Image replication between nodes keeps restarting

[Tom Elliott]

@jgallo the only reason I can think rc9 is broken is the available checks in place. However this would lead me to think it’s a firewall issue. You c an fix this by commenting the new lines in the file. That is the only thing that would be causing the issue from what I can see.

@tom-elliott

Thank you Tom. I went ahead and made the changes. Worked as soon as a reboot occurred.

Mind installing working branch and see if it is working for you now? I looked over the available code and apparently I made one mistake on a variable for the “domain” element being checked. This variable was not defined anywhere. So i have now setup what should be accurate and just need something to test off of.

git checkout working
git pull
cd bin
./installfog.sh -y

I don’t mind at all. I will install working branch once this image that is currently replicating is complete. Once I install working branch, I will upload an image and check if replication i working.

I uploaded an image and tried to manually start the replication. I did a tail on the fogreplicator.log file and it seemed like it wasn’t working. So I went to lunch and came back. Looks like it eventually worked. I see the image replicated to my only storage node right now. There are some other weird things occurring but I will create separate post as it has to do with my custom fog.man.reg being copied. Thank you for your help.

Added another storage node and replication seems to operate normally. I still have the linux sleeptimer at 10800 seconds so I think we are good for now. My question is do I stay on the working branch or do I go back to RC9? I’m not too familiar when changes are made to RC’s and working branches.

@jgallo Stay on the working branch until the next RC.

So today I got a chance to start adding even more storage nodes. The FOG Server is on the working branch as well as the storage node. Once I’m finished installing the storage node, I go to the console and make changes like enable graph and change the storage node name. I also place a value in the Replication Bandwidth because it won’t let me use 0. So when I tail the fogreplicator.log file, it states a

*Type: 2, File: /var/www/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php, Line: 463, Message: ftp_login(): Login incorrect., Host: 10.225.100.21, Username: fog

Now when I ran the installer, I did type the storage node password from FOG correctly. I know this because the IP shows up under storage. This is awkward because my first two storage nodes worked but were on RC9. Should I keep the storage nodes at RC9 or put the storage nodes on working branch?

[Tom Elliott]

@jgallo I’d put everything on the same particularly as it addresses replication directly. The ftp error however is not because of the password you add when installing a new node. That password is what’s created for the node automatically. Sometimes, however, it’s possible it creates unusable characters.
