      @Sebastian-Roth we have just tried some multicast sessions and it looks like that everything is working well now.

    • RE: Multicast ended good. Next multicast session problems

      @Sebastian-Roth

      I’m starting the multicast session in this way:

      • Create a group or use an exsisting group
      • Add the members to the group (most of the time 10 members are in this group)
      • Add a group image to this group
      • Add snapins to this group
      • Basic tasks -> Multicast

    • Multicast ended good. Next multicast session problems

      Hello,

      First of all, FOG is very nice tool and i already have more then 1500 hosts in the listing.

      But now I have a problem with the multicast session after i updated FOG to 1.5.8
      The problem is when a multicast session is ended the udp-sender still exsist and there is still a record in the database from this session.
      When i start next time a multicast session with other clients the session won’t start at all. I need to clear the database, kill the upd sender and need to restart the FOGMulticastManager and then i need to restart the multicast session and all clients in the group should be restarted.

      mysql -u root <-p password> fog
      truncate table multicastSessions;
      truncate table multicastSessionsAssoc;
      exit;
      
      sudo service FOGMulticastManager stop
      sudo killall udp-sender
      sudo killall udp-sender
      sudo killall udp-sender
      sudo service FOGMulticastManager start
      

      I’m out of any suggestions to try. Is there anything that i can try?

      Thanks in advance!

    • RE: PXE UEFI boot problems

      Sorry for the delay. I had some other problems to resolve.

      Now the ASUS (EEE family) A4110 can boot from the PXE network. But i still have some clients with UEFI that can’t boot.
      They have the following error:

      Server IP address is 10.54.68.102
      NBP filename is ipxe.efiÿ
      NBP filesize is 0 Bytes
      PXE-E23: Client recieved TFTP error from server
      

      It looks like that this ÿ is wrong. Any suggestions to resolve this? I have included tcpdump on the following link.

      Many thanks.

      There is no hardware issue, because if i rule out the workstation to the imaging network it boot into iPXE with UEFI

      Yes indeed.
      That’s the strange thing…it don’t boot into iPXE
      If i do the following command on the “client network” in Windows it download succesfully the file

      F:\>tftp -i 10.54.68.102 GET ipxe.efi
      Transfer successful: 994176 bytes in 1 second(s), 994176 bytes/s

      1. Fog version: 1.5.0
      2. ASUS (EEE family) A4110
      3. No firmware changes
      4. Secure boot is disabled on target computer

      When i connect this computer to the “quarantine network” it can boot from UEFI.
      If i connect it back to the “client network” it can’t boot from UEFI…

      @george1421 said in PXE UEFI boot problems:

      @eazis Ok, when you use industry specific key words like ‘quarantine’, I wanted to make sure there wasn’t something more going on here than expected.

      So for your business network, you want to do point to point (unicast) imaging only? If you want to do multicast imaging your router between the two subnets must support multicast routing.

      OK to your initial question. The issue you have is your dhcp server on your business network doesn’t support dynamic boot files. If you want to pxe boot both uefi and bios (legacy mode) computers, your dhcp server needs to be smart enough to send the appropriate boot file based on the pxe booting client computer. In the case of the fog server, it uses isc-dhcp server which has a specific configuration to dynamically switch between the two boot files.

      So if your dhcp server doesn’t support this you can use a ProxyDhcp server (like dnsmasq) to only supply the pxe booting information. This is not a dhcp server replacement (it can be, but not in this instance), but a dhcp add on function called ProxyDHCP. Where the dnsmasq server listens for a discover request from a pxe booting client and sends out a ProxyDHCP offer in addition to your primary dhcp server sending out a dhcp offer.

      Dnsmasq (or any other ProxyDHCP service) can run on the fog server, or on a windows or linux box on your business network.

      In the client network (business network) there are only clients for UEFI. So there is no need for BIOS (legacy).
      I don’t need dynamic boot files on this network. So i thought if i change the filename to ipxe.efi then it will start in UEFI but this is only what i get

      Checking Media Presence...
      Media Present
      Start PXE over IPv4.
      Downloading NBP File...
      Succeed to download NBP file
      

      After this it goes to boot into Windows.

      If i change the filename back to undionly.kkpxe and change the BIOS to non-UEFI it will start over PXE.

      @george1421

      Because if the FOG server isn’t in the quarantine network i can’t do a multicast task.
      There a plenty of multicast tasks on this network everyday and this is the fastest way to do these multicast tasks.

      Yes there is a routing between this two networks. In the client network i can ping the fog server and visa versa.
