@processor You set the replicator sleep time (and sleep time for all services.)

FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FOG_IMAGEREPSLEEPTIME

It’s defaulted to 600 (10 minute cycles.)
If you set it to 86400, that should do the checks once per day.

@processor Don’t feel ashamed. Mistakes happen and that’s what we are all here for.

The example I was asking for was the output, but then it all clicked. You were doing a Get request 🙂

@Tom-Elliott said in Multicast timeout:

You created a table in FOG called hostsIP?

Yes, in our environment hosts, have ip reservations and I did not found in FOG tables last used ip by hosts (may be I missed something) so I created a table associating ip to hosts names.

Note: This isn’t a bad thing, I’m just trying to reference the information.

No worries.

@Tom-Elliott said in Multicast timeout:

The way I understand this, you’re looking at the mutlicastSessions table, getting a group, and getting the name of the hosts.

First I get all running mutlicast sessions. foreach sessoin I guess the group associated. I get max number of machine in the group I get the current current associated machines to the session As if a machine is finished, it is removed from the sesssion machine list, I compare the group machine number and the current machine running for this session. If the two differ it means that at least one went to the end but not the others. Now you make me talk on it I understand the specificity of our setup, all of our machines names start with group name (ex : all machines in rooms 1 will have such a name pattern : R1-P1, R1-P2…R1-P10), So as I have group name and I know that hosts which belong to it have it in their name, I get all machines with name starting with the group name we are working on. The same way I get machines IDs If not already done I get image ID Same for task ID (one client is enough as in mulitcast if I kill on client it kills all multicast) For each remaining hosts, I store ID, and Name in an array. I kill the task and do a 1 sec sleep loop till the mutlicast session disappear. (It can take few seconds for the multicast to be removed and without this loop some clients can’t be reinstalled because they are still part of another process. and finally for each hosts in created array, I create a unicast session (using host id) and reboot the pc using host ip.

@Tom-Elliott said in Multicast timeout:

You’re at least aware of the IPs which most others will not be, but just trying to think this through.

I searched for a more elegant way to get hosts ip and which could be universal, but the lack of time lead me to this rude behaviour 😉

But if someone has an idea on how to do it I would be very please to update this.
To be honest I thought to modify more the init.xz to populate automatically the hostsIP table when it loads but I have a working solution and it’s not even a priority for us but something more comfortable, if I had spent more time on this, someone would have come to break my fingers 😉

Sorry for the long post.

@processor Yes you can !

@processor you can do bat with -> /ru “System”
schtasks /create /sc daily /tn “MYTASK-DAILY-20PM” /TR “shutdown /p /s” /ST 20:00 /ru “System” > C:\Users\AB\Desktop\done.txt

Thanks, that’s what I was searching for !

I did not found in the forum how to make it as valid answer, any idea?

Hi,

DB cleanup did the the trick.

Thanks

@Foglalt Yes new thread please. We like to keep one issue per thread so not to confuse future readers.

@processor I still have not found the time to look into this. Can you check if this is still the case or if replication picked it up?

Hi,

My skills in english are fair but that’s all, that’s may be why my message was not clear enough.

To resume :

-We had a NAS LUN linked to the legacy FOG Server
-We rarely do unicast deploy, 95% are multicast.
-Running 3 or more multicasts start causing slowdowns on the WebUI.
-Sometimes we have up to 10 simultaneous multicasts. Very have rarely more, even
with 23 classrooms on the main site.

As the nic used to access the WebUI is the same as the one that flood the images through the network we thought that we could mitigate this phenomenon using storage node.

We are note stuck to a model or another, we are still searching for the best compromise.

Now we have/had a second issue it’s image export/Import. We plan to use replication at the end but for the first load which represent several TB sync through a wan link is not possible.

It seems this issue is now solved, the remaining “problem” is only cosmetic, but may be I did something wrong, it was the first time I moved images from storage to another and tried the export/import.

@george1421

Thanks, I’ll give a look at it this weekend.

Hi,

Thanks works better with TCP port 445. I was referring this wiki :

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting_Host_Management_Showing_Hosts_as_Down

It’s solved.

@Sebastian-Roth

it worked ! Many thanks I did not even noticed this tab!

@Sebastian-Roth

I did not found the option in FOG configuration -> fog settings , but I just found the faulty host had as primary MAC the Windows vNIC mac. I put the MAC of the physical NIC as primary and then everything back to normal.

I don’t have a idea to make the research better as I just had to search in the host section of FOG the MAC addresses found in the client log to see what was going on.

@processor said:

Hi Sebastien, I just did the test again and put the new ini files create the FTP error and put back the original 1.5.5 ini file correct it.

So are you saying that using the 1.5.6 inits is causing the FTP issue but using the 1.5.5 inits you don’t get the FTP error but the UUID issue?!??!

Well we changed the FTP username from fog to fogproject from 1.5.5 to 1.5.6 but that is not hardcoded in the inits and shouldn’t cause this issue I think. You might still try updating to 1.5.6 to see if that fixes the problem.

@Sebastian-Roth, @Tom-Elliott
Many thanks!

Works exactly like I needed !

@Tom-Elliott
I’ll take a look at the 1.6 asap
