Moving/Migrating Image
-
Is there a way to move an image that has been uploaded to a different server without having to upload again?
Further explanation: I have created an image in my test environment that works perfectly on all the makes/models I need. I have now created a new server in production and created image object with all the same options. Then using FTP I transferred the image from “test server” to “production server” and changed to match ownership and permissions. Then I tried to create a deployment task and get the error “you must first upload an image to create deployment task”.
So again, my question is: is there anyways to use existing images on new server or move/migrate images between servers?
Thanks in Advance,
James
UPDATE: It actually works client-side using “quick image” or image after inventory, but won’t work through web interface. Is it possible to get that part working?

Try this it has worked for me in similar instances.

Thanks, but I don’t think that’s actually related. I’m not actually deploying from FTP. I just used FTP to transfer an image between the 2 servers.

FTP is used to test if an image actually exists. My guess is your production user and pass is different from the test server you have.

Ah, sorry I’m new to fog, so I thought you could add a storage node using FTP or something, i dunno. I get it now thought, thanks I’ll check that out.

Sorry, I’m new to fog, you we’re probably right, I was thinking something different.

SOLVED!! Thanks guys!!

What was the fix?
-
I had to match the storage node username password with the fogsettings file
