Good Morning all,

Currently we have multiple fog servers (1 per site) and I have noticed an issue when trying to deploy an image to OptiPlex 780 machines, we have started noticing that the graphics card is stopping the machine from imaging so it needs to be disconnected , the image completed and reconnected on one of our sites, however on another one of our sites this does not happen, same fog version same machine type same image. is there any way of checking what kernel a server is running as standard so I can replicate it to the other servers to stop this issue, and to also report which kernel is causing this problem

thanks in advance

haha yeah indeed, definitely a setting worth knowing about though. thanks again for all your help tom + Community

hey guys, thanks again for all your help,

we have found that within the fog web interface under:-
Other information -> Fog settings -> TFTP Server -> FOG_PXE_IMAGE_DNSADDRESS
was incorrect due to the change, after changing this to the correct address fog is now up and running.

[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 24848, member: 3582”]If your tftp command comes back as successful, then the server is operating normally, and the problem lies in the environment.

Try setting up the dnsmasq service to dole out proxydhcp information, it can sometimes help in getting your pxelinux file where it needds to be by supplying the tftpboot information that the clients need. I use this in my environment set ups and it solves the issues you are experiencing.[/quote]

Hi Jaymes, thanks for your help and input, unfortunately im not much of a Linux user really just trying to get the fog server up and running again haha, how would I go about doing this dnsmasq service? also is the pxelinux.0 file editable ? what is actually in that file?

Hi all,

Thanks in advance for your help, ive tried the tftp -I and its come back successful. and ive checked ports 66 and 67 are both correct. is there anything else that I will need to check?

hi tom, ive tried running that command from the DHCP Server and it comes back failed, is that definately the command that needs to be used?

the dhcp server install part of setup was not done.

hey tom, thanks for your help, however the name of our dhcp server has changed aswell as the ip address to it. that is the information im trying to track down on the fog server but my knowledge is quite limited on linux

Hi all, been using this software for a little while and its brilliant, however the guys i work with have for some unknown reason completely messed up our DHCP Server and had to rebuild a new one with new information etc.

Since then the fog server has not worked, i have set up dhcp reservation and sorted out ports 066 and 067, however i do remember the initial installation for fog required details of the DHCP Server information,

does anyone know where that information is stored and if it can be changed to accomodate a new DHCP Server?

thanks in advance
