Multitasking and wakeonline

Fedora 25 Server

• FOG Version: 1.3.4 svn 6066
• OS: win7

Client : optiplex 7040

• Service Version:
• OS: windows 7

Description

setup the fog server and got it working.
the images sits on a hard drive which is not on the fog server.
Imaging works without a problem joining the domain.

Today we tested that wake on Lan and the multicasing .

To start with - The wake on Lan task worked without a problem - clicking to the client and from the right menu clicking on power management and choosing WOL and perform immediately - BOOm it worked.

Then we tested the multicast - again the pcs will come up but the image will not installed we go the message :

“Partclone v0.2.88 http://partclone.org
starting to restore image (-) to device (/dev/sda1)”

And its just stuck and not moving,
The task is running on the fog server.

We did some troubleshooting :
firewall is down, stop and restart the fog services , we add the broad cast ip to the hostfile and the 127 ip.

The main issue that I am wondering if anyone can help with is :
The wol worked without any issue and at one point it just stopped . any ideas?

Thanks
Avi

Hi, Have you checked your multicast log ?

[ozraelised]

Hi @ch3i

Do you mean the log on the fog server or the Linux server ?

Thanks
Avi

@ozraelised While I can only guess. I might inspect the log in /opt/fog/logs to see if the multicast log there can provide any clues.

Please clarify, “worked… at one point” (when, how long ago, etc).

ok all is resolved.

We just used Ubuntu server and all is working for now anyway.

This is resolved.

Thank you for all your help .

@ozraelised I should probably have read more into this thread, Fedora 25 at the moment has issues with rcpbind, it doesn’t even run the installer correctly. It’s an official bug, and I think the Fedora devs are swamped at the moment (think they are secretly working on RHEL 8).
