So I tried both of the udp-sender commands

 udp-sender --file /opt/fog/.fogsettings --log /tmp/multicast.log  --ttl 32 --nopointopoint --interface em2

which results in

13:41:14.387632 Using mcast address 232.168.240.10
13:41:14.387698 UDP sender for /opt/fog/.fogsettings at 192.168.240.10 on em2 
13:41:14.387708 Broadcasting control to 224.0.0.1

displaying in the logs and then no task found

and also

 cat /images/W7Px64PreSysprep/d1p1.img | /usr/local/sbin/udp-sender --interface em2 --min-receivers 2 --max-wait 600 --portbase 50028 --full-duplex --ttl 32 --nokbd --nopointopoint;cat /images/W7Px64PreSysprep/d1p2.img | /usr/local/sbin/udp-sender --interface em2 --min-receivers 2 --max-wait 600 --portbase 50028 --full-duplex --ttl 32 --nokbd --nopointopoint;

which results in the same message as above, but not the repeated no active task found entries. I also updated to build 7470 earlier. It is acting differently. I don’t see that the udp-sender and udp-receiver are talking any more.

Hey guys, I had to step away over the weekend. Has there been any new updates?

@Tom-Elliott
No it’s not. I have the em2 interface controlling the DHCP server and have a cable running to a 5 port Gig switch. It’s a dumb switch with no special routing or anything. I even checked under the dhcpd.leases file and can find it there.

lease 192.168.240.30 {
  starts 4 2016/04/28 12:50:28;
  ends 4 2016/04/28 18:50:28;
  cltt 4 2016/04/28 12:50:28;

  rewind binding state free;
  hardware ethernet 00:26:b9:aa:14:ec;
  uid "\001\000&\271\252\024\354";
}

EDIT:
Updated to build 7410 this morning to hopefully see if it might have been fixed.
EDIT 2:
Updated and initiated a new test and still getting the same results.

@Tom-Elliott
Here’s the info. I also compared it to a second host that I had added to a group for multitasking, and it appears identical, barring the mac address of course. Let me know what else you can recommend and I’ll be glad to accommodate.

I’ve updated to version 7386 to try and get this part of things fixed. Will post back once I test this.

I can see that they are running as expected.

@Sebastian-Roth said in Multicast Issues on Centos 7:

service FOGMulticastManager restart
tail -f /var/log/fog/multicast.log

Below is what that shows.

tail -f /var/log/fog/multicast.log

Can you verify the permissions that you have on that logfile? such as user, group, and file permissions? No, I completely understand, I was just trying to post that in the hopes that it would provide at least some extra information for your troubleshooting.

On my system the path /var/log/fog is actually a symlink to /opt/fog/log and I didn’t create this manually. Had to have been put in place on the installation.

As near as I can tell fog is never actually writing to the multicast.log file. It was only getting what I had posted earlier when it was manually ran during the udp-sender/udp-receiver testing.

Following that screen, I let it run for a bit, then while it was doing the invalid session scrolling, I deleted and reinitiated a multicast session and it’s hanging at the same spot as previous.

On a side note, I went in earlier and completely wiped out my current install according to Uninstall Fog and then reinstalled earlier this morning and the multicast portion didn’t show up at all until manually ran touch /opt/fog/log/multicast.log and the selection was also missing from the Log Viewer menu. I verified the file permissions of that file compared to the other longs under that directory.

@Sebastian-Roth

So I started the multicast session from my server this morning and checked the Multicast Log from the webgui, but I am not seeing that that command has fired off in the logs. Also, I don’t see the udp task showing up in my process list. Excuse my ignorance, but did I do something incorrect?

EDIT:
The command to at least trigger the process has worked though as it starts the process of trying to do the imaging but hangs at the same spot as before. Any guidance would be helpful.

Just realized maybe you were referring to have me run the UDP-Sender / UDP-Receiver commands manually?

@Sebastian-Roth said in Multicast Issues on Centos 7:

exec(“/sbin/ip addr | awk -F’[ /]+’ ‘/global/ {print $3}’”,$IPs,$retVal);

No worries Sebastian, I’m just trying to get the exact information you’re requesting. Want to make sure that you get the pertinent information for your question so that we can get this figured out 100%.

I changed the function back to what you posted from current trunk. I had attempted to change it in relation to the
FOG .32 Centos 7 Instructions, but to no avail.

Keep the ideas coming. I’d love to put this one to bed and get back to using this awesome software!

I’ve updated my current install version to 7300 earlier today and tried to again reapply the fix specified in the wiki to change the command for the function getIPAddress in the file fogbase.class.php and not in the file FOGCore.Class.php

exec("/sbin/ip addr list em2 | grep -o '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}/[0-9]\{1,2\}' | cut -d/ -f1", $arR, $retVal);

@Sebastian-Roth said in Multicast Issues on Centos 7:

ps ax | grep udp

Are you saying I need to do this from the debug boot or schedule a normal multicast and run something along the lines of

watch -n 5 'ps aux | grep udp'

@Wayne-Workman

Using one of the links, can’t remember which. I was able to get the server and client to send using the udp-sender and udp-receiver. So I know they can talk, but I had to use the command.

udp-sender --file /opt/fog/.fogsettings --log /opt/fog/log/multicast.log  --ttl 32 --nopointopoint --interface em2

if I dropped the last bit off then it would still try to grab em1 instead of em2.

@Tom-Elliott

Sorry… I’ve verified this as above and the settings are what I would expect for both the IP Address and the interface.

I’ve verified that the interface is set correctly in the storage management on the web gui. It has em2 listed there. I’ve also truncated the tables specified in the first link and restarted the services. Still hanging.

I am getting in the multicast log

12:42:29.341277 UDP sender for /opt/fog/.fogsettings at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on em1
12:42:29.341288 Broadcasting control to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
12:44:54.434308 Using mcast address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

It seems to be ignoring the specified interface in the .fogsettings file.

I had to make one modification to the UDP-Cast command in that it shows the clients connecting if I specify em2 instead of em1.

I am having issues with getting multicasting to work. I am currently running Centos 7 that is patched and up to date. I have also went out and installed the latest FOG Trunk version (as of today) 7264.

I can get it to start booting and doing the image restore, but it hangs on the partclone screen “Start to restore image” . Is there anything I can try to get this working?

EDIT:
I’ve also went in and modified the rc.local file as specified at FOG Centos 7

EDIT 2:
I am running a dual NIC configuration
Em1 is DHCP
Em2 is static set with address 192.168.240.10 and DHCP server on that interface
