I will post a detailed report once I actually complete both processes. I have completed my image upload and as soon as it says upload complete, I get an “Unable to find a valid task id based on client mac address and it just keeps scrolling.” Is this normal? I am going to try to deploy this image if that is normal

Ok… Just wanted to give an update… After a lot of changes and troubleshooting and much much thanks to Jaymes and Tom… I am finally able to upload my first image. Fingers crossed I am at 17% upload… Next will be the deploy.

Ok… After some assistance from Jaymes I am now able to do an inventory, however when it tries to uploade the image it says can’t find image store.

I have completely rebuilt the Ubuntu and the Fog server. So I am getting closer to uploading an image…

Pls Advise

Thanks in advance.

I have done this twice… Thinking it is a configuration issue or I missed something during the setup. I am new to both Fog and Ubuntu. Both times I have blown away the system and the fog… First time I was able to get an inventory of the same machine, but it wouldn’t pull the image… This time I can’t even get it to do the inventory.

I was able to restart the service. It went back to doing the same original issue. So I changed the files again, restarted the server, restarted the services, with changed files and still will not register the host.

This is not working out to well.

Now I am getting an unrecognized service.

I changed it back and now it is still crapping out on the TFTP… The database name and password are correct… Can you post an image of what both of those files should look like so I have something to compare it to…

Thanks

Tom

After I changed the MYSQL_Host variable to the IP address it now when I try to PXE boot times out at the TFTP portion of the PXE boot… It pulls but doesn’t go past that stage.

Thanks

Tom
I found in the /var/www/fog/commons/config.php the MYSQL_Host was set to “localhost”. I changed the “localhost” to the IP address of the server and rebooting. I just want to confirm that is the correct change for the MYSQL_Host variable.

Thanks

I checked the /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php and noticed that the SQL username was blank… Should Root be added here?

Tom… How can I test that?

Jaymes… No I do not have any machines currently I can test. I have 40 z210’s that need imaged and I am hoping to get this solution working. I have heard great things about FOG so I figured I would give it a try.

Brand new install… Ubuntu 12.4 lts with 0.32

Here is an image of the file.

I opened the prelinux.cfg/default file and found web=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fog/ in three locations. Any other suggestions?

Tom the system did reply with a Pass, Pass on the system compatibility test. What would you suggest next?

Fantastic… I will try this tomorrow, once I am back on-site!

I am using Fog_0.32 downloaded it this morning.

How do I do a compatibility check?

I will give another follow up tomorrow. I am currently at another client site.

Thanks for your rapid response!

I am very new to Fog, but understand this a fantastic product with a little tweeking.
I am trying to do an initial inventory and upload of an HP Z210 with Win 7 Pro.

Steps I have done to this point:

1. Installed the Fog Client and win7 cleint on the machine.
2. I have setup the image directory in the image management section of the webgui.
3. I have rebooted the target machine and IT boots to PXE, gives me the options of what I want to do. I select “Perform Full Host Registration and Inventory”
4. It starts the inventory process but displays some errors but passes on to the next step of doing the inventory.
5. It displays the computer information and then just keeps scrolling at the trying to upload inventory section with no progress bar or notification that it is doing anything.

Here are a few of the errors that I was able to catch during the process.

1. Unable to register the host for the following reason: Inappropriate hparm ioct 0x304.
2. unknown bios version Hewelett-Packard/HP-Z210. v01,35, please report, aborting.

I have tried using different kernel’s but haven’t had success…

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

Pls keep in mind… I am only 2 days in as a FOG user!
