SubProcess -> mirror: Fatal error: max-retries exceeded

[Tom Elliott]

That is absolutely correct.

To ftp, you need an actual user account on the node machine.

You could create a fogstorage user with the fogstorage password if you so choose, but I think it’d just be easier to put the management username and password as what you setup the system with.

We have a user account on the node, and we can perform what we need to perform in ftp via the initial system setup account, no problem, from the server. But where, in Fog, do I tell the main server what that username and password is for the node’s ftp?

Besides which, I’m not getting any Login errors in the log files

[Tom Elliott]

Under storage Management-><Choose Your Node>->Username and Password

[TreyBentley]

But the Wiki said to put there what the script spit out…
Link: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_FOG#Adding_a_Storage_Node[/url]

Or am I misinterpreting?

[Tom Elliott]

I’m thinking it’s being misinterpreted.

You can’t ftp using a mysql username if ftp isn’t setup to authenticate thru that method.

I think the time you’re using the fogstorage and password is when it’s asking you for mysql username and password.

[TreyBentley]

Okay… so I updated the management username and password in the Fog GUI. I then ran:
[code]sudo service FOGImageReplicator restart[/code]
and the error is still the same as when I first started this thread
Any other troubleshooting I can try?

[TreyBentley]

Also, for kicks, I went ahead and tried to change the management username and password to ‘Something’ and ‘Bogus’, and the log is still reporting the ‘max-retries exceeded’ error… still with no login errors in the log.

Is the IP setup to point at your storage node, and is the firewall/selinux disabled on the storage node?

Fortunately, no. We had a typo in that field. 10.10.1.110 can look so much like 10.1.10.110 even after three technicians and a hundred glance-overs!!

Thanks! Files are transferring now and we feel sillyheaded, but that did it!

[Tom Elliott]

Glad I could be of assistance!
