Making a new Snapin

@boeleke There’s a ; after your dnsbootimage that’s incorrect. In fact, a lot of that section seems wrong, you only need to enter the IP there. Single quotation marks, no ; and no “option whatever”.

I doubt that’s the cause of this (since you don’t use DHCP), but it’s an easy and good place to start. It’s possible the formatting is throwing off the installer somewhat?

@Quazz

I never changed this, so the installer did.
Pretty weird. I’m try to change it!

[boeleke]

@Quazz

Nothing changed.
“Stage2016”. Double or single quotes?

[Quazz]

@boeleke All passwords in double quotes, everything else in single quote.

You probably did, but just to be sure, did you rerun the installer after the changes?

If yes, it might be worth deleting /var/www/html/fog and /var/www/fog and running the installer again.

@Quazz

i did. But it didn’t worked.
Also … it did work a couple of versions ago – Then i did some update & again got this problem.

Btw I started to image now… & When i image more then 6 computers at the same time, I got the chainloading problem. Also with fog’ user in the notes.

Btw same error when trying to open ‘create snapin’.

Installer made this fogsettings :

So this is giving really hard problems .

@boeleke said in Making a new Snapin:

Then your system can’t handle more than 6. I would suggest setting the max clients to 3 or 4.
Web Interface -> Storage Management -> [click correct node] -> Max Clients

You should also explore Multicast, it’ll make your life easier.

The ‘Create Snapin’ feature works in RC-8, you are probably either having load issues, or you have trash in your database, or a corrupt web directory. Easiest place to start is to delete the web directory and then re-install fog.
rm -rf /var/www/html/fog
Then reinstall RC-8.

I suppose, you may have a full root partition too… check with:
df -h

[Quazz]

@boeleke How much RAM and free storage do you have?

[boeleke]

@Quazz

I’m working with a 2GB ram (virtual) so i can adjust it.
30GB hard disk – but the images are on my NAS ;).

[Quazz]

@boeleke Might be worth checking

df -h

like Wayne suggested to see how full your root partition is now. 30GB should be plenty though if images are stored elsewhere, but doesn’t hurt to check.

Then check memory/CPU usage, preferably while having a bunch of clients trying to image using

top

which updates constantly so you can keep a good eye on how much RAM and CPU are being used in total and by which processes.

[boeleke]

@Quazz

Hard disk just ± 20% in use.
Also the RAM & CPU seems to be good.

@boeleke Would you be able to do a TeamViewer session with me so we can look deeper? Message me if you’re interested.
