@Tom-Elliott Lol they are indeed all under the default group storage group. I was hoping to have the primary FOG server replicate to the remote storage nodes. If I separate them into their groups, will I no longer have automatic replication from my primary fog server to the remote storage nodes? How would I get around that?

Hi,

I’m trying to deploy an image to a computer on my LAN (the main fog server is also on my LAN), but it’s choosing to pull the image data from a storage node in a remote office through a slow connection instead of the main fog server on my LAN. Why?

The latency to the remote storage nodes varies from 30-60 ms, but the latency on the LAN is <1 ms. It makes no sense as to why it’s pulling the image from a remote storage node.

@george1421 Resolved: A 3rd party package in my router was intercepting my outbound FTP connections.

@george1421 When I try to manually FTP from the Primary Server to the Remote Storage Node, it connects, then it says the remote server has closed the connection, as shown below. It looks like it’s able to connect, but then the Remote Storage Node closes the connection instantly.

root@fog:~# ftp 192.168.6.223
Connected to 192.168.6.223.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.

I have a primary FOG server and Storage node server on my LAN (in the same subnet), and replication works fine. However, I have another Storage node in a remote location, which the Primary server’s replication logs indicate as “Error: Cannot connect to <remote-storage-node>”.

The primary server and remote storage node can ping each other, and both firewalls on the IPSec tunnel are set to allow all traffic between the two subnets, and the firewalls are disabled on both servers.

Not sure if there’s a setting in FOG or a config I need to change to allow replication to work on servers outside of my primary server’s LAN?

Edit:
I also get this message when I check the status of the FOGImageReplicator.service
“FTP connection failed in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php on line 219”
