@weidongyan CentOS installs on LVM by default. Unfortunately FOG does not support cloning LVM as of now.

Probably something we can add if you are very keen and help us working on this.

The easier way is to re-install your master without LVM…

Just figure it out. I used dnsmasq and I changed its configuration file to my new ip address and my client computer could boot fog.

We work a lot with scripts, we don’t use msi and exe, all our snapins are developed as scripts, usually powershell for windows and bash scripting for linux, we use sometimes php, python, perl… called from bash a so on.

Check the potential of the scripting for the 2 first points.
And as alternative to deploy software you can work with snapins+chocolatey

On the third point, we use fog snapins to start/stop services, deploy clients etc…

Currently we are using a reversed vnc server deployed/configured/started/stopped/removed as an unattended snapin, where we have firewalls, As GUI we use a Guacamole Gateway with a vnc-proxy, on the other side where we have not firewalls we are using Dameware and RDP to remote control. The services can be controlled with scripted snapins but the clients/servers/proxyes… must be provided as external services.

I only want to add, that with a deep knowledge of the targets, and with a good knowledge about scripting, and if you add a custom/complete toolset around FOG, you can get a pretty and usefull system admin/management environment.

@george1421 thank you for the help.

@weidongyan said in Cannot log into the fog server management:

I changed the fogproject 's password. After changing it, I cannot log into the Web UI any more.

Again you are mixing up two different things here. Please read my last message very carefully.

@george1421 I got some tricky ways to find if dnsmasq is using the configuration that we created. In the directory /etc/dnsmasq.d/, we created the configuration file, but if there is no other file called README, I think dnsmasq did not use the configuration file. But after I updated dnsmasq, there is a new file called README. And it works!!! I am not sure if my thoughts was right. But it got working in my case.

@Sebastian-Roth It works!!! Thank you.

@Sebastian-Roth Hi Sebastian, I reboot the system and now when I enter the command, it prompted ‘Enter password’, I just click enter and now the error came
'ERRO 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO). Because last time I entered some command I found in the internet, I did not want that to influence our process so I reboot. Last time, I restarted MySQL and entered ’ sudo mysqld_safe -skip-grant-tables’

@george1421 Done, hope that’s more obvious now.

@weidongyan said in How to make fog server using my new storage pool:

The storage pool that I created has been mounted.

To which path is it mounted?? As well post the output of the commands George requested!
