Multicast Deploy problem (FOG 1.2.0) #!im
-
The problem seems linked with a network problem on my clients. The ipxe boot file undionly.kpxe.INTEL was bricking my network adapters. I switched back to undionly.kpxe and everything is back to normal.
-
I also get this error message, currently trying to multicast clients using HP ProBook 455, I had to change the boot file for the fog to work on these clients. I’ve tested the different files under tftpboot and found that the only ones that work are : undionly.kpxe.INTEL, ipxe.kkpxe, ipxe.kpxe
I’m trying to run an isolated fog server with a built in dhcp, currently fog 1.2.0
I’ve changed the time for booting to disk in boot menu.

@emijoa Would you be willing to try out the developmental version of FOG? It’s the pre-1.3.0 version.
-
Okay, what steps do I follow to upgrade or do I need a fresh install?
-
@emijoa You can upgrade depending on the OS you’re using. You’ll be installing what’s called FOG Trunk.
It works best on CentOS 7, Fedora 21+, and works ok on Ubuntu 14+ and Debian 8.
Here are the instructions, just pick a method:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunkI would advise you and everyone else to always backup their DB and Hosts via the instructions at the bottom of that article - not because I expect anything to break, but because it’s simply good practice to have backups of your data.
-
I tried updating using git earlier today, it failed when trying to start my-sql.
-
@emijoa What OS are you running?
-
Ubuntu 14.04.3, installed LAMP and SSH. Also installed a Minimal Gnome Core Desktop
-
@emijoa Ok. if you look inside of
/var/log/you’ll see some files calledfog_error_<version>.logThe version you tried installing earlier will have an error log with a corresponding version number in the name.
If you can post the last few lines in that file, that will help figure out why the installation failed.
Basically, all error output from the installer is redirected to that log.

Okay:

@emijoa Try to run the installer with sudo.
sudo ./installfog.sh -
Okay, that did the work, but now it stops at dhcp. Also, when i look in the dhcp they seem to have been changed.
* Stopping ISC DHCP server dhcpd ...fail! dhcpd self-test failed. Please fix /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf.

@emijoa For some reason, the installer can’t detect your subnet mask, and there might be other issues as well.
What interface does the installer suggest?
Please post the output ofip addr
And post the output ofcat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf -

With an address and subnet mask like that, I’m wondering if you don’t already have DHCP running on some device in your network already?
What is the output of
route -n
What is the output ofcat /etc/resolv.conf -
No, it was at first a misspell, but i didn’t change it as it was only a test server. I’ve been reinstalling a few times already.

@emijoa Ok so inside of
/opt/fog/.fogsettingschange thebldhcp="1";setting tobldhcp="0";and save that,and then remove everthing in the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file and then put the below config in there and save, then try to restart dhcp with
service dhcpd stop;service dhcpd startThe below config has your fog server’s address reserved, and it’s setup to handle multiple host architectures.
This doesn’t fix why the subnet and mask weren’t detected right though… and because the subnet was detected as 0.0.0.0, that’s why it set the starting rage to 0.0.0.10.
After you’ve got the below file in place and the .fogsettings modified and dhcp restarted, try to run the installer again (as sudo) and see what happens.
@Tom-Elliott the good news is it detected the broadcast address accurately and setup the ending range correctly. I’ve been working on an enhanced way of detecting the IP address, and a better method of calculating the network address (based on binary math)… so that change will eventually come.

There is no service that is called dhcpd, however there is one called isc-dhcp-server, I believe this was installed by the 1.2.0 installer?

I ran the ./installfog.sh and it went through smoothly.

I’m a Red-Hat kind of guy, and I do not apologize.
Do keep us updated on how it goes.

Will do! I’m new to Linux in general, I’ve tried a little ubuntu and debian. But I did ubuntu as it seemed to be the best documentet on the wiki
What os would you recommend to run fog on ?
