Hi,

add /images_d2 as a storage node, keep the configuration same as default storage node except the path.

Hi,

today i made a testrange with some tasks (fog 0.32, ubuntu 12.04):
[LIST]
[]The machines always wake up if they where properly shutdown by the os and i try to send a wake up over advanced tasks.
[]The machines always wake up if i trigger to make an image immediately
[]The machines never wake up if i schedule the image task
[]The machines never wake up if i use cron jobs (also the cron job is not created crontab always empty) i’ve checked the crontab for all existing users! crontab -u user -l…
[/LIST]
Is there anyone out there who has imaging working with scheduled or cron tab tasks?
Howto debug why this is not working, it’s a pain i left all problems behind but this damn wol thing isn’t working.

And it’s not a switch problem, or a not properly shutdowned machine! Like i said immediately tasks always wake up machines properly but only then!

Please help or assist to debug

Hi,

please try this kernel:
[url]http://www.multiupload.nl/PSRQ39J52A[/url]

It has the HP Smart Array Controller driver included.
Good Luck!

Hi,

HP uses the Smart Array Controllers in their server systems, the driver is not enabled by default in the kernel!

If you cannot compile one by your own i can do that for you.

Hi,

what about deleting the file called like the mac number of the computer in the tftp root folder?
Is there one?

Hi,

simply create an image of the server, my storage node is not on the same machine like fog and it’s a high available machine with most redundancies so normally the storage it selfs doesn’t need any backup.

So prefer to Backup the complete FOG OS is what i would do.

Hi,

a tutorial done under windows but similar to linux:
[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/how-to-setup-a-fog-storage-node-without-installing-fog.4294/[/url]

Hi,

in case of windows:

actual computername:
[CODE]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName[/CODE]
env variable:
[CODE]hostname[/CODE]
or
[CODE]%COMPUTERNAME%[/CODE]

doing with the registry…
[QUOTE]REG QUERY /?
REG ADD /?
REG DELETE /?
REG COPY /?
REG SAVE /?
REG RESTORE /
REG LOAD /?
REG UNLOAD /?
REG COMPARE /
REG EXPORT /?
REG IMPORT /?[/QUOTE]

[CODE]@echo off
set newhname=%COMPUTERNAME%
FOR /F “tokens=3 skip=2” %%i IN (‘REG QUERY “HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\Computername” /v ComputerName’) DO SET oldhname=%%i
if %newhname% EQU %oldhname% goto donothing
REG ADD HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName /v ComputerName /t REG_SZ /d %newhname%
:donothing[/CODE]

Hi,

another suggestion: why not writing a simple script for each machine (deployed by whatever)
that checks the actual real hostname against that one in the registry?

If you need that in place of a shutdown because the registry change is only confirmed by a restart
then look around howto execute something before a shutdown.

Hi,

[quote=“ttcircus, post: 12489, member: 984”]Any chance you could share that kernel?[/quote]
sure…
[url]http://www.multiupload.nl/UOQVLDZ7XB[/url]
Let me know if you had success and gimme the specs of your system not working (hw).
Which core.config did u used?
this one?: [url]http://freeghost.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freeghost/trunk/kernel/core.config[/url]

Hi,

it is working now, the problem was the nvidia driver like i already wrote i just forgot the disable the nuovo nvidia driver.
The machine with the C600 SAS Controller is now working. Yeahaaaa

Greetz X23

Hi,

it’s a bit boring, now with latest stable 3.9.4 with latest core.config (just added c600 driver) i get a kernel panic

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/eMo7BMd.jpg[/IMG]

If i try the latest release candidates rc2 or rc3 it works but cannot mount nfs but this is not a nfs server problem older kernels are working there must be something wrong with nfs support or the core.config.

I will not longer try to make it running until someone more skilled could help me i don’t have any more fun with that damn thing.

EDIT:

Stupid me i forgot to disable the nvidia driver, because it will not work with a quadro 4000, will try and report back.

Hi,

[quote=“ttcircus, post: 12469, member: 984”]…are you by any chance trying to use fog on a HP z820 or something similar?[/quote]

i have the following hw:

HP 6005, 6305 and 8000
Lenovo Notebooks a hand full of different series

The Kernel i compiled today (linux 3.9.4 latest stable and latest core.config) couldn’t be tested today, i will try it tomorrow and report back.

Hi,

[quote=“Kingtut343, post: 12459, member: 4069”]Dont know if this helps, but I figured I would share[/quote]

i’ve tried that and i have the same problem, also i wrote with the standard kernel it works so this must be a kernel nfs problem.
Iam actually compiling a new 3.9.4 stable kernel with the latest core.config.

Any way thanks for your idea

I will report back if this is working!

Hi,

iam using a very extended default pxe file, if someone is interested i will post i completely.
I used PXE also before FOG to boot serveral ISO’s and tool’s

If you enter my PXE Menu the first thing is a prompt where you will have to enter an administration password to go on, else a timer 5 seconds is starting and starting again and will finally boot the default hdd.

If you enter the psw correctly the menu presents all my entry’s and subentrys

Hi,

latest core.config:

Hi,

create a md5 checksum:
[CODE]md5sum filename[/CODE]

find the matching md5 checksum here:
[url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/Kernels/[/url]

click on a kernel version then click the (i)nformation icon you will then see two checksum’s sha1 and md5:

Hi,

thomas the information with ftp was something additional and will not fix the permission denied problem.
Also your nfs share has to be accessible without any credentials.

Hi,

@MOD (Staff) can this thread maybe moved to tutorials beginning from post #5,
with a redirecting link within this thread? @Ozzy would this be ok for you?

Edit: latest core.config:
[url]http://freeghost.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freeghost/trunk/kernel/core.config[/url]
