    • RE: Multicast just hangs

      Found the issue! After some research and discussion with Cisco, we had to add “PIM” to the vlan on our core, even though both the server and client are both on the same vlan!

      Used the command - ip pim sparse-dense-mode on vlan 1 interface and it started working like a charm! I really appreciate everyone’s assistance here. This will help our institution so very much.

    • RE: FTP issue when pulling an image

      As always, the community comes through! Not sure how this got askew, but following these directions I was able to fix the issues. The image pulled correctly and at the end updated the database info. The image is good, I am all set. Thank you again this was awesome!

    • RE: Multicast just hangs

      @Tom-Elliott Good thinking, I just attempted that but it seemed to make no difference. My clients still seem to hang on the partclone screen. I did reach out to Cisco to check to see if my 6509E core switch has all the correct settings on it for multicasting. I also made sure the port the server was on is using “port-fast”. It worked like a charm the moment I plugged it into the edge switch. I will do some more testing while I wait for Cisco to answer me back. Sorry for all the back and forth with this, I really do appreciate this product, it’s developers, and the dedicated community behind it.

    • RE: Slowness after upgrade to 1.5.7.102 (dev branch)

      @george1421 I watched during the deploy but didn’t see anything relating to which bzimage version it is using. Odd. I have a feeling it is still using the other bzimage. I am going to test by backing up the current 4.19.101 bzimage and renaming the bzimage533 to “bzimage”. Just a temporary test.

    • RE: Slowness after upgrade to 1.5.7.102 (dev branch)

      @Sebastian-Roth Testing with newer init with partclone 0.3.13 and kernel 4.19.101 seems to fix my slowness in deployment of images. I am seeing speeds of 9GB or more in my testing now. I am guessing it is the partclone that is causing the slowness in some environments. Will continue to test and utilize 0.3.13 partclone to verify theory.

      @rogalskij And I answered by own question after reading this post. Very helpful and explains the difference in the kernel versions. Very helpful as always!

    • RE: Issue deploying image to new Dell Latitude 5410

      @george1421 I upgraded to the 5.6.18 and it fixed it! What I don’t understand is why the 5.6.18 kernel is lower in the list of kernels if it is the “latest and greatest” kernel. Shouldn’t it be on top instead of the 4.19.145? I am a bit confused by this.

      Also, forgive my ignorance, but what does LTS stand for?

    • Issue deploying image to new Dell Latitude 5410

      Tried to deploy our existing image to Dell Latitude 5410 laptops. Deploying these to the laptops manually via the “keyboard method” (not registering in the console but just going through the menus right at the laptop).

      Makes it through the menu system of the server, I choose the image and then when it starts deployment, it throws an error “No network interfaces found, your kernel is most probably missing the correct driver!”

      This is odd since it netbooted and I am on the latest version of FOG 1.5.9, not sure if it is a kernel issue or something else. I updated the bios and tried several of the laptops. My Kernel version is 4.19.143 which claims it is the latest in the list. Any suggestions?

    • RE: "Pending/additional" mac addresses combining with other hosts

      @sebastian-roth

      The process is as follows for a new machine never having been imaged. Desktop support tech sets all the necessary BIOS settings to get it to PXE boot. Then said technician PXE boots the machine, images it without registering it, and waits for it to reboot. After it reboots, the technician logs in locally and renames it while at the same time joining it to our Active Directory Domain.

      Then I log into the console sometime later and I notice that yet another mac address has been crammed into a machine in the console.

    • RE: "Pending/additional" mac addresses combining with other hosts

      @sebastian-roth

      Sorry I didn’t respond until now. We are still having the issue. For these machines, the majority we DON’T register beforehand. These are usually imaged by our desktop team at the PC using a manual “netboot” on the machine itself and then imaging it. Then we end up with hosts in the “Pending Hosts” section or in this case they never show up there because they show up under some other previously imaged machine as shown in the image I posted. We rename the PC manually after it get’s imaged in this case.

      Currently we have the default setting of “Change hostname early” set, should we disable this?

      I do have the FOG client installed in my image as I thought this was the desired behavior to “capture” an image

      If we need to rename the PC BEFORE imaging, how would we go about this but still utilize the manual imaging process right at the PC itself? (My desktop team prefers to image this way even when the original image on the machine is functioning correctly).

    • RE: "Pending/additional" mac addresses combining with other hosts

      I will certainly turn this off in my image, but the mac address that shows up on another machine, is a real mac address of a machine that I just imaged. So let’s say I image a computer named “PC1” using the manual keyboard based method of FOG. Then after I go log into the console, I can’t find it under “pending” or anywhere else. That is because it’s real primary mac address is listed under “PC7” or some other host on the FOG console under “pending macs”.

    • "Pending/additional" mac addresses combining with other hosts

      We have been using FOG for a bit now, and what find is that with some machines, once we image them they don’t create hosts of their own but combine into existing hosts that already show up on the FOG Web UI. They show up as either “Pending Macs” or “Additional Macs” but either way it makes the machine not able to be found. The only real way to find where they are is by creating a new host and punching in the mac address manually and it will show you what other existing host the mac has been added to.

      Is there a way to fix this globally and then prevent it from happening? I am not even sure the cause. If I delete the host with all the pending macs will the real hosts show up in the console? Very confused at the moment.

    • RE: Feature Modification Request - Image Task Email Addition

      @Tom-Elliott Thank you very much! This will help us greatly as we image off hours or when others want to monitor the duration of imaging and such. Thank you so much!

    • Feature Modification Request - Image Task Email Addition

      Respectfully requesting a modification to the data “Image Completion Task” emails contain. The feature is excellent, one small request would be to add the following lines in the email sent:

      Image Duration (in other words, how long the task took to complete)
      IP Address of the host that was imaged

      The image duration is the most important as sometimes we start images before leaving for the day, or sometimes our supervisor requests that sort of information about an image task. Thank you for your consideration!

    • RE: Hosts not showing up after installing client

      @Sebastian-Roth

      I suspect this already had the fog client at some point. We image the same machines over and over for various reasons in our labs and in our classrooms. Is this not supported by FOG? Is there some procedure I should be running before we image the machines or something?

      From the GUI is there any way to search via mac address?
