DHCP problems on storage nodes

Greg Plamondon · Jan 16, 2018, 5:23 PM

@george1421
I checked the storage node and its looks correct:

#!ipxe
cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param platform ${platform}
param product ${product}
param manufacturer ${product}
param ipxever ${version}
param filename ${filename}
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme
:bootme
chain http://10.21.40.39/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params

the fogserver was installed with this IP.

Greg Plamondon · Jan 16, 2018, 5:30 PM

Just a heads up… I wasn’t having this issue until I recently updated, but I cannot remember what build I was on.

george1421 · Jan 16, 2018, 5:30 PM

@greg-plamondon Well if you look at your first post (second picture) FOS is getting an IP address of 10.21.100.115 but then it restarts. There should have been another message between the adding dns 192.168.10.3 and the udhcpc restarted message, saying that it couldn’t reach the fog server. Maybe that message only appears in debug mode, or your kernel logging level is wrong.

So it looks like you have scheduled a capture or deploy with this system? If so lets key in the following url into a browser replacing <mac> with the real mac address of this computer

http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=c0:3f:d5:9d:e9:50

That should give you the ipxe menu for this boot process. I’m interested in the kernel parameters being sent to FOS. They will be displayed when you key that url in.

george1421 · Jan 16, 2018, 5:34 PM

ok looking at your first picture a bit more where / why are these two IP addresses in play here

10.21.40.39
192.168.10.238

I would expect to see one address for your fog server, unless you have a storage node 10.21.40.39 and the master fog server at 192.168.10.238

Additionally during dhcp discovery on FOS its posting dns servers in the 192.168.10.x range with the target computer being given an IP address in the 10.21.100.x range. WTF??

Greg Plamondon · Jan 16, 2018, 5:36 PM

@george1421

10.21.40.39 is the storage node for that location.
192.168.10.238 is the main fog server that is the management interface.

george1421 · Jan 16, 2018, 5:37 PM

@greg-plamondon ok run the query I posted in red below against your fog master server.

I did amend my previous post with the WTF comment. You have Ip addresses all over the place.

Greg Plamondon · Jan 16, 2018, 5:38 PM

@george1421
run it from the client i am trying to image? or from any workstation?

@greg-plamondon as long as you still have the job scheduled from any computer that can reach the master fog server.

also just because your network is a bit more complex than it appears on the surface. You are sure that the 10.21.100.x subnet can physically reach the master fog server at 192.168.10.238. I’m going to say yes because we see that in the pxe booting process. But during FOS startup it has to be able to connect via http to the fog server.

Greg Plamondon · Jan 16, 2018, 5:42 PM

@george1421
oops i canceled the job…

george1421 · Jan 16, 2018, 5:46 PM

@greg-plamondon if you are going to reschedule the job, tick the check box that says debug and then pxe boot the target computer. Let see if that gives us any new info.

Sebastian Roth · Jan 16, 2018, 5:49 PM

@Greg-Plamondon Take a look at the Storage Settings in your FOG web UI. I am fairly sure you’ll find the old IP there.

george1421 · Jan 16, 2018, 5:50 PM

@sebastian-roth Am I missing something, what he just posted looks correct with a master fog server and a storage node.

george1421 · Jan 16, 2018, 5:52 PM

@greg-plamondon This looks right.

So a little bit more background on this. Are all target computers at this location doing this or only just this one computer?

Greg Plamondon · Jan 16, 2018, 5:53 PM

@george1421

Its doing this at all locations. I have 30 locations

Greg Plamondon · Jan 16, 2018, 5:58 PM

@sebastian-roth

Sorry it took so long it takes a good 5 minutes for the page to display.

Sebastian Roth · Jan 16, 2018, 6:04 PM

@Greg-Plamondon Sorry my fault. Take a look at FOG Configurations -> FOG Settings -> Web Server -> WEB HOST…

And check /opt/fog/.fogsettings before running the installer again.

Greg Plamondon · Jan 16, 2018, 6:22 PM

@sebastian-roth

Greg Plamondon · Jan 16, 2018, 6:58 PM

I have a tech @ the remote location but he will be heading to the Airport at 3PM Eastern Time. Testing will be limted after that, if anyone has a fix or suggestion please dont hesitate
