Just thinking out of the box here, but would be nice to have software deployments that can possibly use the host Tags as variables. One case may be using other IT Management software that uses location ID’s or machine ID’s that could tie installing the software needed to the ID.

i just deleted the config and re-ran the installer. Took a backup of the database and restored…
No biggie.

Host Tags can include items that might pertain to other systems. Take for example Labtech Software. They use a System ID as well as a location ID, that can be used to identify agent installers by, or if your integrating links you can use that for external management links that might include Remote Control etc.

Now to install the management tools I have to create packages that are specific to the location, download them and then upload into a snapin of Fog. That is unless I have a generic Agent installer that I can pass an argument to like setup.exe /AgentLocID=<FogHostTag>

@george1421 I was able to add a TP-Link TG-3468 Card to the server and it worked.
The trick for anyone following or finding this thread will be to be patient and let the server go though both integrated nic’s failing to bring link up. Once it hits the 3rd nic the system will boot.

@Tom-Elliott is it possible to add the broadcom NetXtreme drivers?

Thank you,
I believe that some workstations use the Broadcom NetXtreme I and NetXtreme II based adapters, I would thing it would already be built into the Kernel.

What if I grab an older intel nic?

Thanks as always @george1421 Where would I upload this firmware if I can find one already compiled?

Good Day,

Fog Version: 1.5.2
Kernel 4.16.6

I have a Dell R510 that I am trying to PXE boot and getting the error:
CAT: /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier: Invalid Argument

Anyone having issues with this hardware?

Running on RC10, Linux Ubuntu.

Based on what I am seeing George all of our systems are giving a Server error 500. So its seeming like Apache is crashing. The Log file confirms this.

Hey guys all of our Fog servers this am have this issue of input/output error. One of them I did a reinstall and it worked. What would cause 4 different networks to have the same problem?

This ticket can be marked as solved. Just need to make sure documentation for RC10 is up to date as there is a problem with the link.

Ah… ok checked that path HTML/fog/service/ipxe and bingo… the files do not exist.
Copied the files and boom they work.

Thanks @george1421 for the response. The Log does not provide any clue.

I did not think of renaming the existing bg.png to bg3.png, however in just testing this it did not work. Same error.
