IP again and this time it fails. error “Failed to get an IP via DHCP!”

Both known working desktops.

Please help.

Fog did configure dhcp and it worked. we still modified it according our need. please resolve this.

This is fresh FOG install. we didn’t move it to isolated network. we followed wiki for isolated network setup. we gave private IP to fog and yes IP is correct in web interface everywhere. just wondering if it will start providing dhcp address to pxe client or do we have to configure that in fog (dhcp scope). OS is centos 7.

I just installed fog in an isolated network.connected to switch only.wondering how fog will do dhcp assigment. i did say yes when asked to run fog as dhcp server. do i need to edit dhcp scope or tell fog to which IP’s it can assign ?

aprreciate help on this.
