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?

RE: Fog PXE boot multiple sites issue
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.

RE: Fog PXE boot multiple sites issue
@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?

RE: Fog PXE boot multiple sites issue
Okay so I found out that my PXE boot was an issue with the pc I was using for test I was able to get anouther pc to get the pxe boot menu fine.
Here is a screen shot of the config file of my main server that has my images on it. As far as the FTP user and pw they are blank on it as well. I think the system uses the fog username and password or the admin/root username and password for that pc for credentials.
I looked at the logs again to see what they looked like this morning and here is what I found. I found that there was an error logging in via ftp on the site 2 location. So I updated that the the root username and password and it is now transferring images.
Main Server:
Main Site Log files:
I am hoping that this means everything is resolved. Though I am not sure why site 2 does not have any thing in the log files. Also does this mean that I can upload an image to site 2 and it will be replicated to sites 1,3,4 & so on? Or should I only upload an image to Site 1?

RE: Fog PXE boot multiple sites issue
Guys,
Thanks for all of your help! I have tried what you suggested (reinstalled from scratch as a stand alone server instead of as a storage node), installed the location plugin on each one and set each one up as a storage node on the other, and the images are not replicating and I still cant seem to boot from PXE. Here is a copy of the .fogsettings file. Also I have verified my pxe boot menu options are setup as follows.
FYI as a storage node they do show they can see each other and so far there are no error messages in the image replicator logs.

Fog PXE boot multiple sites issue
Please know that first of all I am not very well versed in Linux. I have gotten my fog server ( Trunk version 4557 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ) up and working on the main site and I am able to upload and image systems fine. I then setup my Storage Nodes on a remote site and they are able to retrieive the images fine from the main fog server. However I am unable to boot a PC into PXE and get a menu. I am not sure what I am to do from here. Also if I was to decide to put FOG on its own VLAN would that be very complicated? right now we do not do a lot of imaging so dont know that it would be a big deal if we keep it on the default. Thanks in advance for your help.
