Deploy Tasks Not Continuing After First Batch

[eliaspereira]

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with deployment tasks in FOG. I have groups of hosts, for example, LAB02.

• I click on LAB02, go to the Basic Tasks tab, and select Deploy.
• I enable:
  Wake on LAN
  Schedule Instant
• I click the button to create the deployment tasks.
• In the Task Management menu, I see that the first 6 machines start deploying.
• However, once those 6 machines complete the deployment, no new machines start, even though the group has more hosts.

Troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• I checked Max Clients in the Storage Management, and it is set to 10.
• Restarted the services:

systemctl restart FOGImageReplicator FOGScheduler FOGSnapinReplicator

• Checked Task Management, but no new tasks are created automatically.
• Ensured that the PXE boot settings on the remaining machines are correct.

Additional notes:

• I noticed that the FOG_QUEUESIZE setting seems to have been removed in the latest version. Could this be related to the issue?
• Is there any way to force the queued machines to start once the first batch finishes?
• Am I missing any settings to allow the next hosts to start deployment after the first batch completes?

Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update post:

Last night I updated to version 1.5.10.1639, but this morning we sent some more tasks, 31 in total, and after finishing the first 10, it keeps waiting endlessly.

The strange thing is that all the machines in the queue say that there are, for example, 15 before me. Is that correct?

It shouldn’t be like that:

1. the first 10 start
2. The message on the 11th: “Are slots open, but 10 before me”?
3. The message on 12: “Are slots open, but 11 before me”?
   … and so on?

@eliaspereira I’m not fully sure what is wrong or where it’s wrong at and I don’t really have a means to test.

I’m presuming you posted the issue on github which is a good place to start.

If that is the case it sounds like something missed a step during updating the database potentially?
