@phishphan Issue here is that you have a second recovery partition (type=DE94BBA4-06D1-4D40-A16A-BFD50179D6AC) as fifth partition. FOG is not able to move that partition around and therefore cannot actually shrink your layout to fit on the smaller disk.

Let’s do the maths. sda5 starts at sector 974862336 and is at least 1908736 sectors in size: (974862336 sectors + 1908736 sectors) * 512 bytes sector size = 500106788864 bytes ~ 465.76 GBytes

That’s about the size of disk you need to be able to deploy this particular disk layout to it. In case you would remove the fifth partition (not saying you should as I don’t know your setup enough) the maths would be: (1161216 + 330329656) * 512 ~ 158.07 GBytes

@Wayne-Workman

Tried a totally different, but exactly the same, box and the master image worked for capturing and deploying. Very strange but whatever. I’ll take it.

Thanks!

@phishphan said in HP ZBOOK15U G3 - Host Registration Problem:

I ask because once I have my captured image I move it to another drive for archival.

You should automate that with a cron task and scp or rsync.

Just tried that and it won’t boot into debug either.

All is forgiven. I contacted Jaymes Driver via PM and in response on troubleshooting an IP address typo became apparent to me and I am now able to boot to the PXE menu. Haven’t tried imaging yet but I will soon. I appreciate yours and everyone’s assistance in helping me muddle through this. Prior to this I had close to zero knowledge of Linux so it’s been a learning experience thus far and will continue to be.
