Sorry for the late reply,1) and 2) are both correct recompiled ipxe.efi works fine

@sebastian-roth

I’ve tried snponly.efi and it takes me to the boot menu

I’ve rebuilt the iPXE from source using your instructions and it’s working properly now

Thank you very much

Hi wonderful fog people

fog version 1.5.9

Device-2: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet driver: r8169
IF: enp85s0 state: down mac: e8:6c:c7:72:04:54

no configuration methods succeeded (http://ipxe.org/040ee186)

The BIOS doesn’t allow the change to Legacy, so in UEFI mode

I’ve tried realtek.efi, no luck

There’s one other similar post on the forum but doesn’t appear to be resolved

Anything I can try to troubleshoot?

@george1421

In BIOS Advanced
Intel Rapid Storage Technology

Intel RST 17.2.0.3790 RAID Driver

Non-RAID Physical Disks:
PCIe 1.0, Micron_2200_something_something

Physical Disk Info
Status: Non-RAID
Controller Type: NVMe
Controller Interface: NVMe

I guess I’ll just set the SATA mode to AHCI for now, good enough for me.

Thank you for your insight and help with the matter

@george1421

Thank you, I’ve tried and no success

@george1421

You want me to change back from AHCI to RST with Optane in the BIOS and then check the logs?

I thought I pasted the output of uname -a from the debug

EDIT:

Set the BIOS SATA mode back to RST

Only interesting thing I found is this, note syslog file doesn’t exist

[Wed Feb 12 root@fogclient ~]# cat /var/log/messages | grep -i nvme

1. Switching to legacy doesn’t make a difference

2. I couldn’t see an option specifically for the NVMe but only for SATA, changed it and seems to be a success

Onboard SATA Controller: Enabled
NVMe Port 1: Enabled
Onboard SATA Mode: RST with Optane (other option is AHCI)

Thanks for your help George1421

I just have to work out whether changing the SATA mode will have any problems with my image

Thanks for the debug mode tip, nice to see ssh server is running

Hello wonderful people,

I’m unable to create an image due to the hdd not being detected.

lsblk blkid shows no output

The hdd is Micron 2200

From what I’ve read I might have to upgrade to trunk, is there anything else to try beforehand?

Thank you

@astrugatch

It was an upgrade from 16.04, both universe and multiverse are enabled in sources. Good to know
Thanks

First I tried commenting out the packages line in .fogsettings, but I got an error on one of the packages

Then I tried to change the curl3 to curl4 in packages section of the .fogsettings

Obviously I didn’t work this out on my own
@Sebastian-Roth provided the crucial hint here:

https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/261

It still failed on the following packages

* Installing package: libapache2-mod-php7.1...................Failed! (Will try later)
* Installing package: php7.1-curl.............................Failed! (Will try later)

php is set to 7.1 in fogsettings

I ran these two and it was fine (not sure if I should’ve used php7.2 instead?)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
apt install php7.1-curl libapache2-mod-php7.1

Thanks everyone

I’m having some issues with an upgrade, I think I narrowed it down to libcurl3 or libcurl4

The installer will install libcurl3 but curl requires libcurl4 and will fail.

I noticed a few similar topics (one about Debian 10) but didn’t really see a solution

SOLVED
Thanks guys, once the certificates were copied to the fog2 server, AD join started working

Yay

@Sebastian-Roth Thank you kindly,
I googled but couldn’t find the article that Wayne linked, I’m just bad.

I will report back when I try it, forgot Monday is Australia Day, so no work

Thanks for your help guys, appreciate it.
Yeah it’s one school, two campuses so shouldn’t be an issue.
As for the location of the certificate, is it under :/var/www/html/fog/management/other/ssl
or /opt/fog/snapins/ssl or the ca.cert.pem in other

Hi guys,
I have fog1 server sysprepped image which has been deployed to a number of machines. Active Directory binding is working using the FOG Client and everything is working fine.

I have setup fog2 server at another location, copied the image from fog1 and imported the record into the images table.
I can see it in fog2 and I am able to deploy it, however the AD join is now not working.

Are there any extra steps I should take, like a install certificate?

Will go back to troubleshoot on Monday but just need some input if possible

Thanks in advance

Ubuntu 16.04 and fog 1.5.5

@Sebastian-Roth
Lets say I deploy an image to host1 and join it to the domain. I want to image host2 next, so I thought maybe delete or just rename the host1 to host2 and start the deployment?

Looks like that worked, so I am just renaming the host since I’m using the same mac address

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks for the explanation.

I noticed there’s also FOG Configuration > FOG System Settings > Active Directory Defaults

Does that mean all hosts will be joined to the domain if the FOG Client is installed?

The other option is to register one host and set the Active Directory settings on the host, and just export, delete and import since I’m using one NIC

Sorry about not being clear.
What I mean is on the Fog Web Interface there’s a Groups section

The plan was to fill out the Active Directory details in there

Active Directory
Clear all fields? Ticked
Join Domain after deploy
Domain name
Organizational Unit
(Blank for default)
Domain Username
Domain Password
Domain Password Legacy
(Must be encrypted)
Name Change/AD Join Forced reboot?
Make changes?

However, if no hosts are a members of this group when I Update (to save my AD details for the bind) the fields are all blank when I go back to Groups > Active Directory

If I add a host1 to the Membership of the group, the Active Directory settings are saved, but once I add a second host2 they are blank for that host, while retained for host1.

I guess the question is what do I do to retain the Active Directory username and password so that it is used for any host I register.

(I’ll worry about the issue of having one USB Network Adapter later)

Hey there,
Have’t really used this feature before. The plan was to set the AD bind in a newly created group but the settings don’t stick.
I had a read on the forum and noticed a host has to be added to be persistent but if I add another host to the group the settings get cleared (hypothetically if I had another network adapter)
What do you guys usually do in this situation?
Export the single host and import the csv with identical settings but different names? what do I do about mac address?
