Group deploy - Theres no image definitions available on any node for the hosts in this group

[Wayne Workman]

Hosts are devices that FOG images and manages. Storage Nodes are assistant FOG servers used to increase imaging capacity and storage capacity and to bridge slow WAN links.

I and others have tested imaging with FOG 1.3.0 RC-23 and it works fine with the WOL option.

What do you mean by ‘manually image’?

Hello,

I can image single servers the way I always used to do. I basically queued up 180 servers one by one and that works well. Just the imaging of the group (no multicast) causes problems.

Random question for you, my transfers times of the image used to be around 22-25 minutes per workstation/server, since version 1.3 it went down to 5 minutes. Do you know why it’s that much faster now?

Thanks

@pixomondo I think we’re losing verbage here.

You’re actually imaging Servers? Or hosts? A lot changed but thanks to @Junkhacker finding a method to much faster decompress the files on the client, the speed is quite significant.

[pixomondo]

I mean hosts=servers in my case. Sorry for the confusion. I am imaging computers that are running on server hardware, that’s how it was meant.

Any other ideas?
I’m getting the same problem when trying to upload an image.

Failed to start tasking type Capture
Could not find any nodes containing this image

@pixomondo Based on what I’m seeing (hearing?) it seems you have bleedover files?

Can you try updating to RC-25 AND run before updating: (after backing up your own important data)

rm -rf /home/*.BACKUP /var/www/{html/,}fog

Then run the installer?

@Tom-Elliott
Uploading works now. Thank you.
I will check group deploy tomorrow once all downloads have finished.

@Tom-Elliott I had sometimes same error so I did the trick, but now I’ve got error in fog.log :

Authentication error : Certificate is not from FOG CA

EDIT : it’s ok, I have to restore management/other from backup

[Tom Elliott]

@Matthieu-Jacquart So group deploy is working too?

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Tom-Elliott Yes it’s ok for that.
But I still have this error when deploying several pc (for example 2 hours ago, deploy 14 pc and 3 of them didn’t start and reboot)

Restart deployment when other pc were complete was ok

That’s a pretty major client error - it will prevent the FOG Client from working. When you see this, try to re-install the fog client on that machine (or reinstall on that image).

I created a new group and it worked.
Can be marked solved.

Thank you
