Multicast won't start

Wayne Workman

@Towndrunk Can you please try the below steps that I posted for the other guy now?

Pascal Gazaille

@Wayne-Workman Once the multicast job is done, is it supposed to disapear from the DB ‘multicastSessions’?

Wayne Workman

@Pascal-Gazaille It’s supposed to be marked as done, at least. There’s been work in this area, I’m going to defer to @Tom-Elliott on that question.

Tom Elliott

We’re at 1.3.0-RC-8, which I know addresses issues on multicast closing. This should be fixed now, so YES it should. NO need to defer, please update and see if all is well.

Towndrunk

@Wayne-Workman I went in and followed the steps listed below. I’m assuming that these are the steps that you were asking me to do?

mysql> DELETE FROM `multicastSessions` WHERE 1;
Query OK, 15 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> DELETE FROM `multicastSessionsAssoc` WHERE 1;
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> DELETE FROM `tasks` WHERE `taskTypeID` = 8;
Query OK, 42 rows affected (0.01 sec)

I then restarted the service, and tested again. I got the same results.

@Towndrunk Can you repeat the steps to clean the DB, then update to RC-8 (installing RC-8 will restart fog multicast manager as part of the upgrade), then try again?

Towndrunk

@Wayne-Workman I can do that. I am already running RC-8 though. I ran the upgrade this morning before doing the steps to clean the DB. If you want me to, I can repeat the process now.

@Towndrunk No, don’t bother then.

Now, once the Multisession is started the first computer will join and sit on the same screen as it always has, but now the second computer will not connect. It does all of the checks, but then Attempts to check in and fails. . .

Is there a limit on how long you have to join the Multicast? I just tried another test and set it up for timeout of 10 minutes. I was able to get the first one added, however once I went to the second one it was not able to find the Session I created.

The odd thing is that if I send an image to any of these the individually I have no issues at all. I just assumed that the Multicast would be quicker if we were doing a group all at once. If I have to, I can just go back to doing them individually.

Pascal Gazaille

@Wayne-Workman @Tom-Elliott Just wanted to thank you guys, great support for a great product!

BedCruncher

@Towndrunk
There is a setting under the header Multicast Settings that is called FOG_UDPCAST_MAXWAIT you might look there to see if that is where you set the 10 minute timeout.

Wayne Workman

@Towndrunk Try to multicast to a group with just one host in it. Use groups to create the multicast task. See what happens. At this point, I just want to see if multicast is working at all.

Towndrunk

@Wayne-Workman I made a group called Multicast and added one computer to that group. I sent a multicast to that computer, and powered it on. It comes to the same screen as it has in the past, and sits there. It doesn’t appear to be doing anything, and I’m not sure how to interpret what the logs say it is doing. . . It just continues to post the “Task (4) Multi-Cast Task is already running PID 28433”

@Towndrunk Can you read through this article please?
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_Downloading_-_Multicast

And, after you’re done reading through it, please just go over the settings it mentions. If all those look good, try the test in that article.

Towndrunk

@Wayne-Workman the settings for the network are correct in the Interface setting for the Storage Management. I do not have another Linux machine running at this time to perform the test. I will have to get a live-boot going and perform the test. I’ll let you know the results once I’m done.

Wayne Workman

@Towndrunk said in Multicast won't start:

I do not have another Linux machine running at this time to perform the test.

Do a debug-deploy with fog, and you have made a linux console out of whatever computer you want. Debug is an option on the confirmation page for any FOS task.
