I have another Lab with 24 PC’s. Also Lenove M910. I don t need these PC on Monday. These PC’s are in a different Sub net 192.168.1.0\24 and have their own FOG Server (running Debian 9.5). There is the Version 1.5.4 installed.
I can test there what ever you want …

@george1421
Hi,
Are you SURE you don’t have 2 www.conf files?
Yes I think so:
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 19K Sep 1 00:15 www.conf

I think it is ok! I changed the www.conf on the 1 Sep - the log entry is on 31-Aug-2018 at 20:37:21
So the log file informs about the old config?!
Also have you reviewed the multicast logs
Can I upload the log files? Yes there are a lot of informations - meaningless to me.
And for some background information.
1) The target computers deploy OK with unicast. The stop deploying with multicast at the first screen of partclone. It looks to me they are waiting that all computers get ready. But they never do … Finally all the PC’s show the same picture. I can do a picture when my deployment is finished.
I was able to deploy multicast with FOG 1.4.4 and 1.5.4. The Version 1.5.4 had the trouble with “Update Database”. The Deployment istself worked fine. On all PC’s the image was completely. Some of them didn’t join my domain. But all of them where running the windows 10 image

2) I have one class with 25 PCs, the second with 36 PCs. There are three (a, b, c) D-Link Switches DGS1210
a) the FOG Server, the Green Interface from IP Fire, 25 PCs and the connection to the other two switches
b) 18 Clients of the 36 PCs
c) 18 Clients of the 36 PCs

3) Yes all Computer are in one subnet
192.168.0.0\24
The Client PCs get their IP via DHCP form an IPFire. The IP adresses are fixed.

All of them are nearly identical hardware
Lenovo I5 with SSD and 8GB RAM delivered 201808
The only difference is the size of the second hard disc - I think irrelevant to FOG.

@george1421
another interesting point is:
I cannot deploy an image direct on the client Computer:
If I start the PC I get the normal FOG Welcome screen.
If I select Deploy Image, I’m asked for the password. But it does not Deploy the image; immediately I get the FOG Welcome screen again. Another attempt: The User and the password is still on the FOG Welcome screen???

Another attempt with a different user: same behavior.

I can deploy the image from the Web Interface …

@george1421
Good Morning Georg,
I’ve a working web GUI.
FOG was deploying 30 PC over night but without multicast. The image size is about 50GB.

Sorry I don’t know what to change.
/home/kratkale# cat /etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf | grep -v ‘;’| grep -v ^$

[www]
user = www-data
group = www-data
listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 50
pm.start_servers = 5
pm.min_spare_servers = 5
pm.max_spare_servers = 10
pm.max_requests = 2000
php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 256M

So what to do? Multicast stopped at the beginning of partclone;

Thank you Alexander

@george1421
installation working fine;
Multicast is not working …
I tried the installed Kernel and also 4.15.2
The process stops when all devices are in the first partclone blue screen

Deploying to a single computer works fine.

@george1421
download from the FOG Webpage

sorry I’ve to wait …

@george1421

yes I can do that - but there is no /root/fogproject
shall I create it?

@george1421

No - it is not working …

There is only one file:

/etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

@george1421
No Problem - thank you for your help. On Monday school starts again and last week I got 87 new Computers.

I will make some comments - maybe it helps someone …

Well I use Debian net install 9.5 (installed 20180826)

vi /etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 256M
This entry is commeted out and with a value of 32M
pm.max_requests = 2000
This entry is in the Debian Version like you suggest
pm.max_childrend = 35
Here the Debian value is 5
pm.min_spare_servers = 5
Here the Debian value is 1
pm.start_servers = 5
Here the Debian value is2

I can already confirm that the 4.15.2 Kernel is better. With the kernel after the FOG installation it took several minutes to delete the MPR Partition.

Thank you so much for you help. Funny I use the FOG Server since many years - everything worked all the time out of the box.

Now I cannot open the FOG Webinterface:

Service Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) Server at 192.168.0.196 Port 80

mhm

@george1421
It did not solve the problem;
still waiting

1. updating Database …
2. Reattemting to update database …
3. …
   what to do?

@kratkale

found it …
just click on "DefaultMember FOG Version: (1.5.4)

@george1421
can I see which kernel is used at the moment?

I’m using FOG Version 1.5.4. A brand new FOG installation on a brand new net installation of Debian 9.5. The host Computer is a HP7700 with 2GB Ram (about 500MB used) and the cpu is idle with 99%.

When a multicast deployment is nearly finished I get the message:

Service Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) Server at 192.168.0.196 Port 80

“Reattempting to update database …”
…
This message repeats, repeats …

Then the PC’s are rebooting.

The deployed image is working.

While the Deploymentprocess is stucked I can also not use the web interface of FOG. It is loaaaaaaaaaading.

If I deploy more then 12 PC’s some of the windows systems do not join the domain … I tried multicast with 56 PC’s

@Zerpie
I solved a similar problem with clonzilla …

…
The second problem was solved with the help of clonzilla:
Problem of changing from uefi to bios while a system in uefi mode was installed.
start clonzille
use the shell
sgdisk -z /dev/sdx
in my case
/dev/nvme0n1
…

Problem 1 “update” solved:
I’ve installed FOG again - now it works

Problem 2 still unsolved.

I was able to capture and deploy Windows 10 1803 with my old FOG Version.
With 1.5.4 capturing runs normal but the image is marked:
“captured: invalid date”
The reported image size seams ok.
But I’m not able to deploy to another computer.

Now I tested the same type of machine with a brand new installation of debian 9.5 and FOG 1.5.4 - still not working different error:
“Could not fix partition logout (runFixparts)
Args Passed: /dev/nvme0n1”

So the upload process does not start:
"Computer will reboot in 1 minute!

The second problem was solved with the help of clonzilla:
Problem of changing from uefi to bios while a system in uefi mode was installed.
start clonzille
use the shell
sgdisk -z /dev/sdx
in my case
/dev/nvme0n1

I’ve successfully deployed 12 Clients with multisync. But there is a problem:

" * updating Database …"

A HTML file is shown with:
…
<h1>503 Service unavailable</h1>
…
<address>Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) Server at 192.168.1.100 Port 80 </address>
…
" * Reattempting to update database …"
finally
…
“An error has been detected!”
…
“Computer will reboot in 1 minute”

BUT: all 12 Computers are working?! The FOG web page shows that the hosts are imaged: “2018-08-27 20:04:38”

So there are two problems …
-) update on the old system is not working (Maybe it is important that after I updated the system I mounted a new hard disk as /images; then copied the old stuff to the new harddisk)
-) the mysql update after the deploy process is not working on my second brand new FOG server …
