Description

Just wondering about FOG server versions and client versions.

At the moment i have FOG server 7208 running with legacy clients and 9.0.12 clients.

I have an issue where my server CPU runs at 100% all the time during the day when the pcs are talking to FOG.

Im planning on upgrading the legacy clients to 9.0.12 and then upgrading the FOG server, but i cant upgrade the server until the clients have upgraded.

Does anyone have a list of Server and Client compatibly? I did upgrade to 1.3.0 rc14 awhile ago, but the old legacy clients did not talk to the server, so printers and snapins did not deploy. So i had to go back to the previous snapshot.

Is there a version of FOG server that will talk to the legacy client and the 9.0.12 client newer than the version i have. Im hoping this will sort the 100% CPU usage issue. I have seen on the forums that the new clients are sending a of chat to the server and its fixed in later versions, but i dont want to upgrade yet because of the old legacy client.

High CPU usage info:

Please, I’d highly recommend updating to the RC versions of FOG.

First, we’ve updated the new client to a much less intensive system of receiving its data (most likely will fix your CPU 100% issue, after the clients have a shot at updating.)

There’s been loads of improvements beyond that itself. We’ve been RC’s for a few months now, and while it’s still not “perfect” it’s eons above the performance and capabilities of the 7000 versions, and even the 8000 versions.

Please update and I think you’ll find many of these issues will be corrected for.

[Tom Elliott]

And, all versions of trunk/rc shouldn’t have much issue working with both versions (New and Legacy) of the clients, though I’d highly recommend getting every system on the new client for security and performance reasons.

Ok great, il look at scheduling a server upgrade.

Many thanks

@Tom-Elliott

Upgraded both Server and Node to 1.3.0 RC22 last night.

Now i get an error with the storage node “A valid database connection could not be made”

Iv checked my passwords and it all seems to be ok.

Any ideas?

Ok i try to login to my database; doesnt connect.

/fogproject# sudo mysql -h 10.1.9.235 -u fogstorage -p -A fog
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'fogstorage'@'10.1.9.217' (using password: YES)

SET PASSWORD FOR 'fogstorage'@'%' = PASSWORD('new-password-here'); FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Seems to have resolved my issues
