Issues with FOG services
-
@andreiv From the log this looks pretty good. Maybe there is just one of the clients missing? You schedule a task for 19 machines. Are you absolutely sure all 19 come up to the blue screen? It doesn’t start if just a single one is missing.

Sorry for the late reply…
Yes, I triple-checked. All machines were connected and waiting. But I have an idea to why this is happening. I’ll test it as soon as I can and get back with the results. -
These instructions have fixed this problem lots of times: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_Downloading_-_Multicast#Clear_DB_of_non-essential_multicast_data

Yes, I am almost sure that that is the problem. There are “leftover” tasks and this is related to an issue I reported in another thread, the fact that checking the “Schedule Shutdown after task completion” causes the task to hang (remain unfinished).
The next time I have to deploy I am going to do a test and deploy twice, once with that checkbox checked and once unchecked and I am going to capture a video of the last steps of the process on the client, to see what happens. -
@andreiv So were you able to make it work again??
-
@sebastian-roth Yes, but the my solution was to reinstall FOG. I didn’t know about the solution you mentioned. The reinstall also seems to solve the problem.
-
@andreiv Don’t think a re-install would have cleared the left over entries in the DB. At least not that I am aware of. Tom would know better though. I’ll mark this solved anyway.

That feature doesn’t work for you?

Please do.

The FOG Installer does not DELETE anything from the DB at all. The most it even does is A). Make a new database or B ). Upgrade an older schema database to the latest schema.
A little fog history:
There’s a great number of problems that re-running the installer will FIX though. FTP Passwords are one I pushed hard and helped with. So if the FTP passwords (storage management node passwords used for FTP purposes) are not correct for a node, all kinds of crap breaks in FOG and tons of people were needing help diagnosing & fixing that, so we changed the fog installer to just fix it every single time for all storage node Addresses that match the local machine’s address. This fixed the FTP password problem basically instantly for both master nodes and storage nodes for everyone. -
@andreiv I moved your last post to here since it’s a separate issue that you found: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11157/checking-schedule-shutdown-after-task-completion-causes-the-running-task-to-hang/2 Please follow it there.
