Hello all, I am running an Ubuntu 11.10 FOG Server with Virtual Machines on it (the VMs act as FOG clients). I am having trouble deploying FOG images. I think I was able to upload the images to FOG just fine (Raw Image). But when I try to deploy the images, FOG simply takes a few seconds, says that it was completed, and the VM having the image deployed reboots. But the image never gets deployed. Why could this be happening? Could there be something wrong with how I am trying to upload the images in the first place? In FOG I am not playing with Active Directory yet; I am simply uploading the images and trying to deploy them. And I have tried this on multiple VMs (both Linux and Windows 2008) - same results. Can you think of why this problem may be happening? Thank you so much, MrC921 EDIT: I have tried running a Fast Wipe on the VM before deploying an image to it. This does not fix my issue.

Thanks, guys. Well, I can access the FOG configuration just fine (by entering its IP address into a browser). My concern is that with this problem, I will not be able to register any additional hosts because they will not boot to PXE. When I installed the FOG server, I chose to make the server act as a DHCP Server. In VirtualBox, I configured the FOG clients to have bridged network connections, and that allowed PXE boot to work. I made absolutely no changes to the VirtualBox settings before PXE stopped working; the only thing that happened was rebooting the computer. I've just run a "ps -A" command in the Terminal. These FOG processes are running: "FOGImageReplica[tor?]", "FOGMulticastMan[ager?]," and "FOGTaskSchedule[r?]." So it appears that FOG is indeed running. PXE boot is just not working. Edit: Sorry, I neglected to mention that I configured no TFTP server. I just find it strange that FOG worked perfectly until I just restarted the computer.

Hello all, I am new to the FOG imaging platform and want to learn how to use it. I have set up my FOG Server on an Ubuntu computer. Using VirtualBox I have created two other Ubuntu virtual machines (on the same computer) which are supposed to use PXE to boot to the FOG server. This worked perfectly a few days ago. The VMs PXE-booted just fine, allowing me to register them with the FOG Server. But I have since rebooted the FOG Server, and this does not work anymore. The VMs try to PXE-boot, but this fails and then they boot from their virtual hard disks. This issue happened earlier. To fix that I uninstalled and reinstalled FOG, thinking it was not related to rebooting. Why would simply restarting the computer cause this problem? How can I get PXE to work again and how can I prevent a reboot from crashing FOG? Thanks a ton, MrC921
