Upgrade to 1.x.x

Overview

NOTE: 1.x.x is a, nearly, complete rewrite from previous versions of FOG. There may be issues when upgrading from past revisions of FOG so please backup your installation before upgrading!

• Migration for v0.32 to version v1.x.x will cause you to loose the operation system information that was associated with your hosts. This information has been moved to the image item now, so you will need to update all your images to set the appropriate operating system! Please see the Migration Instructions section below for more information.

• Many successful upgrades from v0.32 have occurred. It is possible to upgrade from v0.1 all the way to v1.x.x.

---

• All commands are assumed to be run as root. If you don't have access to root, prepend the installation with sudo (ex.

sudo svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/tags/1.2.0 /opt/fog_1.2.0

sudo ./installfog.sh

Migration Upgrade

• Requirements

1. Old Server with 0.32 installed
2. New Server with your choice flavor of Linux

• If using a VM please create a second VM to serve as the second server

Prepare for install

• On the Old Server

1. Backup old database

   • mysqldump --opt -u'root' [-p'passwordhere' #only if password set] fog > fog_backup.sql

   • NOTE: There is no space between -u and root also -p and password, also the name and password are wrapped with quotes. In the case a single quote is used in your password, replace the current single quotes with double quotes. If there is both a double and single quote (for whatever reason) in the password, you will need to escape the appropriate quote [ the one matching the quotes wrapping the entire field ] with a backslash (e.g. \ )
   • DO NOT tar ball or gz
2. Save file to an easily up-loadable location

• As far as the old server is concerned your done with this machine.

• To do so, login to the FOG GUI and navigate to the Image Management Page. Click on each of your images and set the OSID accordingly.

Change your DHCP Option 67

1. Go to your DHCP server and change your Option 67 from pxelinux.0 to undionly.kpxe (or other iPXE file)
