CentOS 7/RHEL 7/Fedora 20 Support

[quote=“Jose Antonio Sanchez, post: 35287, member: 25349”]Yup… I forgot to add that I did have to stop and disable the firewall service…
The problem I was having with mounting the NFS share for /images/dev in /images was due to the NFS service not running…
I did, I think, systemctl restart nfs-server.service and also systemctl enable nfs-server.service just to be sure…[/quote]
Is it working now? I don’t think your error is centOS 7 specific. I am almost positive I had nfs mounting out of box in centOS 7.

I got upload working on my CentOS 7 machine. Might have been due to setting seccomp=No in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf or more likely due to stupid vlan issues being resolved. Testing Multicast now, it seems to hang on “starting to restore image”

Multicast still not working
Output of Multicast.log:
[08-15-14 1:16:20 pm] | StorageNode Not found on this system.
[08-15-14 1:16:30 pm] | StorageNode Not found on this system.
…
This is a stand alone fog server, it is the master storage node. I’m kind of out ideas.Also I can use udp-sender and receiver to transmit the multicast log simultaneously between two clients as per these instructions. The third step is out of date.

madskillz23,
Same here… can’t multicast even on a flat (unmanaged) switch…
now… on a VM Server (different than the one with the problem for multicast) MariaDB fails to start on boot and I have to restart it every time with:
[INDENT=1]systemctl restart mariadb.service[/INDENT]
I tried adding the following two lines to the my.cnf
[INDENT=1][mysql.service][/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]–service-startup-timeout=9000[/INDENT]but it did not help…
Again… I’m semi-new to linux… any help appreciated…

Not sure on multicast yet. Try systemctl enable mariadb.service. and on an unrelated note, I also had to start the nfs service on a new server I threw up, like you had happen to you earlier in the thread

madskillz23,
I fixed the mariadb problem by:
[INDENT=1]su[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]gedit /etc/rc.d/rc.local[/INDENT]Adding this line to the end of file “rc.local”
[INDENT=1]systemctl restart mariadb.service[/INDENT]then as the comments at the beginning of “rc.local” indicated to make sure the file is executable, ran:
[INDENT=1]chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
Now, on to figuring out about the multicast…EDIT: I did run the command to enable the mariadb.service and it kept on crashing on boot…

On CentOS 7 across multiple servers I repeatedly keep getting this same problem:
On original fresh fog install, does not ask to update database schema. But after a while (few hours to a weekend) it prompts for a database schema update which consistently fails. Have to rerun fog installer to bypass the issue so I can get to the web interface. Is there a way to manually reset that bit in the database without rerunning the fog installer?
Have not seen this issue on CentOS 6.
-
doesn’t the fog installer re-launch the database??? if so, would a cron job to restart it nightly or every other night be an OK workaround??
systemctl restart mariadb.service
-
The correct command for nfs starting after a reboot is: [CODE]systemctl enable nfs-server.service[/CODE] Apparently just nfs instead of nfs-server didn’t work.

systemctl restart mariadb.service[/quote]
Nope restarting the system has no effect. Its a bit in the database or somewhere that is persistently set to upgrade.
-
Can FOG issue an error on the page that the database is NOT running rather than to say the schema is out of whack?? That would make troubleshooting a bit easier…
Something like, Can’t connect to database, please restart it or check on it?

The system??? Nope, the database only, I was restarting the PC where fog is and the problem persisted on every reboot, but whenever I restarted only the database, the problem would go away…
-
Yeah it was caused by MySQL not starting correctly. Same issue you had. Dumb error on my part.
-
due to time limits for projects, I am also running another FOG Server but with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I am having the same issue of the Multicast not working even on a flat/unmanaged switch…
So the problem with multicast does not seem to be isolated to CentOS 7… What is the name of the service that handles the multicast?? I need to see if it is running to try to restart it to see if that does it…
-
Fount the answer on another thread…
[FONT=Consolas]sudo service FOGMulticastManager stop
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo service FOGMulticastManager start[/FONT] -

I have to report that stopping the FOGMulticastManager server and starting it again does not solve the multicast problem on CentOS 7…
Any ideas??
P.S. On my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS install of fog 1.2.0 the FOGMulticastManager.service along with the other two FOG services are not listed…

Syntax is different on non-systemd based systems. “service FOGMulticastManager status” will work just fine. The “.service” is systemd specific. Centos7 uses systemd, Ubuntu does not yet.
I might have some ideas on multicast in a bit, I’m digging through source code.

Correct… on Ubuntu I did:
[INDENT=1]initctl list[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
and found no FOG services at all… Which is weird (or the services should be listed elsewhere???), but I have already imaged a few labs with Ubuntu 14.04 with Multicast no problem… well, tftpd had to be restarted and on another standalone Ubuntu 14.04 box dhcp had to be started manually…Seems like CentOS and Ubuntu keep having service startup problems…

Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOS 7 are both not recommended for production fog systems at this point. initctl seems like a systemd thingy, which shouldn’t work on Ubuntu. Could be wrong on that, I’ve personally never used it.
On a fun note, here’s the logic behind the exception on my multicast.log printout. Working on figuring out what’s going wrong with that.
[CODE]$StorageNode = current($this->FOGCore->getClass(‘StorageNodeManager’)->find(array(‘isMaster’ => 1,‘isEnabled’ => 1,‘ip’ => $this->FOGCore->getIPAddress())));
if (!$StorageNode || !$StorageNode->isValid())
throw new Exception(sprintf(" | StorageNode Not found on this system."));[/CODE]
