      @tom-elliott I have the remote fog storage node set as the selected node for my remote location and for testing purposes have just set that storage node as a master node as well as my default master node. So for my defaultStorage group I have 2 master nodes, I am trying to now do the multicast on my remote host tied to my remote node. The session appears to start with the remote node now but is not starting the imaging process.

        @tom-elliott said in Multi-cast with Location plugin enabled:

        Location plugin will attempt to make the location nodes masters where possible.

        In that you are able to multicast from a storage node as long as all clients are in the same location?

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          Location plugin will attempt to make the location nodes masters where possible. Of course, you should have a storage node implicitly defined for the the location in question, otherwise it will try to set the master node of the storage group.

            @zacadams I’m pretty sure you need a full fog server to have the multicast component.

            FWIW, a full fog server can be a “storage node” in a storage group. Meaning you can have 2 full fog servers in the same storage group where once is configured as a master and one as a storage node (in the storage group). Your images will replicate from the master server to the remote fog server. The only issues and manual intervention would be to export the image definitions from the real master server and import them into the remote fog server. Understand this is an unsupported configuration but will work well as long as you don’t have a lot of new images on the master server because you will need to export and import for every new image.

              @george1421 would I be able to set my remote storage node as a master node and then have multicast session run from it?

                No, the master and storage node are in different locations.

                  FWIW, only master nodes can use multicast imaging. Unicast imaging can be from a master node -OR- storage node based on the guidance given by the location plugin. It is working by design.

                  Are the master nodes and storage nodes located at the same site?
