Thank you for quickly reply. I realize how the fog server works now.
But I still have some questions.
Without using the resizeable option, is Fog server still able to deploy Windows 10 to a smaller hard drive?
For example, if I make a clone A from client A is 500 GB hard drive with Windows 10 operating system, and I select the non-resizeable option. Can I still use clone A to deploy another client B with 250 GB hard drive?
Is there anyway to get working around with this problem?
I do not want to waste the space on the hard drive.
Thank you
Hello, Everyone
Here is some of my system’s background
Client computer:
HP EliteBook Laptop with Window 7 64bit (Works)
DELL Vostro 3540 Laptop with Windows 10 64 bit (Failed)
Fog Server computer:
Desktop with Ubuntu 14.04
Fog Server version: 1.2.0
I recently sucessfully upload and download the Windows 7 from the client without any problems.
I got another client run Windows 10 and I did a little bit search on forum that Fog1.2.0 is able to deploy Windows 10 with option of Windows 7.
However, I only got those 275MB in the server and those files in the /images
Is there anyone know what is that ?
Note: This problem exist with my Windows 7 client before, but an reinstall fix it. Win10_Test is the file I upload from the client,
Please ignore Think_Image.
Let me know if I need to provide any other information.
Thank you.
Hi,
Sorry about the late reply.
I resolve the problem by reinstall the fog server as my supervisor impose my computer for emergency usage so he wipe out all the drives.
I will try to test other method and if I have further questions I will post on the forum.
Thank you everyone.
There is no error, however it seems that the fog server only deploy the “system reserve partition” (275MB) to the new drive without the entire Windows 7.
True. I should double check my later one. It’s only 250 GB and my original one is 400GB.
Is there anyway to overcome it? I tried the resizeable option, however the fog server only make the image of System Reserve (around 275MB) from my client computer
Thank you @Uncle-Frank and @Hanz .
Sorry about the misunderstanding @Uncle-Frank , I reboot my laptop again and get in to the debug mode and type in the command
fogpartinfo --list-parts /dev/sda
All I got is this message
Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
Hi, @Uncle-Frank . Here is what I got from the client computer after I deploy a debug task from my fog server.
After I run the commnad fogpartinfo
Thank you everyone,
Sorry about the confusion. I upload the client’s image first on to the fog server and pull out the original hard drive from the laptop then puts a formatted new empty disk into it.
@Uncle-Frank Thank you for your explanation.
I have those files in the /images/HPEliteBookGFLAP84
and here is my d1.mbr file
Sorry, I should state clear
Here is my background info
Client computer:
HP EliteBook Laptop with Window 7 64bit
Fog Server computer:
Desktop with Ubuntu 14.04
Fog Server version: 1.2.0
The “BOOTMGR is missing” message display after I finish download the windows 7 image and reboot my client computer.
Those are the steps that I went through
create task at Fog GUI to deploy the window 7 image to the client computer. (Around 15 GB on the server)
restart client computer to get into network boot
Client computer get into normal process
Then the client shut down itself. It didn’t continute to process any further
I reboot the client computer, then the error message pops out
Hello everyone,
I successfully upload the windows 7 image from the client side (Laptop) to the fog server (Linux Ubuntu 14.04 Choosing Multiple Partition Image Single Disk (Not Resizable)
Then I swap another new “formatted” hard drive to the client side then try to deploy the windows 7 image which I create earlier on it.
However, The error massage pops out said “BOOTMGR is missing”.
I did some research that I might need to run Fogprep and sysprep. (Although this step might only suitable for under fog 0.32)
I ran the sysprep then there is another error massage pops out “Fatal error occurred while trying to sysprep the machine”
I tried to modified “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\SysprepStatus to 7”, it didn’t work.
And I can’t find any “unattend.xml” file in the sysprep folder.
Any advice can be helpful.
If you need more details about my hardware, software, OS, config. Please let me know, I will update as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Hello, Everyone.
Here comes the update
I tried to restart the tftp whcih @Tom Elliott mentioned below.
I did edit my dhcp config just the exactly the same as @Wayne-Workman 's reply below.
And I also add one more line refer from @Uncle-Frank 's reply below.
I tried those methods separately, but didn’t work out well.
However, when I combine those methods together. Fog server finally run and I can upload and download images to the machine now.
Thank you everyone who contributes in this post.
Note: there is a login fail problem with this particular setting. To resolve this issue, change your password through the database to modify your password.
Thank you guys
Here is the file from the WireShark from the very beginning of the connect to “Network Not Found” display on the screen
I tried your methods, I mark out the line of option tftp-server-name. As a result, “TFTP timeout-PXE-E32” display on the screen and “Network Not Found” display on the screen
Hi, Everyone
I try to construct an isolated network using ubuntu 14.04.3 desktop version with FOG 1.2.0
When I attempted to connect to the fogserver from my client computer, it show me those text
After this screen show up, it display “No network found” and enter into the Windows desktop screen.
Hardware List:
Ubuntu 14.04.3 desktop version installed on one desktop
Windows 7 Client HP EliteBook
Connect two of them using a Trendnet Gigabit Switch TEG-S80g on an isolated network
I will also provide my installation steps below
Install Ubuntu 14.04.3
Finish the upgrade
Install FOG 1.2.0 (Using “FOG on an Isolated Network”)
IP address : 192.168.1.1
Using the fog server for dhcp service
Update the database on the Fog Web GUI
In the Fog Web GUI,
*Go to FOG Configuration/FOG Settings/ TFTP Server
Set FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME: fog
FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD: fog
*Go to Storage management
Edit DefaultMember
Set Management Username: fog
Management Password: fog
Then edit /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php (see below) to edit the credential same as the credential in Web Gui.
**Here goes the troubleshooting: **
1. I disabled the firewall.
2. Check the TFTP Service:
execute -> sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd status
I do not know how to read that information, but it stated the tftp service is running
execute -> sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
3. TFTP Settings file:
4. DHCP Setting file: (/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf):
5. Network Connection:
Connection Name: Wired connection 1 (Manual)
Address : 192.168.1.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
6. I also set the Permissions for server to grab the file
ls -laR /tftpboot
chmod -R 777 /tftpboot
After those steps and follow the troubleshooting guide “Unable to connect to TFTP” from FOG Wiki.
The problem still there, I have no idea how to resolve it.
Please give me some advices or let me know what distribution of Linux might work the best for FOG server.
If anyone successfully install the fog server on isolated network environment, please provide me the correct steps for installation.
I’m appreciate. Thank you
