Hi,

Have been using fog version 1.1.2 now for over a week. Everything has been running smoothly and I have been abled to upload and download images using part clone etc. This morning when I was testing the options within the fog menu I used the Quick Host Deletion option as the host I wanted to send an image to had already been registered. After I had used this option the host was deleted. Upon trying to send an image to the machine I then received the message invalid mac address. I tested on other machines and now this message is appearing on all. I am able to register the host and it gets as far as checking in before saying invalid mac address.

The other change I made this morning was testing a storage node. I changed the IP address of the node as I wanted to test from this building before configuring for another building with a different ip range. I have since changed the IP address back to what it was previously and removed from the network as I feared this was another reason for the invalid mac address error.

Not sure if either of those changes have caused this is anyone able to shed some light please?

Thank you
Scott

Just to update you, I have just tested updating the image in fog 1.1.2 which uses part clone to capture and the progress bar is now working.

Thanks for the help, appreciated.

Brilliant, I will give this a go thanks for your help.

How I take an image using part clone as opposed to part image? Is it just a matter, now that I am running fog 1.1.2, to capture the image again using upload and now that fog is using part clone it will be captured in this way? Are there any other settings under image management that need changed?

The image I am currently using was taking using fog 0.3.x - is this the reason it has part image as the deploy method ?

Thanks

Hi,

I have also upgraded to fog 1.1.2 and progress bar is blank showing 0% when imaging machines. However under the image deploy method it states that it is partimage which may be the problem. How do I go about changing the deploy method from partimage to partclone? Is this a matter of recapturing the image using the latest version of fog 1.1.2 ?

Thanks
Scott

Thanks for the reply - managed to get some clarity around this and have now been successful in setting up another advanced menu using the advanced boot menu configuration options. The last thing outstanding is that I would like to set a password on the advanced menu so that normal users cannot gain access - is there a way of writing this in to the code itself?

Thanks again.

Hi,

Since upgrading fog to version 1.1.2 we have had to change to boot options to undionly.kpxe from the previous pxelinux.0 as fog was not supporting this anymore. We had previously created a boot menu in which we had tools such as a bioseditor and recovery tools etc. along side the quick reg and full host reg task (stored within tftp>pxelinux.cfg). However now that this option has changed the menu has defaulted to ipxe boot menu and we have lost these options that had been created. I have a couple of questions around this:

1. Is it possible to copy the old iso’s for bios editor etc that where used for pxelinux.0 to new tftp folder and use for undionly.kpxe ?

2. Is the process for undionly.kpxe the same in which you still need to have a folder called pxelinux.cfg within the tftpboot folder or is now different?

If any one could shed some light on this I would be grateful as I have read around the forum and other forums and am a bit confused to the process around this.

Thank you
Scott
