Storage Management (Usage / Slow)
-
@ITCC The image I see says Junior is the node transmitting data.
I don’t know what the exact layout is. If Senior and Junior nodes are part of the same group AND the location is only defined to use the Group, AND the hosts are associated to that location, OR The hosts are not associated to the location, the imaging will happen in a load balanced mode.
I guess I’d need to see an example of the tasking, and the host with its location setting and the location definition.

Senior is master
Junior is Node
imageA set not to replicate (holds Senior Image)
imageB set for replication
Replication completeImageA&B members of DefaultStorageGroup
Storage Management - SS - Group = Default
Storage Management - JS - Group = Default -
when i image a PC in SS the image goes VIA the JS NODE and then to the host.

@ITCC to setup how you want so no image goes across the wan but replication, setup like below (Be mindful you will have no resillience and if JS is busy for example and you want to image a machine at JS it will wait rather than use SS - which by the sounds of things is how you want it to work anyway)
Storage Group Definitions:
Storage Group - SS
Storage Group - JSStorage Node Definitions:
Storage Node - SS - In Storage Group SS
Storage Node - JS - In Storage Group JSLocation Definitions:
Location SS - Storage Node - SS - Storage Group - SS
Location JS - Storage Node - JS - Storage Group - JSImage Definitions:
ImageA - Storage Group - SS AND JS
ImageA - Storage Group - SS AND JS
make sure you tick whichever is primary (that you will upload your image to and want replication to come from)so Location JS will only have Node JS available and vice versa.
You will be utilizing the use of Group to Group Replication which @TomElliott awesomely implemented sometime ago.
Whenever you upload an image, whatever location you choose will be the node it uploads to, just make sure you do it to whichever you set as primary otherwise you newly upload image with be overwritten.
Hope this helps

@Lee-Rowlett I’ll be expanding on that article soon to cover image sharing. The video was meant to be an introduction.
