Multicasting - Not The Master Node

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott
I’ll adjust that and it sounds like it should fix this.

I’ll let ya know! Thank you!

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott
For the record, I restarted the service on the server and the problem is now fixed. Thanks!

Problem solved!

Thanks!

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott

So, now it cannot locate the images. What is the default location on the server for images?

When it’s set to .22 it finds my images. As the location is correct on the settings page.

Thanks!

[Tom Elliott]

@Joe-Gill What is 22? What is 17?

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott

.17 = fogserver (Where our main fog installation is.)
.22 = fog storage node. (Where FOG Storage Node installation is.)

[Tom Elliott]

@Joe-Gill Does “Where our main fog installation is” have the images as well?

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott
Negative. That /images directory is empty.

[Tom Elliott]

@Joe-Gill So what is the storage node? Is it a nas?

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott
Yes essentially. But it is a running FOG Storage Node.

[Tom Elliott]

@Joe-Gill So it has a full install of FOG?

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott
Yes it does. The storage node version.

[Quazz]

@Joe-Gill Can you check its multicast error logs then? Will be more useful info.

[Joe Gill]

@Quazz
This is all that’s on the Storage node multicast.log.

And the log from the server…

Could I create a new storage node (.17). Give it the IP of our server (.17). Set it to slave. Let the images migrate back to the /images directory on the server. Then after all images are copied set the storage node (.22) to slave mode.

Would this work? Or is their an easier/safer method?

I’m stuck at the moment with Unicast. I’m trying to push 10 images and my time remaining is 6:30:00… I’ve got about 300 more to do!

Thanks!

[Tom Elliott]

@Joe-Gill Are you sure the “storage node” isntallation is “storage ndoe?” It seems to be looking at it’s own database. (BTW, fogserver should NOT be the same on multiple systems.)

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott
What’s the easiest way to verify?

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott

Well I can tell you that when I navigate to our 172.16.1.22/fog in the web browser it says this…

This is a storage node, please do not access the web ui here!

[Tom Elliott]

@Joe-Gill so 22 is supposed to be the master node but the logs you’re giving us are for .17? Is 17 the main GUI or the storage node? Please understand I’m trying to help but getting totally conflicting information.

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott
Interesting…
17 is supposed to be the master node.
22 was set to the master node somehow.

17 is the main GUI.
22 is the storage node.

I think I know what happened. Initially I had a FOG server, a FOG storage node, and a FREENAS storage server setup. FREENAS was giving me problems so I nixed it. When that happened I reset my Storage Node on the server. I believe I misunderstood the syntax of what the Storage Node IP was on the gui and put the wrong IP in there.

Does that help?
