Greetings, I am using Fog 1.2 and trying to multicast a windows 7 image.
when the fist partition /dev/sda1 is restored I get the error , target partition size (212mb is smaller that source 213mb) use option -C to disable size checking(dangerous), it then goes on to with the screen showing starting to restore image to device /dev/sda2, but just hangs on this screen.
please see output from /opt/fog/log/multicast.log.udpcast.10

Thanks for your help,

Thanks Tom, apologies perhaps I was unclear. I am aware of the max wait timeout, but wanted to check if there was a way of starting a multicast session when one or more host failed to join without using the max wait timeout? I.e. something like a force start command…
Thanks very much,

Greetings all, using fog 1.2 is it possible to force a multicast session to start, say in the event that not all hosts in the multicast session were able to join, similar to the function whereby you can use a count down timer for hosts to join.

Thanks very much
Denis

Greetings,

I am trying to upload a Linux (Centos) image using Fog0.32 , but have also tried latest update of Fog 0.33b
Centos has been installed using default options, and on FOG have selected linux as OS.
Fog 0.32 complains thet i have selected Linus as OS while Fog 0.33b. says invalid file system for the second partion.
Can you please advice under what setup or config it is possible to upload a Linux image.

Many Thanks
Denis

Hi Tom, have updated to the v 1124, still having same issues with multicsting as with my earlier post from yesterdat at 5:25, just letting you know, not sure if felt that multucasting should work or if your still working on it.
Thanks

Hi Tom, sorry I have never used active-snapins, all I use is capture and deploy, but the error I am experiencing seem similar to the snapin issue in the latest fog thread.

Hi Tom, built new server with latest v1119, still getting error on /var/log/appache2/error.log.

This is similar to the issues I had with my previous fog sever, and though I has caused the issue.
When I try to run multitask , i get these error, UDP-transmit does not get called.

Thanks again

Thanks Tom, I believe I did restart is, however I ahve since installed phpmyadmin, and apears to have broken my fog installation. Busy setting up a new FOg server and will test again and let you know

Hi Tom, thanks. i have updated to latest version with rtrim included but is still the same, still putting in the two //,
Thanks

Hi Tom, thanks. That has certainly help, sorry just another thing, image is not getting deploy,
Notice below, the gunzip cmd, show the image as /images//win8, suspect this should be /images/win8.

If you dont mind if this is indead a typo can you let me know where I can make this change, much appreciated…

Hi Tom, I have updated to v1117 this morning and tried to test multicasting, however I cant get it to work
I tried it using the different menu, i.e from with task mangement, and group management using multicast to deploy image.
the pc’s in the group stay on the partclone display but they dont start. Also the multicast.log has nothing other than “Checking if I am group manager” , udp-sender is not being called.

I have atached a screen shot of the access log, let me know if I can provide anything further to try troubleshoot, thanks Tom.

Hi Tom, great job regarding the multicasting and all the other improvement you’ve made, I will get a chance on Monday to test it.
Thanks again for your effort!

Hi Tom, Apologies - not sure where I got that file path from.
Thanks very much for looking into this further…

Hi Tom, thanks , the service FOGMulticastManager is running…,
from checking the file, it looks like the multicast cmd comes from /var/www/fog/lib/MulticastTask.class.php
not sure from where and how the file and cmd gets run…

Hi Tom, Thanks for that information and for r1094 update. I have applied the update and this now uses the value on fog settings>FOG_UDPCAST_STARTINGPORT, however just to make you aware there is a minor typo in the {fogwebdir}/lib/fog/Host.class.php , line 641, there is space that needs to be removed to make is work.
Any idea where the udp-sender cmd is being sent from, as in order for multicast to work this cmd currently still needs to be send manually.
Thanks again

Hi Tom,
I have been able to get multitask to work by using a partly manual process,
I ran the following cmd on the fog server-
gunzip -c “/images/win8/d1p1.img” | /usr/local/sbin/udp-sender --min-receivers 24 --portbase 63202 --interface eth1 --max-wait 90 --half-duplex --ttl 32 --nokbd;gunzip -c “/images/win8/d1p2.img” | /usr/local/sbin/udp-sender --min-receivers 24 --portbase 63202 --interface eth1 --max-wait 10 --half-duplex --ttl 32 --nokbd;
this then listens for host connecting ,
I then use the Fog to run a task to deploy to a group of ps using multitask, this the creates the job, in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<pc mac address>
the contents of such a file is below,
DEFAULT fog
LABEL fog
KERNEL fog/kernel/bzImage
APPEND initrd=fog/images/init.gz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns= mac=2c:44:fd:10:20:63 ftp=197.168.1.7 storage=197.168.1.7:/images/ storageip=197.168.1.7 web=197.168.1.7/fog/ osid=6 loglevel=4 consoleblank=0 irqpoll chkdsk=0 img=win8 imgType=mps imgid=4 PIGZ_COMP=-9 hostname=dc8300 port=666 type=down mc=yes
Notice the PORT number is 666, I manually changed this on each is the files above to port 63202, when I ran the gunzip cmd using port 666 the multi tak did not seem to work and pc stayed waiting on the partclone screen.
Would you be able to help or point me in the right direction,
Which bit sets multitask to use port 666?, what mechanism caused the above gunzip cmd to run.
Thanks Tom,
Denis

Hi Tom, below are messages seen in /var/log/apache2/error.log file

Let me know if you need the whole file, thanks

forgot to add, the issue seen when trying to multicast is that pc.s in the group stay on screen display partclone, but they never start,
see attached image, incase its of any help to anyone. Thanks

[url=“/_imported_xf_attachments/0/476_partclone.jpg?:”]partclone.jpg[/url]

Thanks Tom, I have updated to r1083, imaged pc.s no longer hang on no active task found for host…, and pc reboots after image getts deployed. Multicasting does not work yet, , many Thanks again for your help, trying to learn and understand fog better and hopefully can one day help contribute…THanks

I am using fog0.33b latest build as far as I know ( not sure how to check through) I have manged to upload a windows 8 image , using legacy boot devices, and have then deployed that image to another pc, worked ok. however each time I deploy an image after the partclone bit the the pc updates database , get cat:co.txt:no such file or directory…followed repeatedly by no active task found for host…( attached image) also I dont believe multicast is working with 0.33b , any update or help with any of these issues would be appriciated , thanks everyone !!
