Unable to determine best node for transfer

[Ethaan268]

Hello everybody,

First, I will ask you to be lenient with me and my english because I’m a french student …
So I’m in course training in a University and I have to make a FOG server to deploy system image in computer room.

All is right until today where I meet a problem: my pxe boot is good, I made a task on my FOG server and on the screen of my client, I have this error message: "Cheking Queue … Done
Using Storage Node … TFTP
Mounting File System …Failed

mount: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused
mount: mounting 127.0.0.1:/images on /images failed: Bad file descrption

Cheking Queue … Done
Unable to determine best node for transfer !

Storage node: TFTP is open, but has recently failed.
Unable to determine best node for transfer !"

My differents config files:

/etc/exports:
“/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)
/images/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)”

/var/lib/fog/commons/config.php:
“define( “STORAGE_FTP_USERNAME”, “fog” );
define( “STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD”, “root” );
define( “STORAGE_DATADIR”, “/images/” );
define( “STORAGE_DATADIR_UPLOAD”, “/images/dev/” );”
define( “MYSQL_HOST”, “localhost” );
define( “MYSQL_DATABASE”, “fog” );
define( “MYSQL_USERNAME”, “root” );
define( “MYSQL_PASSWORD”, “root” );

My config on FOG server:

Storage Management:
“Storage Node Name: TFTP
IP Address 127.0.0.1
Is Master Node check
Storage Group default
Image location /images/
Is enabled check
Management username fog
Management password root”

Fog Settings, FOG Storage Nodes:
“FOG_storagenode_mysqluser root
FOG_storagenode_mysqlpass root”
FOG settings, FOG TFTP server:
FOG_TFTP_HOST 193.52.239.23
FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME fog
FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD root
FOG_TFTP_PXE_CONFIG_DIR /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR /tftpboot/fog/kernel/
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL fog/kernel/bzImage
FOG_KERNEL_RAMDISK_SIZE 127000
FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE fog/images/init.gz
FOG_PXE_IMAGE_DNSADDRESS 193.52.239.1
Thanks for every helps you could bring me

Aha I think I see your issue directly now.

Your STORAGE IP should [b]NOT[/b] be 127.0.0.1.

In networking 127.0.0.1 is the localhost. How can you load an NFS on your self when you don’t have a Storage Node?

To to the WEB GUI

Choose Storage Management->All Storage Nodes-> Your Storage node.

Change the IP of the storage node from:
127.0.0.1

To:
193.52.239.23
