<p>Encounter problems deploying via multicast.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Dear community,<br /> <br /> We want to deploy Windows 7 images via multicast on 600 workstations. Unfortunately we encounter some problems with deploying via multicast.<br /> Unicast works fine.<br /> <br /> We've created a test environment in which multicast is posible (network switches).<br /> <br /> Our current FOG version: 0.32<br /> <br /> **************************************************************************<br /> '''Our current Multicast configuration:'''<br /> <br /> Other Information &gt; FOG Settings &gt; Multicast Settings:<br /> Fog_udpcast_interface: eth0<br /> Fog_udpcast_startingport: 63100<br /> Fog_multicast_max_sessions: 50 (in the real production migration we'll want change this to 100 if possible)<br /> <br /> I've created a group &quot;Test Multicast&quot;<br /> Added 5 workstations in it.<br /> Associated the same OS<br /> Associated the same Image<br /> <br /> **************************************************************************<br /> <br /> How can I use multicast? When I try to deploy from the Group Management, in &quot;Deploy&quot;, multicast is provided to me. And when I take a look in Task Management &gt; Active Multicast Tasks, I don't see the 5 workstations.<br /> I do see them under Active Tasks, which means that they will deployed via unicast.<br /> <br /> <br /> PLEASE HELP ME TO CONFIGURE MULTICAST!!!!<br /> <br /> We do need to limit the network data traffic due to an staged migration window within office hours.<br /> <br /> With kind regards,</div>
