thanks @Tom-Elliott is it ok to ssh in and do a rm -rf on the test dir?
hi all,
when i delete an image from the web gui, when i ssh into my server and do a
ls /images
i still see it there so it doesnt look like when you delete it from the web gui images, it doesnt delete it on the server
i can do a
rm -rf /images/test
can anyone please tell me why this happens?
thanks,
rob
hi all,
if i use the fog backup script in link below
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Backing_up_FOG
does it backup all the dirs below or do i manually need to back them up
Original Installation Tar File
does it mean backing up the folder that git pulled via the “git clone” command
Web Directory
i take it, it means /var/www/html/fog
OPT Directory
Images Directory
i have raided this, so i persume if my pc fails i can take out the drives pop them in a new pc and in “fstab” just mount it to dir “/images”, do i then need to re run the install shell script again
MySQL Database
thanks,
rob
thanks @george1421
btw, i found this, you can sysprep win10 up to 1001 times before recreating your image
ok job done.
just renamed the images dir to something else, made a new images dir, in fstab mounted the raid6 in the images dir and re ran the setup shell script
i did a capture and a deploy and all is now good
thank you all for your help!!!
ohhh, so once i mount my raid in images, your thinking re run the setup again and it will put all the files folders in images?
so you mean in /etc/fstab do this @Sebastian-Roth
/dev/md6 /mnt/raid6 ext4 defaults 0 0
do
/dev/md6 /images ext4 defaults 0 0
@Sebastian-Roth do you mean a soft link
ln -s /images /mnt/raid6/images
but only thing is my images dir is only 50g but my mnt raid6 images is 3.4tb
if i change any values in registry and then do a sysprep with oobe and generalize will the oobe part get rid of the changes and make it back to default settings
is there a limit how many times i can deploy this image with a sysprep, as i heard it can only be done 8 times?
Thanks @george1421 that’s what I thought, always sysprep even if it’s a golden image for installing on different hardware
Can I make an unattended answer file if I havnt got a windows volume license?
Hi all,
If your installing a vanilla golden image of Windows 10 ie literally just installing it on a pc then capturing it, not even doing a sysprep, is this advisable
But I thought you need to do a sysprep of it so you can deploy it to other pcs ie sysprep /oobe /generalize
Thanks,
Rob
Solved lol
I did a
Mkdir /mnt/raid6/images
Rsync -a /images /mnt/raid6/images
Obviously I put it in etc/exports
Just copy and pasted the images lines
hi all,
trying to capture an image and i see the partclone coming up and capturing the disks and it says its captured it succesfully as when i go on the fog web gui, i see the image size but then all of a sudden i get the below pic come up on the pc
thanks,
rob
sorted it out, i had to enable port fast on the cisco switch for the port(s)
the reason it took ages to get a dhcp address is because when port fast is disbaled it takes 30 seconds for it to give it a lease address
hi all,
so im about to register my host but im getting the below error -
so it finds my fog server i think, im guessing my NIC is not supported?
i have added scope options 66 and 67
66 - ip of fog server
67 - undionly.kpxe
thanks,
rob
thanks guys!!!
so for normal cloning i can use “single disk resizable”?
but for this server its “multiple partition image single disk not resizable”
hi all,
im about to create an image container to capture my windows server 2012 r2 host but what O/S do i choose -
10
2000/XP
7
8
8.1
98
other
vista
im guessing 8?
thanks,
rob
hi all,
i have captured my source windows 10 VM on my citrix xen server
made a new destination windows 10 VM on my ESXi server and i have deployed the captured image, (only change i made was i made the disk IDE instead of SCSI as xen its an IDE drive)
the capture/deploy process worked perfectly
now everytime the destination vm starts up i get a blue screen, i imagine the problem is the mbr boot partition (sda1)
can i create a new mbr, will this solve the problem?
PS, i did a sysprep aswell on the source
thanks,
rob
@Sebastian-Roth this is exactly what i mean thanks, i will test it out and get back to you!!!
it works!!!
when i do a “lsmod | grep bochs_drm” i see nothing
