Solved snapins not deploying from storage nodes: Version 1.5.7.4

[Greg Plamondon]

Version 1.5.7.4
when deploying an image to a pc that is at a location with a storage node the image is pulled correctly from the storage node but when it comes to the snapins it pulls them from the master. I have verified that the location is set on the host and snapins exist on the storage node and the snapin hashes match up.

Thanks!

@Sebastian-Roth Thank you for finding and fixing the issue.
@Greg-Plamondon Thanks for reporting. This fix is also set for 1.6 now too.

Awesome job everybody!

Thank you,

[Sebastian Roth]

@Greg-Plamondon Thanks! So I will mark this solved then. Fix is in the dev-branch if others read this and want to update to get the fix as well.

[Greg Plamondon]

@Sebastian-Roth doing a git pull now will let you know shortly

EDIT:

I installed the change you made and it looks the same as when you made the changes to my system at least from a fog.log stand point.
its is calling the IP address of the storage node.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Greg-Plamondon I just pushed a fix to dev-branch. Very similar to what we tested in your setup already. Would still be great if you could try it out just to make sure.

@Greg-Plamondon Please check the chat bubble in the top right corner.

I am fairly sure this has not worked properly in a very long time.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Greg-Plamondon Ok, I think I found what’s causing this. Give me a bit more time.

@Greg-Plamondon Ok, setting it correct in the DB. Just wanted to make sure it is before we get into the code.

Now this is the part that decides about which node to use when the location plugin is used:

• https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/dev-branch/packages/web/lib/plugins/location/hooks/changeitems.hook.php#L150
• https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/dev-branch/packages/web/lib/plugins/location/class/location.class.php#L157

Please run another mysql query for us and post output here:

mysql> SELECT * FROM location;

shouldnt it be the storage nodes hostname?

@Greg-Plamondon Ok, let’s start in the database. Please connect to the DB on the command line:

shell> mysql -u root -p
Password:
...
mysql> use fog;
...
mysql> SELECT * FROM globalSettings WHERE settingKey LIKE '%SNAPIN_LOCATION_SEND_ENABLED%';
...

Post the results you get here in the forums.

[Greg Plamondon]

@Sebastian-Roth any ideas on where I could start to troubleshoot this? I don’t see anything in the logs standing out.

[Sebastian Roth]

I will definitely look into this issue when I get back.

I’ve just found out that the management password of my storage node has been truncated by 1 character.
FYI: @Developers

[maxcarpone]

I’ve just found out that the management password of my storage node has been truncated by 1 character. After typing it again, everything is back to normal.
That version has definitely changed my password

Well I’m not sure my problem is related to the one described above, sorry for that.

[maxcarpone]

Hi guys,

Same problem with my server, I’ve just updated from 1.5.7.2 to 1.5.7.4 and snapins are not deployed anymore. It failed with return code “-1”.

[Greg Plamondon]

@Fernando-Gietz it worked before, not sure what version it changed in.

[Fernando Gietz]

Hi @Sebastian-Roth ,

I don´t know. I don´t use Location Plugin and I don´t have expirence with it but I can try to help

@Greg-Plamondon In previous versions of FOG, the behaviour was the same?

I have been offline several months XD

[Sebastian Roth]

@Fernando-Gietz Possible bug in the location plugin. What do you think?
