Hi @willian
With this screenshot I think you have problems with the dirty bit or the hiberfile mark on ntfs block device /dev/sda1.

You can do something like:

on the fog.postinit script

if [[ ${osid} -eq 9 ]]
then
ntfsfix -d /dev/sda1
## Begin put here the rest of ntfs partitions if you want

## End
mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile  /dev/sda1 /mnt
umount /mnt
fi

This is the idea. I have code like that in my fog.postinit and fog.postdownload script to grant access to the file system to deploy drivers and hostinfo data on fog.
Can you repeat on every ntfs partition.
Maybe it works.

It’s good to have this page, but in some cases, with a largest list of nodes, an if you have some nodes stopped by maintennance, can be to slow to load.

I think that is better not to have to wait for that list to go to fog settings page.

It’s not the same wait for a page that you don’t want to visit, than wait for a page that you want to visit.

Hi @Fernando-Gietz

We have our images configured to install and configure fog-client on the first-boot.

We use a custom service to do it but It’s possible to do it as a scheduled task when a NetworkProfile event is rised too.

Our service configuration is:
sc.exe config FOGService start=delayed-auto
sc.exe failure FOGService actions= restart/60000/restart/60000/restart/ reset= 120.

I think that is missing lan driver, because it don’t try the udhcpd requests, but better report the kernel version to get response.

If you can’t get the kernel version download a 4.12.x or upper, assign it to the computer and try if it works, if it works you can set it as default on fog settings page.

@fry_p Maybe too late, but in addition to complete a few:

You can configure the fog client to delayed-auto and to reboot the service on each error with the commands below recommended before start it:

sc.exe config FOGService start=delayed-auto
sc.exe failure FOGService actions= restart/60000/restart/60000/restart/ reset= 120.

@sebastian-roth I’m not an expert on development, but i’m a multidisciplinary sysadmin, with php knowledges, currently I had made UI changes, system changes, and had on production my own not ended plugin (multihomed location, snapins from webserver, multicast not implemented) (really is based on yours location code), on my little bit big environment, at this moment i think a have time to donate where you think that is needed, I’ll be pleased to make a try, and if it’s convenient and possible make an enrollment… Thanks so much for your great work

Try configuring the servicio with this:

sc.exe config FOGService start=delayed-auto
sc.exe failure FOGService actions= restart/60000/restart/60000/restart/ reset= 120.

It work’s to save me from stopping Fogservice errors.

@Sebastian-Roth

this is a simply example, security is by your side:

#!/bin/bash
SERVER=$1
USERNAME=$2
PASSWORD=$3
FILE=$4  
USER_TO_LAST=$5
echo "Result from last $USER_TO_LAST" &> $FILE
last $USER_TO_LAST &>> $FILE     
lftp -u $USERNAME,$PASSWORD $SERVER << EOF
put $FILE           
EOF

Configure as on image:
Snapin template is bash.

Tested on Linux Mint 19.

@sebastian-roth For your knowledge, I submit the information that you provides me to ACER, it seems like they go to help us with this, I continue the post with the solution if we reach it, at the same time if you have time I like to continue with this problem…

@dpullin verify that all the macs are registered on the same host,

@george1421 I confirm that exist powershell template :D:D:D .

@ayashkam You can do it, The automated snapin execution is basic for me, my images are living entities and my software requirements continously changes (Education environment with more than 250 different sites and more than 15.500 computers).

I have my image’s configured to install fogclient and start it on the first boot, you can do it with the unattended deployment procedures (setupcomplete.cmd) for example if you sysprep the images or use other ways like scheduling it at start up.

I download the installer with the postdownloadscript to ensure that the current version is installed. Take care because at the moment that you run the service the snapins start to be executed, you can have problems with another installations or the configuration can be disrupted by needed reboots. You know your systems and must take the cautions needed.

@eduardotseoane @sebastian-roth @george1421 @Fernando-Gietz

Problem solved with last development ipxe.efi

https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/tree/dev-branch/packages/tftp

@kallum-redgrave I recomend to do an unattended installation of fog-client from the setupcomplete.cmd instead install it on the image:

https://docs.fogproject.org/en/latest/getting_started/install_fog_client.html

and execute this commands, after installation:
sc.exe config FOGService start=delayed-auto
sc.exe failure FOGService actions= restart/60000/restart/60000/restart/ reset= 120
net start fogservice

this configure the service to start delayed and restart on failure.

@fry_p I use 1536M to list 15.225 pc’s.

Little question,
Have you restart php-fpm and httpd services?
I forget to do it when i did the change and…

Understand, isn’t it?

@tesparza if my memory works well we had some little schools working on that way, with all the netboot jailed on local Network, except node data base queries from node to máster/data base, with a few of lesser changes on boot scripts. Foro fogclient need routing to máster…

Hi:

We have an implementation with 1 master, 77 nodes (growing), placed on diferent citys, and nearly 14.500 (Growing) clients.
We are using the ControlAccess, Site, Locations, TaskTypeEdit and in a future FileIntegrity plugins.

We have a litle problem with the interface on Site and Location Interface. On each update group location and group site information FOG retrieve a white page, with the text {“msg”:“Group updated!”,“title”:“Group Update Success”} instead the green dialog.

I to solve this i must to change:
On hooks/addsitegroup.hook.php
Line 147:
. ‘id=“updatesite”>’ updated with . ‘id=“group-edit”>’
On hooks/addlocationgroup.hook.php
Line 153:
. ‘id=“updateloc”>’ updated with . ‘id=“group-edit”>’

It seems to work correctly now, but i don’t know if i can get future problems with this.

Thanks to all for your time and work on this Project.

@fry_p Yeah I read it, but my first hit is to keep it more simplest as posible, I think that before to start to implement that it’s bette to do lesser works, there are a few months than I’m thinking that myISAM is not an optimal engine for this, almost for me, and I’m alone as FOG Sysadmin and need to keep my workload under control, I have not much experience with clusters and load balancing, and it’s no so good.

When I can I share documentation about our installation and customizations.

Adding a comment:

Currently we are using false nodes to change the multicast tasks. I mean

To make multicast tasks on desired vlan we are creating a second master node to the location’s storage group, with nic an ip assigned on the vlan that we want to do the task and with false user/password to avoid a redundant synchronization.

By the moment, this solution is working with version 1.5.6 of Master and Nodes.

The node must be precedent on alphabetic order to the real node.

@Sebastian-Roth @fry_p @george1421

Update results:

Currently the server is 8 days uptime.
workload average ±9
workload average max: ±14
checking time = 900s
clients = 17000
Storage nodes = 110
Plugins enabled = Location

@sebastian-roth

I update the server to dev-branch and and again, it happens.

Editing Snapins:
On Add/Remove/Update Storage Groups
On Add/Remove hosts on Membership

as a dirty temporal patch I add this code to solve it:

$this->obj->set('description', htmlspecialchars_decode($this->obj->get('description')));
$this->obj->set('name', htmlspecialchars_decode($this->obj->get('name')));
$this->obj->set('args', htmlspecialchars_decode($this->obj->get('args')));
$this->obj->set('hash', htmlspecialchars_decode($this->obj->get('hash')));
$this->obj->set('runWith', htmlspecialchars_decode($this->obj->get('runWith')));
$this->obj->set('runWithArgs', htmlspecialchars_decode($this->obj->get('runWithArgs')));
$this->obj->set('timeout', htmlspecialchars_decode($this->obj->get('timeout')));
