Hello,
This thread is very well referenced by search engines so I complete it with my experience.
I installed a new storage node on my FOG (Debian 8 + 1.5.7) setup (before : web server / central node + two storage nodes, after : web server / central node) + three storage nodes).
During the installation, I failed on question “What is the IP address or hostname of the FOG server running the fog database?”. The default value is the storage node itself. The mysql command given by Wayne Workman worked from my new storage node, the problem was on FOG side.
I understood my mistake. So, I modified “snmysqlhost” in /opt/fog/.fogsettings with the address of the FOG web server / central node.
I restarted the FOG services (systemctl restart FOGSnapinHash FOGImageReplicator FOGImageReplicator FOGImageSize FOGTaskScheduler FOGSnapinReplicator FOGPingHosts FOGMulticastManager).
The problem was still here.
I rebooted the server.
The problem was still here.
I executed installfog.sh a second time on my new storage node. It detected the existing installation. It did some stuff and… the new storage node works fine.
Regards.
