update database Failed..while capturing first image

[sam240]

Server

• FOG Version: 1.3.5-RC-10
• OS: Centos 7 (centos-release-7-3.1611.el7.centos.x86_64)

Client

• Service Version:
• OS: Windows 7

Description

This is the first time I’m capturing an image and it fails at updating database.

I tested to put a test file after connecting to ftp via windows machine and I get this error

My username and passwords are the same for the fog account on the linux box as under storage management and TFTP server under fog settings.

I also looked at the /opt/fog/.fogsettings and username fog is set and password is the same.
I chmod 777 /images folder and the dev folder under it.
Firewall is not blocking anything because I can see the change.

One thing I did notice is that I ran sudo chown -R fog:root /images/dev it looks like this if I run

ls -laR /images/dev
/images/dev/68f72858dfdf:
total 2000
drwxrwxrwx. 2 fog root     158 Mar  3 12:00 .
drwxrwxrwx. 4 fog root      66 Mar  2 14:55 ..
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 fog root       3 Mar  3 12:00 d1.fixed_size_partitions
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 fog root 1048576 Mar  3 12:00 d1.mbr
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 fog root     190 Mar  3 12:00 d1.minimum.partitions
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 fog root      30 Mar  3 12:00 d1.original.fstypes
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 fog root       0 Mar  3 12:00 d1.original.swapuuids
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 fog root     190 Mar  3 12:00 d1.partitions

Now after I boot the computer and try to capture the image, I receive the error and I run the ls -laR /images/dev command again, the permissions change to this.

ls -laR /images/dev
/images/dev/68f72858dfdf:
total 2000
drwxrwxrwx. 2 fog  root     158 Mar  3 12:02 .
drwxrwxrwx. 4 fog  root      66 Mar  2 14:55 ..
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root       3 Mar  3 12:02 d1.fixed_size_partitions
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 1048576 Mar  3 12:02 d1.mbr
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     190 Mar  3 12:02 d1.minimum.partitions
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root      30 Mar  3 12:02 d1.original.fstypes
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root       0 Mar  3 12:02 d1.original.swapuuids
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     190 Mar  3 12:02 d1.partitions

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong at this point. This is the first time I’m using Fog. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I deleted the entire machine and rebuilt the VM and followed centos OS instructions this time which resolved the problem. I’m able to capture now without any issues.

just an fyi for anyone installing this on centos 7 this is the guide I used.

It looks, to me, like your disk space is all used up? (Possibly)

Hi Tom,

Any other thoughts?

What’s concerming is the dev folder is missing the the d1p1.img file (or any other files.

This isn’t the cause for failure to upload, but it’s concerning non-the-less. Do you know what happened to it.

The failure, as I’m seeing it, appears to be the information in Storage Node is not matching up possibly?

Have you run through the whole FTP Troubleshooting guide?

I never had the d1p1.img file. I just installed fog yesterday. Storage Node information is the same as the ftp. I verified.
I did troubleshoot the ftp off of my windows machines. I can successfully login to ftp but I can’t create or list files. I receive an error 425 Failed to establish connection even though I’m connected.

Did you set selinux to permissive? Did you turn off firewall, or at least configure it properly?

selinux

I disabled the firewall to test and also selinux is set to permissive
I want to clarify, I changed the local fog user password on the centos machine and made the Storage Nod password and Tftp the same after.
