master node sending data to storage node.

@mwolfe60 Are you sure ALL nodes are updated to 1.5.5??
Do you use snapins? We have a bug in 1.5.5 where snapin replication is not working properly and will re-transfer over and over. This is fixed and will be in the next release coming very soon!
-
@Sebastian-Roth The only snapin ( I’m assuming plugins are what they are called in the web console) is location which I removed. It still looks like its replicating images to the storage node.
-
@mwolfe60 Snapins is not Plugins!
-
Then we do not use snapins. I let the replication run all day Saturday and it never stopped. I stopped before it fill the storage node completely.
-
@mwolfe60 Did you update all the storage nodes in your environment to be at 1.5.5? If not, It’d be highly recommended that you do. We’re aware of a bug in replication for Snapins, but this does not sound like to be your case. There is a release note explaining the reasoning for needing all nodes to be at the same version.
-
Yes all nodes are running 1.5.5
-
are there any logs that I could provide that would help figure out what is going on here. I’m going to need the server as I have about 70 computers to image in the coming months. I would like to get this one fixed or stand up a new server whichever is going to be the easiest solution.

Yes, simply post the full fogreplication.log! If you fear to share this with the whole world you can upload to a private share and send me a link or password protect it and send me the PW. Whatever you like.

@Sebastian-Roth I sent the link in a chat.
-
@mwolfe60 Thanks for the log. Unfortunately there is only one loop of the replicator in the log and therefore we don’t really see what it’s doing further on. Need more of the log!
What I see in the log so far is that only one single file is not matching (file size different) and it tries to re-transfer that. My guess is that this will take a fair amount of time to transfer as it is roughly 45 GB in size. What speed is the link between your two nodes??
As well, can you post the contents of
/opt/fog/log/fogreplicator.Automation_TB_CF54.transfer.Greenville.logor send me a link again? -
we have 100Mb/s dedicated link between the 2 sites. I’ll send you the links tomorrow when I get back in the office.
-
@Sebastian-Roth I was looking at that log and there are some images that do not need to be replicated to the other node. They are not needed at that site as the systems are not located there. can we not replicate those images and delete them from the storage node or is all or nothing ?

Open the image settings in the web UI and un-check the option Replicate…
I had a look a the new logs you send me and I still can’t see there being an issue. Possibly you just restart the fogreplicaiton service too early before it finishes transferring the huge file? From my point of view the replication algorithm seems to work. Here is an example:
... [04-30-19 11:48:01 am] * Found Image to transfer to 1 node [04-30-19 11:48:01 am] | Image Name: Automation_TB_CF54 ... [04-30-19 11:48:10 am] # Automation_TB_CF54: File size mismatch - d1p2.img: 48334490621 != 1202149362 [04-30-19 11:48:10 am] # Automation_TB_CF54: Deleting remote file d1p2.img [04-30-19 11:48:10 am] * Starting Sync Actions ... [04-30-19 11:48:10 am] | Started sync for Image Automation_TB_CF54 - Resource id #1105 ... [04-30-19 12:06:13 pm] | Image Name: Automation_TB_CF54 [04-30-19 12:06:13 pm] | Replication already running with PID: 2651 ...So it finds that
d1p2.imgis not the same size on the storage node, deletes it and starts replicating it again. This is at 11:48. Then it checks all the other images and on the next loop (at 12:06) when it comes back to that image it tells us there the sync of that file is still going on and goes ahead.Doing some quick maths here. Transferring a 45 GB file over a 100 Mbit/s link will take at least 1 hour 07 minutes and 35 seconds. And that calculation is most certainly still a fair way off. I’d expect it to take one and a half to three hours depending on the other traffic on that link. So you just need to be patient!
If the link collapses somewhere on between it needs to start over again. I know this sounds stupid but implementing a continuing sync that can pick up on a broken file is way more advanced. Not something we can implement on short notice.

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks for taking a look. I lowered the max bandwidth that the replication can use so it would not crush our link and allowed it to run all night. The images have replicated and traffic has dropped off. again thanks for the help. I think everything is working now.
