Storage Node Question
-
Alright, now that you guys helped with my wireless MAC option (thanks!) I’ve got another question.
I have 2 sites, both connected via a VPN. Currently, I have 2 different FOG servers, one at each site. They both host the same images, snapins, etc.
If I was to remove one machine, and replace it with just a storage node, would my clients in the site with the storage node pull from it automatically? I don’t want the clients to pull the image across the vpn for bandwidth reasons. But I would love to be able to manage one box and not duplicate effort all the time.
I think i’ve explained myself, but if not, ASCII graphic of network incoming:
Current network
{site a} ---------------VPN-----------------{site b}
[Fog1] [Fog2]Client boots in site a, dhcp gives them fog 1, they pull from fog 1. Same in Site b
Proposed Network:
{site a} ---------------VPN-----------------{site b}
[Fog1} [StorageNode]Client boots in either site, DHCP gives them fog 1, and if in Site b, pulls from that storage node over the lan instead of the vpn.

Bah, the formatting took out my spacing. Fog2 and Storage Node should be under {site b}

I believe its touched on here and involves the location plugin.

Perfect. I wasn’t aware that even existed. Leave a project alone for a while, come back to a snazzy new website and all my questions answered!

Glad someone noticed the new site ^^. We wanted to make a new one for awhile now, but the opportunity never really presented itself. What you see is the result of one hectic weekend with Tom and I playing a balancing act between our normal work routines, constant work on finding a color scheme the whole development team liked, and trying to throw together something presentable. It was a busy weekend.

I also noticed the new site. It’s very nice and I’m glad the development continues. Keep up the good work
