FOG Multicast Issue

[Vanderhoff91]

Just recently updated from 1.2.0 to the latest trunk version (3480). I cannot seem to multicast at all. When selecting the option in the boot menu, text flashes by quickly after logging in, I briefly see the messages:

http://serverip/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php... ok
Please enter the session name to join>read sessname
http://serverip/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php... ok
http://serverip/fog/service/ipxe/bg.png... ok

Then immediatley after the last message is displayed, I’m thrown back into the boot menu. Has anyone come across this issue?

Here is what the multitask.log file shows:

[05-27-15 5:31:03 pm]  * No Tasks Found!
[05-27-15 5:31:13 pm]  | Task (1) Test is new!

PS. I also noticed the time in the log is very different from the system time, is that normal?

What OS and version are you running FOG on?
Any updates on this?

[Mark Bridges]

I found the log time off as well in my Fog install on Ubuntu. Updating a couple config files fixes this. Here’s the wiki entry.

@Mark-Bridges This will work for 1.2.0, but a forewarning/notice of SVN Revisions, this is not the case.

The time is now set directly in the GUI.

[Mark Bridges]

Good to know. Thanks for that and all your work here.

[Vanderhoff91]

Ubuntu 14.04 x64
Fog Version 3488
I have been able to successfully upload an image and deploy via quick image btw.
Also thank you very much for the quick replies!

So multicast is working or not?

[Vanderhoff91]

@Tom-Elliott
Multicast is not working, still the same issues as above.
I can start a session, but I am unable to get any machines to join it.

Can you run the troubleshooting script found here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4581/let-s-make-scripts

And see if it points anything out?

[Wayne Workman]

Inside the FOG DB, there are two multicast association tables. Can you delete all the rows in those tables, re-install FOG, and try again and see what happens?

TRUNCATE TABLE multicastSessions; 
TRUNCATE TABLE multicastSessionsAssoc; 
DELETE FROM tasks WHERE taskTypeId=8;

Via MySQL cli or phpmyadmin (easy to install)
