New storage node - sync not working

Server
- FOG Version: 1.3.4

Description
I have installed a storage node following the instructions on the wiki. All looks fine as far as I can see, but no sync is happening. I am receiving the following error in both the Image Replicator and Snapin Replicator logs:
[02-07-17 10:49:37 am] * Type: 8, File: /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogbase.class.php, Line: 841, Message: Undefined index: storagegroupID, Host: 10.5.147.249, Username: fog
I have double checked the storage node settings on the master server, including ensuring the password is correct. What am I missing?

Ah, figured it out. It was a routing issue between the 2 servers.
It may be worth providing a user friendly error in the log if the master can’t connect with the storage node.

@Tony-Ayre Would you mind elaborating on the issue, so if others have this issue, they will have a resolution?

Absolutely. Our 2 servers are in different schools, with an IPSec VPN in between. I am currently building a new network consisting of a single domain across all schools, but have to maintain the existing multi-domain setup.
On my firewall, I hadn’t allowed each side to use the other side from my new IP address range. Allowing this on the firewall resolved the issue.
Simply put - the 2 servers were unable to route to each other - there was no route between them.
I would say a good solution might be for the replication services to give an error stating that the server can’t be contacted though.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain your issue and your resolution!
