@theWizard are you using a randomly generated password with special characters in it? Double checked password in GUI and passwd?

@Tom-Elliott maybe a delay between the WOL should be enough? I think 10 sec. should be enough and it also protects the electrical fuse against defective.

@Tom-Elliott thanks for the tip.

Same setup as before.

node1 max client 2
node2 max client 2
number of deployed clients 4

Started the deploys with a delay of 10 sec. between each client.
I tested it via basic tasks/deploy and with the clients boot menu/quick image.

The clients got split correctly. This seems to fix the problem?!

Tested a delay of 7 sec. and the split got messed up.

@Tom-Elliott upgraded to r6285.

No effect here. Started task with four clients.
Max client on both nodes is set to two.

Only node1 processes the four image tasks.

@Wayne-Workman just replicated the error.

Reconfigured the password in GUI and passwd with a “/”.

–> “Failed to find snapin file”

Reconfigured the password in GUI and passwd without a “/”.

–> Works like a charm!

I tried with installed FogClient and with the FogClient Debugger.

@Wayne-Workman I tried some scenarios (lots). With different number of max clients and different number of clients which get a deploy. See spreadsheet for details.

@Tom-Elliott it actually image 4 clients.

@Wayne-Workman maybe. I’ll check this on monday.

@Wayne-Workman maybe someone can reproduce the error, by creating a password with a “/” to eliminate individual mistakes from my site?

@Wayne-Workman plugins are disabled.

Am I missunderstanding the storage managment?

From FOG Wiki:
Each storage node has a setting Max Clients making this the maximum number of hosts that this node can image to

In my config each node should image to thrree clients.

Yes both nodes have a max of three clients!

Deploy of six clients is split into four and two on the nodes.

Doesn’t FOG split the clients correctly to fulfill the max client option?

A deploy with 6 clients is split into:

• First node serves 4 clients.
• Secound node serves 2 clients.

Shouldn’t each node serve 3 clients when the option max clients is set to 3?

Problem manually solved.
I also had a generated password with a “/”. When I tried to deploy a snapin, it failed with the same error @Hanz described.
A login with an an ftp-client redirected me into the users home directory. I changed “/” into a different character (passwd and GUI) and the ftp-client redirected me into /opt/fog/snapins.
Snapins now work without an error!

Ubuntu 14.04, FOG r6263 upgraded from 0.32.

Starting a deploy (unicast) with 6 clients.

I am having one storage group with two nodes where each of them has the limit of 3 clients.
So each node should take care of 3 clients. When all clients show the partclone screen the speed differed and i checked connections on the nodes.
Node 1 had 4 open nfs connections and the node 2 had 2 open nfs connections. Seems there is somthing wrong in the allocation of the clients?

Thanks! Problem fixed.

my config:

node 1 is in group 1
node 2 is in group 1

both nodes, 1 and 2 have a max client of 2.
As result the dashboard should show 4 free slots, right?

My dashboard only shows 2 free slots.

Ubuntu 14.04, FOG r6255

I am running one main server and one storage node which I both upgraded from 0.32.

On the main server I set the max clients to 2.
Same I did on the storage node.

So 2 + 2 = 4 right?

My dashboard only shows 2 free slots?

Different scenario max clients:
server = 2
node = 3

My dashboard shows 5 free slots.
