      Please help me understand how FOG chooses what storage node to pull the image from. I thought that if you assigned a storage node to a specific location and then assign a host to that location that it would only pick from that storage node. Here’s my situation.

      I have one master node and I am building up over 30 remote storage nodes. I have 3 “child” nodes in the same storage group as the master and the master is correctly replicating images to the three child nodes. I have assigned each child node to a specific location.

      Whenever I image a new system now it seems to randomly pull the image from any one of the 3 child nodes. It doesn’t matter if I tell the host to only use a specific location, it still pulls the image from one of the other nodes. What am I doing wrong?

        The problem seams to have self resolved. This can be closed. FYI, nobody changed any settings. It just started pulling from the correct node on its own.

            @kafluke So can you show me the node configuration of a remote storage node and the host configuration of a host that should image from that remote storage node?

              I’ve gone ahead and disabled all other storage nodes except the master until I can get this figured out. It’s trying to pull images from nodes where those images don’t even exist???

                  Tell me this, do you have the location plugin installed on the master node? I kind of get the idea as yes, but I want to confirm.
