UNSOLVED WOL

[adukes40]

Server

• FOG Version: RC-11
• OS: Unbuntu 14.04

Client

• Service Version: 11.5
• OS: Win7

Description

WOL doesn’t seem to be working at remote sites (haven’t been able to test at master using GUI)

I installed the wakeonlan program on the remote server, and was able to WOL by typing in the MAC address. But it would not if I set a WOL task from the GUI

I also installed the WOL program on the master. I remoted in and shutdown a machine, then sent the WOL from the master server, and it seemed to work. However, like I said I have not been able to test sending it from the server yet. (might get to later tonight).

So I seems like my network is passing WOL packets, and clients seem to be waking, but not from the tasks created in the GUI.

@Wayne-Workman He already did, it’s how I know it was already pushed and is working.

[Wayne Workman]

@adukes40 Hear that? please re-pull and update all nodes again.

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman It’s already fixed in latest.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott There must be some sort of problem with storage node WOL, it’s the only thing left. I have a storage node here at home that I can test with - will get back here in a few.

[adukes40]

@Tom-Elliott just changed them all to rc-14

[Tom Elliott]

@adukes40 And all nodes are on the same version?

[adukes40]

@Tom-Elliott

http://10.103.72.49/fog/management/index.php?sub=wakeEmUp&mac=b8:ac:6f:3d:6e:a4 = master node, nothing

http://10.106.2.149/fog/management/index.php?sub=wakeEmUp&mac=b8:ac:6f:3d:6e:a4 = node where machine is located, nothing. States this is a node and not to use the web interface.

can run wol utility from 10.106.2.149 to the mac, and it wakes up.

[Tom Elliott]

@adukes40 If you have multiple nodes, you may need to try testing using those other nodes as a starting point.

[adukes40]

@Tom-Elliott On RC-14. still no wol for me. I’m not sure what else I can check.

@Tom-Elliott

switched to RC-14.

We tested the URL (also changed order) and the group wake-up directly in FOG. Each test was realized with three clients.
All clients woke-up! Great work @Tom-Elliott and @Wayne-Workman.

Thanks a lot!

[Tom Elliott]

I ask this because the sooner I know the sooner I’ll release RC-14.

[Tom Elliott]

We (being @Wayne-Workman and me) found the issue, hopefully, and think we have fixed it.

Please give it a shot.

You can try installing the working-RC-14 branch. ( @mp12 and @adukes40 only please).

[Wayne Workman]

@mp12 invaluable information, thank you. I have to sit down and test WOL with @Tom-Elliott and get this resolved ASAP.

[Tom Elliott]

@mp12 not that it will help the issue at hand but mind upping to 13?

[mp12]

Seems like the last client inside a group or inside the URL wakes up.

@Tom-Elliott
Running RC-12 Version 46
Tested URL with different MAC Addresses and different number of clients. We also changed the order of addresses.
Everytime we execute the URL, the last MAC in the row wakes up

@Wayne-Workman
We have different size of groups. Now we tested a group with two clients and the second client in the group woke up. First one still off.

@mp12 said in WOL:

@Tom-Elliott

• A single host wake-up in FOG GUI works fine.

• WOL via URL

http://x.x.x.x/fog/management/index.php?sub=wakeEmUp&mac=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff

works.

• A Group wake-up via FOG GUI won’t work. I don’t get any error in the /var/log/apache/error.log.

If you try the URL as:

http://x.x.x.x/fog/management/index.php?sub=wakeEmUp&mac=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff|ab:bc:cd:de:ef
Does it give the same issue? NOTE: The | and immediate following MAC Address. The second, third, or xth number of MAC’s don’t necessarily have to be “real” macs.

If that works, try replacing the “order” of the macs. So if aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff is your “valid” mac address, and you put it at the end of the “string” does it work? This will help me try to figure out what’s needed to happen.

@mp12, if I recall you’re running the “working-RC-12” branch right?

[Wayne Workman]

@mp12 how many are in the group? Please try a group of two. If either of them wake up, let us know and we will have more tests for you.

[mp12]

bump.

Still having the problem when trying to wake-up a group of clients. They won’t wake up.
Wake-up of a single client works.
