      Hello,

      We have one Storage Node server at a separate site than our Main server.

      They are both part of the same Storage Group.

      How can I force an image deployment to choose one node over the other?

      We’ve ran a deploy task on two machines at our Main site, simultaneously. The problem is one of the machines is pulling the image from the remote Storage Node site, causing the deploy to take over an hour for that PC.

      I know I could go into the FOG GUI to edit one of the nodes and change the “Max Clients” value to 0, so that it won’t do any unicast, but that seems like a workaround.

      At the time of deployment, how can we decide which storage node to pull the image from so that it will always choose the server physically closest to the host?

      Thank you

        @Jab98 This is one baseline feature of the location plugin.

        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!

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)
