This sure resembles the issue where someone changes the linux user fog’s password, or they are using this linux user fog for system administration.

I do have a tutorial on how to resync the linux user fog so you can get past this step: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11203/resyncing-fog-s-service-account-password

Understand this is for the linux user fog that is FOG’s service account not the webui default admin by the same name.

It’s there now and working. It was not there on Friday, on any of the pages. Not sure if you guys did a refresh or anything like that, but it’s working just fine now. Thanks a bunch!

I got it sorted out by mistake (i hit enter to early while trying to enter MariaDBs shell - without a password). I entered a mysql password during installation, but it seems like this didn’t get set in MariaDB. I started MariaDB as root with no password entered and could then change the root passwort to what it was supposed to be.

@george1421 @jgiovann I just updated the wiki article. dnsmasq 2.76 is now available in most distros (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS 7, …), so I moved the part about compiling it far down.

@Raymond-Bell said in TFTP Server:

It was that ATA… Sorry for all the trouble guys

That is why we are here to help. I’m glad you have it worked out. Something simple, but it caused you so much problems. On the plus side you are now on 1.5.5 with all of the fixes, so you are in a better place than when you started the day.

@quinniedid Thanks for your help. You guys are the best!

It is now working. I think I found the issue. I was using the Smartinstaller my old server generated. It used the same IP address and hardware, so I didn’t think it’d be a problem.

Hi again,

Only for give more information about this in a huge scenario. In our case the FOGPingHosts service give 4 hours and 30 minutes, more or less, to do ping to all clients.

Capture of the traffic in one client:

@bmick10 So now that you have it configured to not restart when the system is that’s good. Now just make sure the settings are correct in your .fogsettings file so that the dhcp server isn’t reenabled when you update FOG.

@msi Just to let you know, we have worked on the replication code and fixed a couple of issues. The new release is on the door step and should work fairly well.

We’ll put that into the release notes as well but just to let you know beforehand:
Nodes being on different versions (1.5.4 vs. 1.5.5) will replicate images over and over again as some of the hashing code needed to be changed. Therefore we advise you to update all nodes in one go! Please make sure you stop replication on the master first (systemctl stop FOGImageReplicator), then update the storage node(s) and then update master node as a last step.

@Scott-Adams Thanks Scott. That seemed to work with my initial test. I will test it again later this afternoon. I’m surprised that the service in the base image would impact the deployed host.

Thanks

@Baessens Ahhh, I just had one more idea. Please run fdisk -l /dev/sda and post a picture as well. Possibly this is a sector size issue.

I got it figured out. As I was staring at the error message, it occurred to me I was blaming the computer and not really giving thought to the server itself. Anyway, upon digging I found the .mntcheck file was missing from it was supposed to be, so a couple of touch commands later and we are off an running.

Thanks for the help.

This was weird but I think it’s solved now. It didn’t matter which method I chose it would always give me the SAN error. I decided to reboot the server after current images finished. Then the error messages started to change. This now works with the REFINED_EFI method. I’m not sure why it didn’t want to update the method I chose but updating the server seemed to have kick what was stuck in it’s settings.

@fognerval It really depends on what this means “after several changes to have the tftpd and http boot I am stuck” What was changed from the fog default install.

Also please answer the other questions I asked. We need to get the full picture of what you are tying to pxe boot and what might have changed by you from the default fog installation.

Did you touch/change the FOG/FOS kernels or inits? I’m not talking about Ubuntu but the FOG supplied target boot kernels.

@george1421 Thank you thank you!!! that worked you are a legend mate ! Its all running!

@Sebastian-Roth said in Replication Issue:

max_per_ip=200

Changes in the conf done, will let the rep job running 2 full rounds and edit this post with the results.

“Seems like the default of 50 is not enough for the amount of images you have” yeah, as I said in the chat, here we use fog A LOT, bout 7 diferent images in frequent use and others 4 used from time to time. F* good tool indeed. hahaha

Edit: Hell yeah! running like a charm! 3 rounds of rep job so far, no mismatch, no max conn reach… beautiful

tks dude! Appreciate ur suport!

Are you saying you have the same error and it was fixed by disabling dhcp-snooping on the switch? I’m just trying to understand the context here.

@Sebastian-Roth

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your kind reply.

@Sebastian-Roth

Dear Sir(Sebastian-Roth),

I understood (Not Everything) what you explained about My Questions…

You explained that not to define DNS Address in My Network Scenario…
But I already defined it with this Address10.10.1.2

Now Whether it is possible to remove it OR let it be as it is…?

Kind Hardheartedly Thank you For In Time Help…

Kind Regards,

Basavaraj, From India.
