After a bit more testing it turns out i could’t image older laptops either, but desktops work.
So i put the old kernel back that i started with. Same issue.

Rebooted the FOG server, and it works.

Seems i should listen to my own advice more often, if all else fails reboot!

Upgrading to latest version will probably take place when we start with Windows 10, hopefully not to long in the future!

it was already in a mini-switch, tried directly to the network with same errors.

Forgot to mention i tried a Debug Deploy task, found this:

if i do a “ifup eth0” i get:
ifup: ignoring unknown interface eth0

Unfortunately it’s the same errors with the newest kernel.

Part of the reason we can’t upgrade that server now it will be a big process, we have around 1300 computers and 6 Storage Nodes connected to it now.

Hi,

We have a 0.32 FOG setup on Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS, which has worked fine up until we got this HP 840 G3.
Upgrading the FOG server to latest version isn’t really possible right now.

The ethernet adapter the laptop uses is:
Intel Ethernet Connection I219-V 10/100/1000 Ethernet

The issue I’m having is with registering a new host, i get the error “ioctl 0x304 failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device” before I’m able to type in a computer name.
If i add the machine manually and start a Deploy task, it gets stuck at “Checking queue”

I have disabled secure boot and enable legacy boot in the BIOS. The laptop also has the latest BIOS version.

I have tried to compile a custom kernel (using this guide https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Build_TomElliott_Kernel) with 4.5.1 kernel, even copy the bzImage from a server running the latest FOG version with out any change.

Seems the issue is similar to this, just on a new version of FOG: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6747/unable-to-register-and-inventory-new-dell-pcs

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.

I setup a router to be able to test the ports for the storage node. So far these are the only ports i needed to open:

FTP – tcp 20,21
HTTP - tcp 80
SSH – tcp 22

I haven’t tried to register a new host and install it yet, but now the Dashboard displays the Storage Node, and image replication works.

Hi,

I have an existing FOG server version 1.2.0 and Ubuntu 14. I am adding a few Storage Nodes to the servere at different locations, but i need to know what ports that need to be opened in the Firewall for the client and the Storage Node.

I have found what ports are used but its a bit vague… https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOGUserGuide#Full_Listing_of_Ports_used_by_FOG_server_and_client

The clients on the same sites as the Storage Nodes will be on the same subnet as the Storage Node so that won’t be an issue.

So my question is:
What ports need to be open from the clients to the main server?
What ports need to be open for communication between the Storage Node and the Main server?
Also the transfer ports are a bit large range, can that be reduced?

struggling with this a bit, probably party because I’m more used to where things are in fog 0.32, am running a 1.2.0 now on Ubuntu.

Ive tryed different kernels from the FOG management website, official and latest unofficial.

Also have tried adding the host to FOG first and it still is stuck at “iPXE initialising devices”

and the fog.custom.reg

Put this aside for a while, but am back to troubleshooting. Have tried using a default fog.custom.reg and fog.quickimage files with out any difference.

Same problem on any machine, tryed to delete a host and re-add it manually or via Host Registration menu item from PXE with out any change.
Also removing the password from the PXE menu doesn’t help.

not sure it helps but the fog.quickimage file I’m using is:

I’m having troubles getting the “quick image” to work after I’ve edited the PXE menu a bit.

I followed this to remove some of the questions, [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Create_Custom_Fog_Registration_menu[/url]

also removed authentication on the quick image, so you just have to type in the password i set for that menu item.

Now when i choose “quick image” i get the error: unable to determine operating system type

If i go and check the OS type in FOG Management its set to Windows 7, as all machines are. Have tryed a few different machines but all get the same error.

Can upload the config files for the menu if needed.

Using Fog 0.32 and Ubuntu 12.04.4
