FOG 1.2.0 multicast issues

Sage

Wow, never would have thought that it is so easy. Thanks for the help! It is working now perfectly.
Thank you for the fast response, can start cloning hundreds of computers now.

Keep up the fantastic job, on the next salary gonna donate - I really appreciate what FOG team is doing here.

We are still having this problem with multicast and haven’t been able to get it to work since 0.32: “[URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-1-1-0-multicast-sits-at-starting-to-restore-image-to-device-dev-sda1.10782/’][U][COLOR=#0066cc]Starting to restore image (-) to device (/dev/sda1)[/COLOR][/U][/URL]”.

We have upgraded to 1.2.0 and the latest SVN. We are able to use omping successfully. Any other ideas to try?

Can you give more detailed information please

TRSD

We also did this:
sudo service FOGMulticastManager restart

Fog Version: 1.2.0

I tried to post the foginstall.log and it says it is spam.

When you say:

Do you mean you never got it working on 0.32?

It makes me wonder what’s wrong with your setup. Maybe switches are blocking UDP traffic, maybe multicast traffic is not allowed to pass? I don’t know your environment or what you’ve done to trouble shoot other than restarting the FOGMulticastManager service and testing with omping. What is the results of omping?

TRSD

This was working with 0.32. As soon as we went to 1.0.0 and later it has not.

The omping was pinging with multicast results on both ends.

Tom Elliott

Have you verified that firewall’s are disabled and that routing it working between for 224.0.0.1

Here is the latest data from the multicast.log file:

Tom Elliott

Do me a favor and truncate all of the tasks that deal with multicast:
[code]mysql -u root [ -p #only if you have a mysql password ] fog
truncate table multicastSessions;
truncate table multicastSessionsAssoc;
delete from tasks where taskTypeID=‘8’;
sudo service FOGMulticastManager restart[/code]

Recreate your multicast job and try again.

TRSD

Would the firewall situation have changed on the fog side from .032 to 1.2.0 as it was working before and nothing has changed on our firewall?

Tom Elliott

FOG doesn’t touch or do anything with firewalls, so the quick answer is no.

TRSD

I was wondering maybe ports changed or something.

I tried your truncation suggestions above and still no luck.

How is it no luck? Nothing’s working? Did you restart the FOGMulticastManager service after you truncated everything? Is your Date Time Zone settings correct?

What’s in your /opt/fog/log/multicast.log? Are the times correct for your location?

TRSD

I tested multicast and it still didn’t work. FOGMulticastManager service was restarted (this time and many times previous). I will look at time zone as it is obviously wrong for Pacific time. I don’t know if that has changed.

TRSD

The server time is correct. Where is the fog multicast.log getting it’s time from?
