Cant image from FOG Nodes?

[cojohnson]

Hello all,

I ran into this problem after upgrading FOG about a week ago to version 1.3.0-RC-1. After the upgrade, I have not been able to send any images from my 6 storage nodes. I have been able to previously.

I have created 2 locations (default and GREEN) and 2 storage groups (default and GREEN). My images that I am trying to send are assigned to the “default” storage group. I am perplexed because all of the settings look right in FOG

Any help is app

I would suggest that you upgrade to RC5 on all of your storage nodes and your master node. Then we can check into this more. I know there have been about 40 fixes since rc1.

I do believe this is fixed in the latest version if I’m not mistaken, so upgrade upgrade upgrade.

[cojohnson]

Ok. I will give this a try and will let you know the results!

Thanks for the suggestion!

[cojohnson]

I have upgrade all of the fog storage nodes and the server to RC-5. I am still having the same issue. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

@cojohnson Anything in the apache error logs?

[george1421]

@cojohnson Ok I know this isn’t what you want to do in a production environment. But on you master node, change that value to 5. What I’m interest in seeing is if master node =0 then no imaging can happen.

With all of these storage nodes, are you using the location plugin to direct the clients to the right storage node?

[cojohnson]

@george1421

If i set the Master node to 5, imaging will occur. However, like you said, we do not want this and would rather have the nodes handle imaging. Do I have to manually configure the nodes for location services somehow?

I am also getting a bunch of errors in the Apache Log file. I dont know what the errors are referring to? Any ideas?

@cojohnson Those errors will be fixed next release, nothing serious I believe.

Is the host you’re trying to deploy the image to assigned to the correct storage node?

[george1421]

@cojohnson Ooops you ran into a bug in rc5. I think tom posted a “you can fix it patch”. Let me see if I can find it.

[george1421]

@george1421 I think this was the fix/band-aid

https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8238/database-update-failed-after-image-capture/3

With your favorite text editor edit /var/www/fog/lib/fog/fogmanagercontroller.class.php

“change the =& on line number 23 and remove the & symbol”
Then save and exit that file.

I’m not sure on the timing of RC6 being released, it WILL be a few days though.

[cojohnson]

Hmmmnn interesting. I used an ftp client on windows and line 23 contains =& on that file. However, when i view the SAME file on the fog server using vi, vim, and nano i do not see the =& on line 23.

Looks like i will just wait a few days and then upgrade again.

Thanks for all of your help!

[george1421]

@cojohnson Just an update here. I put a request in the developers queue to look at this thread to see if it is similar to the issue I linked. They may be related… or not.

Please wait for their feedback.

[Wayne Workman]

I’m just now reading through this thread, it’s good you updated to RC-5.

The way I’m reading the OP,

You have one node called “DefaultMember”, in an earlier picture from Location Management, it’s listed twice, with two different locations and two different storage groups. In a later picture from Storage Management, I only see one storage group, “default”.

Another thing to note is that “DefaultMember” 's max clients is set to 0 in a picture above. This would mean it would not image anything at all, because max clients is zero.

Maybe it’s best to explain what you’re trying to accomplish first?

Also, you may find this article and the video in it highly helpful:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Location_Plugin

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman I think this is absolutely what’s happening.

The task queue is seeing 0 before that host, but since there are 0 available slots, it will NEVER make it that far. At least not for that particular node.

Remember, the location definitions are based on Group and Group/Node pairings. Do you have a second storage group named “Green”? Is there a second node that uses “Green” but is named DefaultMember?

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott So, below he says if he sets the node to something besides 0 that things image.

But, what I’d like is screenshots taken all at once of location management listing and storage management node listing. No changes between the pictures.

And, I’d like a detailed explanation of what the OP even wants to do.

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman The last part was a partial bug in the location plugin. It would allow a user to change the group of a node, rather than ensuring the node’s group defined the group the location was pointing it. It would also allow the user to remove the storage group AND storage node. At the least it should’ve halted editing the removal of group. Those two fixes are in RC-6 now.

[cojohnson]

@Tom-Elliott @Wayne-Workman Thanks for looking into this. I manage 2 school district which is why i was trying to implement 2 locations. “default” being the main district and “GREEN” being the second district.
Originally, The goal was to set up a server to be hosted on site at GREEN but that never happened. Consequently, we do all of the imaging from our building and I currently have all of the “GREEN” images also assign to the “default” storage group.
I do all of the imaging currently at our building.

I set the master to handle clients so I can image for now. This is sufficient for the moment.

Should I upgrade to RC-6

[Wayne Workman]

@cojohnson said in Cant image from FOG Nodes?:

Should I upgrade to RC-6

No. Not right now, there’s line ending problems. Wait on it until things are fixed.

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman They’re already fixed.
