Multicast won't start

Wayne Workman

@Towndrunk Problems are often specific to people. With multicast there’s not “an answer”. We need your details if you need our help.

Towndrunk

@Wayne-Workman I wasn’t sure if I should start a new thread, or post in this one. I didn’t want to have to many issues going on in one thread.

Towndrunk

I have went to Image Management> Multicast Image> and created a Multicast with the information I wanted. I only used two computers as a test, but it failed. I also created a group and added the computers that I wanted to multicast from there, however I get the same indication that Pascal received. It stops on the screen he indicated in his screenshot.

I have restarted the service with no changes. Every time I go and look at the tasks, it shows that the task is in progress even though nothing is happening.

When I look at the logs, it looks like things worked as they should from what I can tell. Please see the attached.

It wouldn’t let me attached the .txt file, so I’ll post the log here.

@Towndrunk said in Multicast won't start:

10.15.31.20

What does that address belong to?

Towndrunk

@Wayne-Workman that is the IP address of the FOG Server.

Wayne Workman

@Towndrunk Well, that’s where it’s trying to send the multicast data to, and that will never, ever work.

Go here:
Web Interface -> FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> Multicast Settings -> FOG_MULTICAST_ADDRESS

And set that to 0 then restart the FOGMulticastManager and try again.

Towndrunk

@Wayne-Workman I believe that is where it was by default, and it wasn’t working. A co-worker made the change and it still wasn’t working, but he never put it back. I’ll put it back now and try again as soon as the update is done.

Towndrunk

I went in to Image Management> Multicast Image and created a multicast with the following settings. I added one to the multicast and it was found and sat at the same screen, then added the second and it did the same. This is the same indication I have got in the past, however the log says that it is running.

Session: multi
Client Count: 2
Timeout (minutes): 4

Wayne Workman

@Towndrunk The multicast address is now completely missing from the command, did you set it to 0 or blank?

Tom Elliott

@Wayne-Workman Multicast address on the sender will only display IF the multicast address in the global settings is defined.

Towndrunk

@Wayne-Workman I set it to 0

FOG_UDPCAST_INTERFACE: eth0
FOG_UDPCAST_STARTINGPORT: 64148
FOG_MULTICAST_MAX_SESSIONS: 64
FOG_UDPCAST_MAXWAIT : 4
FOG_MULTICAST_ADDRESS: 0
FOG_MULTICAST_PORT_OVERRIDE: 0
FOG_MULTICAST_DUPLEX : FULL_DUPLEX

Pascal Gazaille

@Wayne-Workman Hey sorry for the delay, I did what you wanted and tried to multicast 4 laptops this morning, it seems to work!

I’m gonna tried with more computer later today!

Wayne Workman

@Towndrunk Can you please try the below steps that I posted for the other guy now?

Pascal Gazaille

@Wayne-Workman Once the multicast job is done, is it supposed to disapear from the DB ‘multicastSessions’?

Wayne Workman

@Pascal-Gazaille It’s supposed to be marked as done, at least. There’s been work in this area, I’m going to defer to @Tom-Elliott on that question.

Tom Elliott

We’re at 1.3.0-RC-8, which I know addresses issues on multicast closing. This should be fixed now, so YES it should. NO need to defer, please update and see if all is well.

Towndrunk

@Wayne-Workman I went in and followed the steps listed below. I’m assuming that these are the steps that you were asking me to do?

mysql> DELETE FROM `multicastSessions` WHERE 1;
Query OK, 15 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> DELETE FROM `multicastSessionsAssoc` WHERE 1;
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> DELETE FROM `tasks` WHERE `taskTypeID` = 8;
Query OK, 42 rows affected (0.01 sec)

I then restarted the service, and tested again. I got the same results.

@Towndrunk Can you repeat the steps to clean the DB, then update to RC-8 (installing RC-8 will restart fog multicast manager as part of the upgrade), then try again?

Towndrunk

@Wayne-Workman I can do that. I am already running RC-8 though. I ran the upgrade this morning before doing the steps to clean the DB. If you want me to, I can repeat the process now.

@Towndrunk No, don’t bother then.

What OS is fog running on?
