FOG Multicast Problems / Partclone fails to finish

[Tom Elliott]

@Joe-Gill not even close. We’re not trying to update kernels. You need to update FOG as a whole.

@Tom-Elliott

So what’s the easiest method to update FOG?

Well I updated via SVN. Still have the issue. I’m also experiencing an issue reading the Dashboard disk usage. I can send you a screenshot of that if you’d like.

You cannot delete members of existing groups…

Also cannot add members to new groups…

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Post that to this thread:

Also, try to clear out multicast stuff in your DB with commands found in here:

[Joe Gill]

How about adding members to a group? I can’t add any members to new or existing groups.

[Wayne Workman]

@Joe-Gill That would be another seperate problem in the current fog trunk that probably doesn’t directly impact the multicast process I’m trying to help you with. Please create a bug report about adding hosts to groups, provide your version and the exact click-for-click steps you’re doing - also include apache error logs from Web Interface -> FOG Config -> Log Viewer -> Apache error logs.

@Wayne-Workman

No problem.

I will create a new post for the group problems.

As for the multicast issue, I have followed the Wiki on clearing the DB. That went smooth. I’ll retry this issue now. Thanks!

[Tom Elliott]

@Joe-Gill I know what’s wrong with the groups, and all other similar type things but I need to drop my truck off at the shop. All will be fixed in a couple of hours ok?

@Wayne-Workman

Ok this is bizarre! I restarted the servers, cleared the DB of non-essentials, stopped and restarted services. Everything appeared to be going well, until it got past the first two partitions. Than the session locked up at the last partition…

I tailed the log file and it showed this…

Any ideas?? I’ll be around until 5:30 PM MST this evening… Thanks!

Awesome! Tom on that note, the multicast session I had problems with… Just took off! So… I jumped the gun! I apologize! Thanks!!

That’s what we call the multicast wait time. The default is 10 minutes, which I think is a bit much in most cases. At work, mine is set at 2 minutes.
Web GUI -> FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> Multicast Settings -> FOG_UDPCAST_MAXWAIT

[Tom Elliott]

Group, and all the other originally broken (but kind of unkown to most) are now fixed.

Please verify for sure, though I have tested just to be somewhat safer.

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott

The group settings change in the update fixed the problem!

Thanks!
