I finally solved this using the WOL broadcast plugin. Steps:

• Created WOL broadcast with the public ip of the site where those computers are
• On the router from the second site added static arp for private ip 10.148.17.254 to mac ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (broadcast)
• On the same router forwarded port 9 udp to 10.148.17.254

You can mark this as solved. Thank you!

For others: The remote site has computers with activated and working wake on lan and the router configured for DHCP with next server the IP of the FOG server and filename undionly.kpxe (for legacy BIOS boot).

@sebastian-roth @george1421 Solved! Thank you for your time!
There is no firewall between the host and storage node. There is a firewall between the storage node and the master but is correctly configured.

The problem was that the storage node is registered at the master with his dns name and this was somehow deleted from the domain.

I have restored the dns record for the storage node and now all is functions correctly except “Storage Node Disk Usage” from the dashboard (it shows nothing), but this is not a big problem.

@LittleTux I have the exact same error when using thin provisioned drives on some heavy used storages.
The solutions are:

• use a thick provisioned drive (almost always works for me)
• retry the capture on a less busy storage or a time when the storage is not so used
• check the hypervisor settings as the capture may have been limited to a lower speed
• use a network card for the vm without gigabit speed, the capture will be much slower but will be complete

Hope this will help you.
