I am trying to set up a FOG system with 3 storage nodes to help image multiple computers at a time, and I am having problems getting them to sync the images over from the main server. All of the servers are using a minimal install of Ubuntu 14.04.4. The server is running FOG 7202 and the nodes are running 7218, just because they were downloaded at different times. Here is the story of all my troubles…
I set up the main server and got 4 images uploaded to it without much trouble after I got all the DHCP issues sorted out. I built the first storage node and got it set up without any problems at all, and the images started to sync over. The other two nodes took a little more to get them going because of problems with the static ip configuration, but I got them up and running after multiple attempts. In the web interface I have all of the nodes added and I can see the hardware specs, so I know they are communicating with each other, and the passwords are correct because I copied them from the ssh session directly into the web interface. But I can not get nodes 2 and 3 to sync with the server.
I read that it may not start to sync until I added another image, so I did, but that image did not sync with anything and is just on the fog server. I am out of ideas, and wanted to know if anyone else has done something like this. I have a project coming up soon where I will need to image 600 computers, so that is why I built so many nodes to help cut down on the time needed.
