Location Plugin not working correctly

[hummela]

We are currently running the latest dev-branch FOG server 1.5.10.1629 on Ubuntu Server 20.04.6 LTS.

We have seven FOG Nodes added to the system and we have seven locations defined in the locations tab. I cannot seem to assign a location to a storage node anymore. When we first installed the servers, everything went well. We lost a hard drive in a server and had to rebuild it. After reconnecting the storage node to the FOG server, it pulls images as expected, but I cannot assign that location to the storage node.

When I select the correct storage node and click Update on the location, it gives a success message, but listing all locations just returns a * indicating that it will pull from any node, which is not good for us as these are on different WAN links.

I also cannot seem to add a new location. Attempting to add a new location gives me the same success message, but it does not show up in the list of locations.

Is there any way to edit the database to assign this storage node to the location?

@hummela You may need to uninstall and reinstall the location plugin (maybe having to recreate the locations too unfortunately.)

I’m only guessing, but there are things added to plugins DB stuff but no real way to tell plugins that a schema to its db is needed first.

I suspect it’s likely surrounding the newer “protocol” feature of locations.

Yep, that certainly worked. We were avoiding that just so we did not lose all of the location associations that the hosts already had, but if this solves the issue, we will plow through it.

Thanks for the info! This took care of the issue.
