Multicast timeout?

[Trevelyan]

I use FOG 1.2 now and am just going over some of our labs that we use FOG in. For many of them, we seem to be able to multicast fine but for a couple we can’t.

All hosts will sit at the blue screen waiting and nothing happens.

I checked the multicast log and apparently all 31 hosts have timeout notAnswered and notReady and eventually are just all dropped.

[/CODE]

I’m not really sure where to start but what happened to /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php? I was going to try and increase UDPSENDER_MAXWAIT - but this doesn’t even exist in there. Is there any way to increase the timeout at all somewhere?

Cheers

The config for the FOG Services (FOGMulticastManager,FOGScheduler,FOGImageReplicator) fields are now done in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php

The /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php only tells the services where the webroot is for the system.

Hopefully that helps.

That said, the timeout can, at least in SVN and possibly 1.2.0 be set by the database.

Ooo, is there a handy link on how to do that?
