Multicast ended good. Next multicast session problems

[Eazis]

Hello,

First of all, FOG is very nice tool and i already have more then 1500 hosts in the listing.

But now I have a problem with the multicast session after i updated FOG to 1.5.8
The problem is when a multicast session is ended the udp-sender still exsist and there is still a record in the database from this session.
When i start next time a multicast session with other clients the session won’t start at all. I need to clear the database, kill the upd sender and need to restart the FOGMulticastManager and then i need to restart the multicast session and all clients in the group should be restarted.

mysql -u root <-p password> fog
truncate table multicastSessions;
truncate table multicastSessionsAssoc;
exit;

sudo service FOGMulticastManager stop
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo service FOGMulticastManager start

I’m out of any suggestions to try. Is there anything that i can try?

Thanks in advance!

@Eazis There are different ways of starting multicast Sessions. Please tell us exactly which one you are using.

@Sebastian-Roth

I’m starting the multicast session in this way:

• Create a group or use an exsisting group
• Add the members to the group (most of the time 10 members are in this group)
• Add a group image to this group
• Add snapins to this group
• Basic tasks -> Multicast

@Eazis I suppose you are still using FOG 1.5.8!? I just remembered that we did fix some things related to stuck multicast tasks since 1.5.8 was released and you might want to upgrade to the latest dev-branch to see if this fixes your issue.

@Sebastian-Roth i will try this and i come back if this fix the solution. It could take some days.

@Sebastian-Roth we have just tried some multicast sessions and it looks like that everything is working well now.

@Eazis Sounds good, thanks for the feedback!
