Update::
Almost there, I got 1.3.0 RC11 installed and configured /etc/dhcp/dhcp.conf and static IP for a isolated network.
MBR partition with traditional /dev/sdX) works fine.
Now testing with LEnovo X1 Carbon Gen 4 with UEFI only with GPT partitions on NVME SSDs
Results:
PXE over IPv4 looks promising, it sees the FOG server but It stops at
“bzImage… ok
init.xz… ok”
I will need to search the forum against
“waiting for link-up on net0… Down (http://ipxe.org/38086193)”
Not yet. I will confirm once completed.
At the moment I am trying to configure 1.3.0 RC11 on an isolated network like I have done for my 1.2.0 Stable.
I feel like PacMan ever dot is a new obstacle . Will report back
Re: HP Z640 - NVME PCI-E Drive
Hate to be the guys that tries to revive an old topic, but before I open a new tread I will like to see if I can ask questions on this first.
I have a Lenovo x1 Carbon that does BIO and UEFI that uses NVMe SSDs (PCIE 3.0 x4)
Using the stable 1.2.0 (I don’t mind trying 1.3.0 just started learning this system a week ago)
Kernel 3.19.3
init.xz init_32.xz Default
Everytime I deploy a new machine it states that the machine has no OS. I assume it is the way I am uploading the image.
My question is, is there a way to capture with UEFI only? and is there any changes I need to make to support NVME drives, as I did notice my disk label is nvme0n1p1 and nvme0n1p2
Please note I have a server running with identical set up with regular SSD with MBR partition versus GPT on these nvme drives.
I think I understand, I will play around. I’m glad I used norton to capture an image prior so my didn’t lose an data really.
Also this maybe a bit off topic, but I wanted to share this on the forums, it would seem a machine registration is based on its MAC address it would appear.
What i find interesting is that Lenovo X1 Carbons (Gen 1 - 4) do not have ethernet ports, it used a proprietary connector OR a USB3.0 ethernet adapter that have a MAC id on them. So when I use the same ethernet adapter FOG sees it as the same registered host. I
So it seems like host is the image and not so much the actual machine itself then?
Quick simple (I hope question)
Machine “A” = registered hostname “A” is loaded with image “img_A”
Lets say:
Img_A is windows 7
Img_B is Windows 10
If I wanted to load a new image say “img_B” into machine A and capture it, do I have to unregister the machine first?
I would seem the what I just experienced was
Machine" A" with “img_A” (with Windows 7) was captured and saved on fog. So img_A = Windows 7
Install “img_B” (with Windows 10) on to machine “A”, then attempt to capture the image.
Result. img_A is now Windows 10 and img_B has zero Data.
Did I miss a step in the process?
So bzImage32 is the 32 bit and 64 = bzImage. Since I was able to clone the image.
I found that using the Lenovo X1 Carbon 4th Gen with Kernel 3.19.2/3 resolved my issue, “Attempting to inventory…”
Thanks George!
If I download the kernels (https://fogproject.org/kernels/) and download say 4.1.2.32, should I rename it as bzImage32 (32 being 32 bit) and 64bit is just bzImage ?
sorry about that so i got 1.2.0.
Thank you.
Sorry if this has been asked but google search as well as here has returned with 0 hits.
Ubuntu 14.04.5 (on a X1 Carbon Gen 3)
I followed the isolated network instructions (https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_on_an_Isolated_Network)
My question is how do I update the kernel, i understand if this was on the network with internet access it would download and install automagically via the GUI, but I was wonder:
Where to download kernels.
How to install kernels manually either GUI or Terminal.
Thank you.
