Fog 1.2.0 - Multicast not cloning

[pabloinza]

Hi there. I´m new on Fog, it´s really nice and useful. I could successfully achive unicast tasks; I can clon ONE host without problem. But when I try to do a Multicast (either with one host or more), the clients boot fine, they pass all the steps, but then they stop at the cloning screen and don´t go on and don´t clon anything. Some kind of help? Thanks in advance.

Hi, can you check if FOGMulticastManager service is running ? The stuck a Partclone step in multicast is because Parclone wait for data.

Hi all you folks! Thanks for answering! Ubuntu version 10.04. How do I check if FOGMulticastManager service is running? I tried the comman line: sudo service FOGMulticastManager restart, and it says “service not recognized” How come?

@Wayne-Workman Ubuntu 10.04

Result of ls -l /etc/init.d/FOG* ?

@ch3i
/etc/init.d/FOGImageReplicator
/etc/init.d/FOGMulticastManager
/etc/init.d/FOGScheduler

Finally now I understand the sentences in Ubuntu are CASE sensitive!

So, I type again:
service FOGMulticastManager restart

and I get:
start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 948: No such process

and the it fails to restart the service

How to solve it?

@ch3i Well well well…my last update of this thread:
I restart the system, restart fog server, restart FOGMulticastManager service, and yes!..now it restart successfuly and let me do a multicast!
I don´t know if it´s a momentary failure, if it´s my mistake or what. The point is I could solve it. I hope it keeps working!
Thanks to all of you. If I have nes I tell you.

Hi, not sure if it’s a momentary failure, but you have the solution to solve it. Please consider to use a recent version of Ubuntu/Fedora/Debian with FOG 1.2 or SVN version (SVN have awesome features and tweaks).

@ch3i Hi ch3i. Thanks fot contacting. If I decide to try a newer version of Ubuntu, which one would you recomend me? What is SVN?

Ubuntu 14.04, for SVN version you have to read that : https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN
SVN versions are dev releases for next FOG (1.3)

@ch3i Ok, great! By the way, I´d like to install Fog WITHOUT dhcp service, on a PC which is currently running on a network that gets IP from the dhcp of a TP-LINK Router. I know I need to install dnsmasq service. I did it, the pxe clients get ip from the tplink router, but thay can´t reach properly the pxe boot file. Would you please give a hand whith this? The name of the files to edit and lines to type so as to let pxe clients boot prperly? Thanks so much!
