Multicast remains on Partclone screen (HP switch)

[Tom Elliott]

@Matthieu-Jacquart assuming you have all vlans looking at a single fog server each vlan would need to allow forwarding to the broadcast address set for the fog server.

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Tom-Elliott ok, appliying this command to all vlan (64158 is multicast port in fog configuration)

ip forward-protocol udp 192.168.10.60 64158

And now :

show ip forward-protocol
 IP Forwarder Addresses

But always same result, even with 1 PC
And I’ve just noticed that FOG_UDPCAST_STARTINGPORT seems change every time ???

[Tom Elliott]

@Matthieu-Jacquart it does, however you can override it in fog settings

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Tom-Elliott you mean in file fogsettings on debian server, or in web management ?
Because I’ve tried to fix it in web management but it changes again…

[Tom Elliott]

@Matthieu-Jacquart in GUI. There’s actually a variable called port override

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Tom-Elliott nop, no change…
Anyone else use fog with HP 2920/2530 swtich ?

[Matthieu Jacquart]

Ok, I’ll continue test with sotfware IC_Tester_Multicast and communication is ok between 2 PC (1 server and 1 client).

After that I run on fog server (with client in debug mode and “udp-receiver” command) :

root@FOG:~/fogproject/bin$ udp-sender --file /opt/fog/log/multicast.log --ttl 1
Udp-sender 20120424
Using full duplex mode
Using mcast address 232.168.10.60
UDP sender for /opt/fog/log/multicast.log at 192.168.10.60 on eth0
Broadcasting control to 192.168.10.255
New connection from 192.168.10.200  (#0) 00000009
Ready. Press any key to start sending data.
Starting transfer: 00000009
bytes=      17 782  re-xmits=0000000 (  0.0%) slice=0112 -   0
Transfer complete.
Disconnecting #0 (192.168.10.200)

So everything seems good for multicast, but still same problem : computer stays on partclone screen.
In multicast.log

Help will be appreciate, thanks

[Matthieu Jacquart]

Please help… ?
Everything seems fine when testing, just this screen remaining on Partclone screen

[Tom Elliott]

@Matthieu-Jacquart I believe this is related to the ports. I don’t know if you have a specific port or set of ports that are allowed vs, those that are not allowed.

[Wayne Workman]

@Matthieu-Jacquart said in Multicast remains on Partclone screen (HP switch):

Thanks for your help, deploying tens of computer in unicast is really long…

In the meantime, I would suggest only deploying 2 or 3 at a time. You can limit the number in Storage Management -> node -> max clients.

We need to figure out where the failure is exactly. Do you have a spare HP 2920/2530 switch that you can tinker with for a few days off-network ?

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Wayne-Workman For the moment I just test multicast on one computer.
I have a 2530 spare to make test, but even if I try to deploy directly on my core L3 (2920), it’s similar…

[Wayne Workman]

@Matthieu-Jacquart My thought was to take two spare computers aside, install FOG on one with DHCP too, then take it off-network with your spare switch. And we just work on adjusting the switch configuration until we get multicast working to the other computer.
