Latest FOG 0.33b
-
Hello all, I’m having some problems with fog 0.33B (r1519). The set up of Fog went without too many issues and I’ve updated my DNS/DHCP server appropriately and I can now access the web interface, add machines and upload images via iPXE. The problem comes when I attempt to deploy the image, part clone starts but I end up with the following message;
Starting to restore image (-) to device (dev/sda1)
It then remains like that ad nauseam.
It does appear to wipe the system but fails to deploy the stored image, having no experience of part clone I can only speculate that it’s because it’s failing to find the image on server or is failing to pick up what image it should be using from Fog (speculation from seeing image (-) where I would assume that it should say image (<image name>)), I’ve checked the /images folder and the image is in the correct folder and the permissions are set for fog to be able to access the folder (hence it can upload without any issues).
Unfortunately there are no errors in the multicast log and having gone through the config section of the site and the config.php file with a fine tooth comb I can’t see where it would be failing, here’s a summary of the system that I’m running;
OS: Debian Wheezy running as a virtual machine on ESXi
PHP/5.4.4-14+deb7u9
Apache/2.2.22
MySQL client version: 5.5.31In terms of images I’ve created two images, the first was built using VMPlayer (win7 32 bit), prepared using the fog prep tool and sysprep with an unattend.xml file, the second is the same but using a physical machine on the off chance VMPlayer was doing something to the image (clutching at straws!).
I’m at a loss

Check that the FOGMulticastManager service is running on your fog server:
[code]service FOGMulticastManager restart[/code]You can check the multicast log from /opt/fog/log/multicast.log
-
Why not try a unicast first?

r1522 released.
Should bring the Column sorting feature requested.

The service was running but errored when I used the restart switch, so i stopped it and started it and everything is working perfectly now!
Thanks for the help

I can confirm that multicast is not working.

Should, hopefully, fix snapins so they cycle through the jobs rather than try pulling a job that has no tasks.

Are you manually starting the task??? I see these three items

[04-28-14 3:44:59 pm] * Starting FOG Multicast Manager Service
[04-28-14 4:17:37 pm] * Starting FOG Multicast Manager ServiceAlso which version of FOG did you install, and what Linux version did you install FOG to?

I am having an issue with uploading an image, windows 7 if it matters. I am on fog .33b with the latest revision using svn. When image uploads I can see it in /image/dev/mac/ When it completes upload I get a single file in my images folder with the name of image. I do not get a folder with sys.image.000 and rec.img.000. I used partclone to upload and am new to partclone maybe creates different file. But if I try to download image to new computer get error saying no image file found. Any ideas? Possibly some permissions wrong? Thanks in advance for help.

Task was started via Task->Groups menu. I’ve Updated to r1525 yesterday, FOGMulticastManager is starting/stopping fine now. Haven’t tried an actual multicast yet though.

Hm, I can not see this functionality. Where and how? Anyway, thanks a lot!

The headers are now links. When you click on them, they sort the information. When searching, however, these do not work.

Hm, no they are not. I downloaded bz image after I read the message about this new feature.

Hm, I cant fint the functionality. I downloaded and installed a FOG bz image several hours after I read about the feature. Is the bz image too old?

What?
In the FOG GUI, when You go to list a hosts, it will display with the header. The Header items at the top of the page become hands when you hover over them. When you click on them, they sort the data. I’ve also added pagination to the system. If the number of elements is greater than 10, it will give a display of elements. To go from page to page. I have to figure out how to do this for the return of the search data.

Strange, I have just downloaded/installed bz file again and still no sorting. Reminds me about the inclusion of the release number somewhere in the GUI

But there is sign of pagination when editing a storage group!! Seems odd. In the bottom of the screen.
