Unable to deploy Snapins - Stuck in Que

[Tom Elliott]

@tyler2017 Latest, 1.4.4.

[tyler2017]

@Tom-Elliott I’ve never done an update before, only fresh installs. Do I just need to run the installer for the new version? Stupid question, I know. Just checking… I’ll definitely back things up first.

[Tom Elliott]

@tyler2017 Upgrades are automatically handled by the installer yes. You just re-run the installer and it will update the things it needs to update.

@Tom-Elliott Now all of my clients are showing this:

I am unable to find any duplicate MAC address for any hosts. Any ideas?

@tyler2017 So the “Error multiple hosts returned for list of mac addresses” means there’s likely a duplicate MAC Address being passed, but what you’re looking at for “mac addresses” is not the same as the list the client is passing.

I’m not saying you did anything wrong and I hope I just corrected some of the checking code.

Would you mind trying:

wget -O /var/www/fog/lib/fog/hostmanager.class.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FOGProject/fogproject/57d36f5ce22b960db99ad290f1d20b7be1c93e37/packages/web/lib/fog/hostmanager.class.php

# Ensure /var/www/html/fog has updated file just in case /var/www/fog is not already linked appropriately.
wget -O /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/hostmanager.class.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FOGProject/fogproject/57d36f5ce22b960db99ad290f1d20b7be1c93e37/packages/web/lib/fog/hostmanager.class.php

@tyler2017 said in Unable to deploy Snapins - Stuck in Que:

“A valid database connection could not be made”

Of note, for this error above, it seems possible that DB is full, or not running properly? (Maybe a whole ton of data causing a delay getting the information.)

I’m only guessing based on what I see. This is, for the most part, unrelated to the “Multiple errors exist” thought it’s not impossible a Full/Corrupt DB would be sending a ton more information than expected causing the error to throw. (So DB issues could send lots of excess data in the query, but this would only happen if the DB instance was still running.)

[tyler2017]

@Tom-Elliott I tried the commands you suggested. I’ve not noticed any changes in anything. The fog.log on all clients is still showing the same thing. Still unable to push snapins…

[Tom Elliott]

@tyler2017 Do you mean you’re getting the Invalid database error still?

[tyler2017]

This post is deleted!

[tyler2017]

@Tom-Elliott I no longer see the database connection error, but I do still get these…

Mind running an SQL query on the db with:

USE fog;
SELECT hmHostID,hmMAC FROM hostMAC WHERE hmMAC IN ('1A:E3:47:B3:65:43','28:E3:47:B3:7C:B3','28:E3:47:B3:65:43','00:09:0F:FE:00:01','A0:1D:48:B0:29:CC');

[tyler2017]

@Tom-Elliott Pardon my ignorance, but how would I go about doing that?

[tyler2017]

@Tom-Elliott

Nevermind, I figured it out… I think.

[Tom Elliott]

@tyler2017 So you might add a filter for a0:1d:48:b0:29:cc.

[tyler2017]

@Tom-Elliott How would I go about that? I’m not familiar at all with MySQL.

[tyler2017]

@Tom-Elliott I have been unable to find a way to add a filter or troubleshoot any further. Is there something else I can try? I was really hoping to get snapins to work, it will help me out a ton. Oddly enough, a printer will deploy, but only after the host restarts. Is there any kind of repair I can run on the database?

Thanks for all your help so far Tom. You guys are awesome!

[Tom Elliott]

@tyler2017 FOG Configuration Page->FOG Settings->FOG Client - Host Register->FOG_QUICKREG_PENDING_MAC_FILTER

Add the MAC address there. Save. Try again.

[tyler2017]

@Tom-Elliott I tried adding the mac you suggested, but it had no effect. Tried the other one, and everything lit up. Everything looks good now. Successfully deployed a snapin.

Thanks for the help Tom!

[Tom Elliott]

@tyler2017 Thanks for responding as I don’t know what mac is what, I just took a guess and it was wrong. Thanks for trying the other and glad it helped.
