Fog 1.1.0 multicast sits at "Starting to restore image (-) to device (/dev/sda1)
-
excuse me for my ignorance, but it gives a error saying that i need to give a size when i try to truncate.
-
Login to the mysql instance and use the database fog
[code]mysql -u root [-p IF YOU SET PASSWORD] fog
truncate table mutlicastSessions;
truncate table multicastSessionsAssoc;
exit[/code] -
Hmm… That did’t work… but it killed mysql…
-
Ok, Reinstall Unbuntu 13.10 and installed Fog v1.1.1 and still hangs at the same place on multicast.
-
If you had to “restart” mysql because it “killed mysql” you’ll most likely need to restart the services.
Here’s the process I imagine:
[code]sudo service mysql restart &&
sudo service apache2 restart &&
sudo service FOGMulticastManager restart &&
sudo service FOGImageReplicator restart &&
sudo service FOGScheduler restart[/code]The \ just allows you to keep adding to the current command. The && only starts the next command if the previous command completes successfully. If it doesn’t complete successfully it will not run the next, or any other of the commands in sequence. This can help you find out an issue.
-
If all restarts and returns properly, you’ll most likely have to restart the clients as the udp-sender commands will start, but there was no communication between the clients and the server before. Just restart the clients and all should start properly.
-
No, I started fresh. I wiped and reinstalled Unbuntu 13.10 and then Installed Fog v 1.1.1. Then Uploaded an image. Test pushed the image to a single machine and then tried a Multicast of 2 Machines. It’s still hanging at the “Starting to restore image” part.
-
Can you please try the steps I just gave?
-
Ok, Tried what you asked. Everything restarted without problems. Tried Multicast again. Still have the problem.
-
Thanks for your Help Tom. I’m headed home for the weekend. Hopefully we can figure out an answer when I get back to work on Monday.
Have a Great Weekend.

Based on the information, does your network allow UDP traffic to pass?

im in the same boat as michael. i reinstalled ubuntu 12.04 lts server. installed fog svn 1820. normal unicast works fine, but the group multicast with more than 1 member doesnt work.
here is the multicast.log.udpcast.6 (in this case its a 6) log:Udp-sender 20120424
Using mcast address 234.1.1.242
UDP sender for (stdin) at 10.1.1.242 on eth0

Timeout notAnswered=[0,1] notReady=[0,1] nrAns=0 nrRead=0 nrPart=2 avg=10000it just keeps going.
when i multicast to a group with one member, it works. here is the multicast.log.udpcast.8:
Udp-sender 20120424

Timeout notAnswered=[0] notReady=[0] nrAns=0 nrRead=0 nrPart=1 avg=1161
Timeout notAnswered=[0] notReady=[0] nrAns=0 nrRead=0 nrPart=1 avg=1155
So i notice that for both groups, everthing is the same until Timeout notAnswered=
For the group with 1 member, its:
Timeout notAnswered=[0] notReady=[0] nrAns=0 nrRead=0 nrPart=1 avg=1220
For the group with 2 members, its:
Timeout notAnswered=[0,1] notReady=[0,1] nrAns=0 nrRead=0 nrPart=2 avg=10000
The group with 2 members, that message keeps on repeating forever, and the client doesnt show any change.
The group with 1 member, every so often will update with a:
bytes= 29 516 032 re-xmits=0003904 ( 19.2%) slice=0112 - 0
If everyone else is getting it to work, then it makes me think the switches on my side are at fault. In which case shame on me for posting this. And shame on my colleagues for messing around with the switches.
Please let me know if anyone else is having this issue. I’ll work on my end and post what i found. Im hoping its just a switch where multicast isnt enabled. -
Hi, I reinstalled fog_1.1.1 and tried again : multicast ok on my virtual network.
I will try next week with multicasting 15 real machines on W7Thanks again for your work.

[quote=“Michael Mullins, post: 30264, member: 17924”]Ok, Tried what you asked. Everything restarted without problems. Tried Multicast again. Still have the problem.[/quote]
I think I know what’s causing the issue with the screen “hanging” at the (-) stuff.Do you have multiple storage nodes?
I found an issue presenting exactly as you’re specifying here if you have multiple storage nodes. Chances are, the node it was working off of at the time had less client load and therefore set the “optimalStorageNode” paramenter. This “optimal node” is not a master node so the udp-sender command is not being pushed when the client is requesting it.
Hopefully this will help, I’ve told multicast jobs to only set the storage node based on the master node that’s enabled within that storage grouping.

As far as multicasting, we’re running 12.04 and 1.1.1. I tried to multicast and received the same Part-clone hang error. Upgrading to r1852 to see if it resolves it.
-
I reinstalled Unbuntu and Fog today. Still the same issue. Anyone else make it past this?
-
I’m running into the same problem with fog-1.1.1 on RHEL 6.5. I’m pretty much clueless about UDPcast so I’m not sure if the problem is with the network or fog. I can say that everything seems to work with a single machine in the group and fog tells me that it will be using UDPcast for that host.
EDIT I should also say that I took a go at running udp-sender and udp-receiver manually (in debug mode on the clients). The results were the same: a single host worked fine, more than one failed, this time with errors like
[CODE]
Timeout notAnswered=[0] notReady=[0] nrAns=0 nrRead=0 nrPart=1 avg=84698
[/CODE] -
ianabc or anybody,
Are you guys in systems with multiple nodes?
-
Sorry, missed your question. No, single node setup, I think my problem is either with udpcast or our network configuration.
-
For my setup, this looks very similar to [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/multicast-does-not-work-to-multiple-clients-only-to-single-client.863/’]this post[/URL], but their hack with the 239.X.X.X mcast address doesn’t seem to be working for me.
