Update, we’re up to 1.4.4. I think, however, the plugin issue was addressed in the RC’s (maybe? I forget now).

RE: Windows 10 1703 won't boot on SANBOOT
@crbarahona Is the OS configured as a Legacy (MBR) style image or is it configured as a UEFI style image? It, at least seems, to me to be Legacy style windows image as you are using the SANBOOT/GRUB_FIRST_HDD to work on both 1604 and 1703, but it almost sounds like 1703 is forcing some form of UEFI stack to the disk. (Maybe 1703 is changing the disk to a “dynamic” disk changing how the disk is partitioned without losing the data.) – (Doubt it as changing to GRUB works okay – then again GRUB is a proper bootloader and might not be hitting the constraints the bios is handing out as iPXE could be).
I really don’t want to think this is an iPXE issue considering the iPXE code did not change one bit. If it were an iPXE specific issue, the problem should be present on the same system regardless of what OS you deploy/use on it. The only variable that’s changed here is the OS on the client machine so it must be something that OS is doing.
The next question is more direct, I think.
If you deploy the 1604 image to a machine, boot into Windows, then deploy the 1703 image to the machine is this issue immediate? (When the machine reboots after the post deploy does it boot into windows or is it immediately broken?)
If it boots into windows 1703 and then fails on any subsequent reboots I would think there’s something Windows is doing regarding firmware which could be causing the problem. (It could even be something like the firmware to the NIC changing how iPXE is passing to SANBOOT, meaning iPXE might be able to do something to check and fix this.)
If it doesn’t boot immediately following deployment, then I believe the issue is how the disk is “laid” out.
I know there’s a lot of information here, just trying to get a full picture.

RE: Login / Update Buttons not working
Now that I understand the full scope of the problem, I more clearly was able to take and fix this issue. Login should’ve worked for any page but it was loading page specific js code even when no user was logged in. I have since corrected this in working branch.

RE: Hyper-V Virtual Machine (gen 1) hangs with "Booting from SAN device 0x80"
Is this “new vm in hyper-v” setup as Generation 2? Is it defined to boot in UEFI mode?
Have you tried rEFInd?

RE: Can I use some kind of script to create image and ghost my lab machines
@andrewg78 I don’t think you need the
--data '{"taskTypeID": 8}'
though it shouldn’t really matter. Is there any return output from the command losing teh --silent component should show you what’s going on more directly.Something like:
curl -vvv -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'fog-api-token: <my_token>' -H 'fog-user-token: <my_token>' http://<IP>/fog/group/3/task -X POST --data '{"taskTypeID": 8}'

RE: Can I use some kind of script to create image and ghost my lab machines
@andrewg78 Why don’t you try what I suggested?
curl -vvv -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'fog-api-token: <my_token>' -H 'fog-user-token: <my_token>' http://<IP>/fog/group/3/task -X POST --data '{"taskTypeID": 8}'

RE: Changing fog server IP address problems
Your posting here:
http:////fog//maintenance/backup_db.php: Invalid host name.Notice how there’s no hostname?
You should have an ipaddress in your /opt/fog/.fogsettings file. Is this defined for your machine?

RE: Deploying an Image to a Dell Optiplex 7050
x23 remoted in and helped fix a couple minor things in regards to menu.
Talked with OP and found that the 7050 giving issues was not the case for ALL 7050’s. He pulled a different out and all seemed to work fine.

RE: Multicast does not work anymore
I only see one task.
The
systemctl status FOGMulticastManager -l
is outputting all things related to that call.The
php -q /opt/fog/service/FOGMulticastManager/FOGMulticastManager &
lines appears that it started once and restarted it again.The
sh -c /usr/local/sbin/udp-sender
is the process starting the real multicast task itself.The
/usr/local/udp-sender
is the actually running command. -
RE: Best Process for Imaging with USB Nic's
@sebastian-roth said in Best Process for Imaging with USB Nic's:
Download the patched init.xz here to set the UUID in the inventory DB table when registering a client from the FOG menu (this step will be gone very soon)
This portion is no longer needed. Installing the “working” will get you the patched init’s now.

RE: Image Replication not working...
@cojohnson Mind installing the working branch then? There was a problem only fixed in working, I haven’t had a chance yet to make it rc-10. Sorry. I’m 99% sure it will make your replication problems go away.

RE: Problem setting up DBAN menu item.
I should add that the mode of boot really matters a lot here.
DBAN does not have a UEFI bootable setup, so if your machines are booting via EFI/UEFI, then chances are this is part of the problem.
What version of FOG are you running? What does your current menu entry actually look like? What does your DBAN directory structure look like?

RE: 1.5.0-RC9 Image Replication Logs
Please install the working branch.
I’ll try to get an RC 10 out this week when possible. That said, I’m aware of the problem in native RC-9 and I know that this issue has been addressed in the working branch from github.
Thank you,

RE: Deploy problem - Failed to read back partitions
@kubala as you captured the image as multi part all disks, is it possible it can’t put the partition table on the drive because the captured image was a larger drive than the one it’s being deployed to?
