    @Wayne-Workman That makes sense, I believe i have that written down since I redid this system and will update it with that. A couple of other questions.

    Do you know with this type of setup can I upload an image at any site and it be replicated at all sites? and why the log viewer on site 2 is not showing anything?

    The master node of a group should replicate to all other nodes in its group.
    For uploading -
    Say you create an image (or have an image already) that is set to Storage Group 1. Say that Storage Group 1 has a master node.

    When that image uploads - no matter where it uploads from - the upload will be captured on the master node - and after that is complete - the image then replicates to other nodes in the group.

    And for site 2’s log problems, it’s probably credentials related. is site 2 using the same version of FOG? what OS is site 2 running?

    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!

      Wayne,

      Site 1 is Ubuntu 14.04 Server & Fog Trunk 4557 & Site 2 is Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop on fog trunk 4580.

      But now i have a new issue. The images have replicated and I can see them in the images folder on Site 2 however when I try to image a computer there are no images listed in fog. I have attatched screenshots of fog to show them not being listed and I was able to do an ftp to the system and list them in the directory.

        Wait, what?

        The second system is built as a server? FOG Doesn’t autopopulate the images stuff. that’s done by you.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved.

            Not sure if I should post this with this topic or create a new one, if I need to create a new one just let me know. Hhowever I have been imaging the system (that I mentioned earlier in this post) and it has been imaging for over 3 hours now. The image is aprox 29GB and it has been transferring at aprox 130MB/Min it is plugged into the same switch as the imaging machine and by all calculations this should have been done in aprox 30 mins. Any thoughts or suggestions on why it is taking so long?

              29 gigs at 130 mb/s should take about 4 hours. I think you may be having a bandwidth issue. Should be running at gig/min not mb/m.

              Just my first observation. My math right? 🙂

              28 gigs is 28,672 MBs

              at 130 MBs per minute that should be 220 minutes.

              220 / 60 is 3.6 hours.

              Not trying to be a jerk, just trying to type it out of my crazy head. lol

                Harvey,

                No worries, thanks for your feedback. I was looking at some calculators since doing math in my head is not my strong point. LOL and a couple of them showed me approx 30 minutes and normally have always had images take about 30 mins in the past. This all looks correct to me but maybe I missed something.

                  Change your rate to MB/Minute in the Drop down list and results to hours. I’m still thinking it’s throttling or either this is a RAW data image?

                    Why not use the Location Plugin to do the transfers for you?
                    Heck, if you update to the Development versions, you don’t even have to setup rsync tunnels.
                    You can install the Nodes how you see fit. I’d recommend, for your case, to install all the servers as “Full Servers”, and then once the installation is complete edit the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file to use: snmysqluser=‘fogstorage’ snmysqlpass=‘fogstoragepasswordfromfogsettings’ snmysqlhost=‘IP.OF.Main.Server’
                    This way, all the fog servers at all of the buildings communicate to a single server.
                    Then you create your storage nodes based on the information of the other fog servers.
                    Create the appropriate groups as necessary.
                    Assign the images to the groups you want the images to “cross” between.
                    That way you have a centrally managed server, with pxe boot setup locally at each building.
                    The location plugin will attach to the hosts that belong at that particular building.

                    Please give us details on your experience or thoughts, and please feel free to ask questions. We are here to help.

                    Just reposting this - because this configuration would prevent the “missing images” problem you had. ONE DATABASE TO RULE THEM ALL!!! 😄

                            Wayne,

                            I will look into this part some more when I get back. I think that I did most of it but after rereading it I still need to create the groups. I will try that let you know how it goes.
