Problems after updating fogserver IP Address

[thebrennan47]

Server

• FOG Version: 1.4.3
• OS: Ubuntu LTS 1.6.4

Client

• Service Version:
• OS: Windows 7

Description

After updating the IP Address of our fogserver, we can no longer load the disk usage graphs for our storaqe node. I have double checked that the fogsettings are updated on both machines to contain the new IP. I have also re-run the installfog script on both machines

Any ideas what I could be missing?

Also make sure you look under the storage node configuration for that fog server. There are 5 spots (3 in the gui) where the IP address is coded.
2 places in the fog settings
1 place in the fog storage node

From the linux console you will need to edit /tftpboot/default.ipxe
and edit /opt/fog/.fogsettings.

Once everything is in sync then I would run through the FOG setup utility again just to make sure everything has been harmonized. (./bin/installfog.sh). It is a bit of a PITA changing the fog server IP after the fact, but its possible.

I found the following two config options on the fog configuration settings:

FOG_TFTP_HOST
FOG_WEB_HOST

And then on the storage node I verified that it has the correct IP for itself also.

I also edited the fogsettings and default.ipxe files to verify they also have the correct IP.

(I also went through the steps here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Change_FOG_Server_IP_Address )

I have also verified that they can successfully ping one another

I am still seeing the following issues though

In the Home Page UI
Nothing shows up in the drop down for storage node disk usage.

Also, when I click on the graph section it opens a hardware information page that gives out the following error: “Invalid Server Information!”

On the fog configuration / settings page:
FN1 FOG Version: ("A valid database connection could not be made"1.4.3)

Still digging around trying to figure out what I am missing here. Any ideas?

@thebrennan47 After updating the .fogsettings file did you rerun the fog installer?

You have updated all of the places I know where to look, the bin/installfog.sh script should harmonize the settings again.

@george1421 said in Problems after updating fogserver IP Address:

After updating the .fogsettings file did you rerun the fog installer?

Re-iterating that. if the .fogsettings file is correct, rerunning the installer generally fixes any problems.

@george1421 I ran it on the fog server after updating everything and that didn’t reset it. However I ran it on the storage node as well, and that does look to have helped

Thanks for the assistance with this!

@thebrennan47 Case solved then?
