Custom Full Host Registration for 1.3.4

Tom Elliott

Mind trying this patch out? @george1421 Your method worked because you were in an “init” “imaging” needed tasking, but I think the problem is storage information was never passed for registration type tasks.

I’ve fixed this in the working group.

@jgallo please try:
wget -O /var/www/fog/lib/fog/bootmenu.class.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FOGProject/fogproject/3adec9a54254a9d466e129417f16163f396c358a/packages/web/lib/fog/bootmenu.class.php

This should replace your bootmenu with one that will insert the storage information based on the “web” interface it’s passing through.

True when I was debugging last night I was doing an debug capture. So of course it would have that variable set. Thanks for catching that one!

JGallo

@george1421 After I type in:

df -h

I get:

Filesystem
/dev/root

along with size, space used, etc. I assume this part must be in debug mode correct? I see Tom recommended something so I will give that a try as well.

JGallo

@Tom-Elliott So I got a chance to try the bootmenu link you posted and I get a chainlink error and could not boot: input/output error followed by the ipxe.org link. This is fixed by re-running the fog installer and then the ipxe booted normally. Not sure if I did that correctly but all I did was run that wget and it seemed like it downloaded the bootmenu.class.php.

What we need there is to capture this chainlink error. With that patched file installed call the following url from a browser and post the results here. http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:00:00:00:00:00` That will provide us with the text that is used to create the iPXE boot menu.

george1421

@JGallo And this what you get when you call the boot.php file with the mac address I gave you?

If so can you tail the apache error log and see if php is throwing an error. This IS an incomplete iPXE menu, which means that something is wrong with that patched file.

The head of a valid ipxe menu should look like this:

#!ipxe
set fog-ip 192.168.1.53

JGallo

@george1421 That is what I get. I will try to tail the apache logs and see if anything I can get there. If I restore the the original boot.php file, should expect different results when calling the boot.php file with the mac address: 00:00:00:00:00:00?

george1421

@JGallo I would expect your results to be similar to my (unpatched) results. You could always try mac address 00:00:00:00:00:01 if for some reason you have mac address 00:00:00:00:00:00 registered. The key is to pick a mac address that should not exist in your FOG server.

@JGallo It looks like line 1168 is causing the error in the patched boot menu file.

From DM: The OP is also using the ldap plugin too. Only worth mentioning since the error being thrown is referencing attemptLogin().

[editor note] I fixed the previous thread to include the error log in a code block for easier review[end note]

Tom Elliott

I’m sorry, you’ll need to install the working branch then. I’ve moved attemptLogin to fogbase now and it appears the changes I suggested, I overlooked that change sorry.

Tom Elliott

So I pushed up RC-2 for 1.4.0 in a semi-official manner rather than have you jump directly on working branch.

JGallo

@Tom-Elliott Thank you. I went ahead and updated to 1.4.0-rc-2 and it seems like like post init scripts are running because I get a message that says Patching registration files and eventually states that it’s Done Patching Registration files. Unfortunately it’s not copying the file I have set up to copy. So we know that the post init scripts are running. Not sure if the copy script is working because when testing a host by trying to do a full register of a host I still get asked questions I removed from my custom fog.man.reg

JGallo

@Tom-Elliott @george1421 This is what I have as far as post init scripts:

code for fog.postinit

#!/bin/bash
## This file serves as a starting point to call your custom pre-imaging/post init loading scripts.
## <SCRIPTNAME> should be changed to the script you're planning to use.
## Syntax of post init scripts are

code for fog.postselect

#!/bin/bash
. /usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh
# place script commands here that should execute every time for every FOS action
# I added some additional check here just in case you wanted to highly customize the postinit script's actions. This section is not mandatory.

@JGallo OK the forum really manged your code in the post.

Let go back to basics. Insert this code in your fog.postinit


echo "Installing Patch"
debugPause

cp -f ${postinitpath}fog.reg.man.fix /bin/fog.reg.man

echo "Done Patching"
debugPause

If that doesn’t work then we will need to install the debug kernel parameters again and figure out what is going wrong on the other end. If you see the Installing Patch in registration mode then we know the script is being called.

JGallo

@george1421 Yes. It is successful in echoing those words. I went as far as actually echoing “Installing my patch” and it works. LOL. So we know the script is being called but not too sure on the file copy. If I place the debug flags back, can I pull the fog.man.reg file to inspect it and confirm the file copy?

george1421

@JGallo Right in the code I provided, if you are in debug mode it will pause just before copying the file and just after copying the file.

On the pause just after copying the file press ctrl-c to break out of the script. Then inspect the file date. If its not correct then manually key in the copy command to see what error is thrown. I might suspect I have the source path off for some reason.

You might also want to key in echo "${postinitpath}" on the command line (after the control-c) to see if the postinitpath is properly set.

JGallo

@george1421 So placed the debug flags back. Once the patching was done, I hit control-c and inspected /bin/fog.man.reg and looks like the original file because my changes aren’t there. I also echoed the postinitpath and it returned a blank line.

Could I theoretically set the postinit path prior to cp the custom fog script? Or instead of using the variable postinit to manually enter the postinitpath?

george1421

@JGallo well in this case the postinitpath should be set by the master fog script. If it is not set correctly then things will fall down.

You could manually set it, but if you are still in debug mode, could you post the output of this command df -h at this point for the postinitpath to work, the FOS engine needs a connection back to the fog server over nfs to reach the script. Since the postinit script…

Wait that variable needs to be set, because the main fog program calls the postinit by issuing . ${postinitpath}fog.postinit

Instead of having you keep thrashing this around let me look at it tonight, there has to be something missing.
