Wayne,

Can you post those links for upgrading to trunk? I think I will try that. Thanks!

Does it matter when using SSDs whether or not to use that TRIM function? Or will be deploy time be affected by that at all?

Hello there.

I have FOG installed on a VM on CentOS 7, FOG 1.2.0. We will be deploying images to Dell E7450s with SSDs and I wanted to speed up the deploy time. I’ve heard of the TRIM function, but am not familiar with it to get it going on this system so that it will speed up deploy time. I’m looking for any help on this and would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Okay, so the boot menu is just php? That is what I was confused about. @junkhacker: I wanted to add a few more options for different images to the menu and change the background to a company background. I’ll look at the file Uncle Frank posted. Thanks and I do appreciate any responses, was just afk.

Hey all,

I am quite the noob on setting up FOG. I did get it to install on a VM in CentOS 7 and it is running. I was able to upload an image successfully, which I’m sure I can deploy. However, my conundrum lies in the fact that I do not know how to change the menu when it first boots. Is there a way to customize the boot menu? I have looked on google but thought I’d ask some of you seasoned FOG users. I’m sure its simple, I just am not finding it. Thanks!

I have uploaded our master image into the new server. I’m planning on just doing an .sql dump of the fog hosts table and importing into the fog hosts table on the new server. That way I bring all the old host information into the new server. I have 1 image and 1 host already, but we have that one master image for most of our machines. We have a few more images on the old fog server I need to bring over, and was just worried about transferring them. Thanks again for your suggestions!

Okay. I have FOG 0.32 as the old server, and FOG 1.2.0 as the new and they are both operational. Would it be best to just deploy the images from the old server to the machine, and then do a Full Registration and inventory so that the images go up to the new server with partclone? I’m just trying to minimize any issues that I can. Thanks Wolfbane8653 for suggestions so far.

I have a question about this:

If I have a new FOG Server and I’ve uploaded my first image from a master image, does that mean when I pull the images off the old machine it would be better to deploy them from the old FOG server and then upload them to the new fog server, or what is the best process here?

That did work!! Hallelujah! Thanks vinyard and Tom!! I ran the following commands and now its uploading that first image:

systemctl status nfs-server
systemctl enable nfs-server
systemctl start nfs-server

Thanks guys, success at last!

Thanks for checking in, Tom and ch3i.

I am using iptables and selinux because we must with our environment.

FOG Version: 1.2.0
OS version CentOS 7

There are no log messages in the apache error log around the time I try to upload the images from the client machine. I am going through the wiki now but I think it’s an issue with FOG trying to mount /images and /images/dev. I’m new to FOG so please be gentle. Oh, here are the perms/ownership on /images and /images/dev:

I did have to run #restorecon -Rv /tftpboot to get a Fog menu. Before that, it was permission denied due to the attribute settings on tftpboot. Now the process halts as described in the previous post.

On this subject, I’ve successfully installed FOG on a vm(CentOS 7) and have had some trouble throughout. I used MariaDB for the database and was able to get a registration menu. However, when I go to upload my first image, I get this error:

*Mounting File System…mount: mounting <ip address>/images/dev on /images failed: Operation not supported
Done
*Preparing to send image file to server.
*Checking mounted File System…

Fatal Error: Failed to mount NFS volume

I do have .mntcheck files in each the /images and /images/dev dirs and am trying to use the FOG server as the storage server as well. Any ideas on what to check? I’ve googled and gone through forums but any direction will help greatly!
