To a certain point, yes multicast is faster in performance, but it uses UDP with broadcasting all the “image’s” packets across your network. Unicast uses TCP directing the traffic to that particular machine. If on a separate network you will not see any issues either way. If on the same network (using multicast) you will find that your “bandwidth” will be effected throughout the entire network.

You could also run unicast in groups. Connect them all to the switch, register, add them all to “group1”, and tell the group to download.

Multicast is [B][U]not[/U][/B] the only method to do mass amounts of machines at once. I do a lab of 30 in a clip using unicast groups. Set em up and walk away for an hour. Then come back to setup the next set.

BUT Uncle Frank is right please try the wiki and post the results.

Correct wiki page is [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Multicasting[/url]
The information is the same due to a merge of the pages.

so you are getting Failed and not “Received XXXX bytes in X.X seconds…” on the client.

I know this is for debian but you showed that iptables were installed so please run the following on the server and rerun the tftp tests on the client.
[CODE]iptables -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat -X
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -t mangle -X
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT[/CODE]

Please try the information in this wiki.

[CODE]2/9/2015 10:11 AM FOG::HostnameChanger Index was outside the bounds of the array.
2/9/2015 10:11 AM FOG::HostnameChanger at FOG.HostNameChanger.changeHostName()[/CODE]

A quick search reviles…

[quote=“Jbob, post: 37573, member: 21733”]This is often caused when
A.) You entered a product key for the host without compiling the new patched HostnameChanger.dll
B.) You compiled the un-patched new HostnameChanger.dll without giving the computer a product key.
[FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#141414]The HostnameChanger source files in the svn repository will compile a version that fixes this issue as well.[/COLOR][/FONT][/quote]

hehehehehe :rolleyes:

For future reference:
If your time is off please check your timezone located in these two files(ubuntu):
[CODE]/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini[/CODE]

Then restart apache2 and Fog Services (or reboot entire server):
[CODE]sudo service apache2 restart
sudo service FOGMulticastManager restart
sudo service FOGTaskScheduler restart
sudo service FOGImageReplicator restart
sudo service FOGSnapinReplicator restart
[/CODE]

As a result of this “issue” coming up so often please see [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Time_off[/url] for other details.

Upgrade to trunk (SVN)
Fog Configuration -->
[LIST]
[]iPXE Boot Menu
[]iPXE Menu Configuration
[*]iPXE New Menu Entry
[/LIST]

After the update did you restart the apache2 service?

/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bg.png ==> Default splash screen. You can replace this file with the same name and size. However, the next update/upgrade you do will reset this file back to default.

If you upgrade to ‘trunk’ or svn Menu modification has become [U]much[/U] easier. The wiki is currently under construction for 1.3 for menu editing but it is rather easy to edit without using the Advanced method.

LOL Tom is having a rough time. Someone please buy him a beer!

This is to pick on Tom

Services page will be fixed in the coming revisions.

[B]Edit:[/B]
Issue was introduced in r2974. If you have r2974-r2979 you will have this issue.
Modular update needed to correct some templates which in turn messed up some aspects of the Web Gui (i.e. Printers, services, hosts, groups)

From the node… can you login to the fog servers mysql database?

[quote=“Joseph Hales, post: 41667, member: 18131”]On which SVN did this start I updated to 2952 last week and and didn’t see this behavior if its more recent maybe someone else can confirm the behavior or maybe something is bugged on your side if its not showing on anyone else’s installs. Also there is a better script for updating SVN’s that doesn’t run the installer if you are updating frequently in the FOG tweaks.

BE WARNED: That script will not update kernels and init files. Using the install script may take a few seconds longer but it will always get the most up-to-date files. See details of [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Fog_Tweaks#Updating_Script[/url]

[quote=“Ben Warfield, post: 41643, member: 17746”]I have 2 servers I’ve been testing the fog SVNs on, and with the more recent updates the install always gets to installing php5-mysqlnd and just stops. I’ve let it sit for about 15 minutes, but every time I have to ctrl-c to end the script and then run it again and it completes okay. Anyone else noticing this?[/quote]

I have not noticed this issue with mysqldn. Try stopping mysql then run the update. Then after update confirm mysql is still running.

[url]http://<ip[/url] of server>/fog/management/index.php?node=about&sub=mac-list

is there a approve all macs?

FYI: Wireless macs show up for hosts if the client is installed. Also to install snapins client must be installed.
FYI2: New Client will be more useful for snapins and other exciting options.

[SIZE=3][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#333333]seems like a ‘dumb’ switch (“No configuring is required.”) so you are using fog as your dhcp also? you may want to try another switch, crossover cable test, or try using dnsmasq.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

The change was quite resent so if you did put in the key using 2922 then yes there maybe an issue when updating to 2966.

Do your [U]ALL[/U] network switches currently have portfast enabled? or is STP disabled?

Have you tried the refereed to wiki documentation yet?
[url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Multicasting[/url]

Try the 1 client and then the 2 clients and please let us know of your results. [U]Usually[/U] we find that it is an environment setup issue and no an issue with Fog.

belac,

Please give use the issue you are experiencing. Please also provide Fog version. Can you also give use a screen shot of your issue?

don’t forget that those students can always right click and “open file location” for shortcuts
