Thank you everyone, this has been resolved. I will say the replication/node setup was the most confusing thing about fog. Everything else is straight forward. Maybe it was just me but a “Storage Nodes for Noobs” might be a good sticky post that explains how to setup a simple 2 server storage node. Other than that everything has been awesome. Thanks for all your hard work.

@Tom-Elliott the backup was my fault. To gain access to the internet I have to swap cables. When I did the “real” dhcp server gave that server a different ip. The database had the old info.

I wonder if the spike in network traffic your network admin saw was actually image replication between the two fog servers??

This is not the case, I actually have the replication service set on a 24 hour cycle, and restart the service at 2am(iirc). This was the only way to make the replication happen at a given scheduled time.

Unless you need it, the MHB Server does not need a second node. There is literally no point for it.

It’s only there because George said so

OK we need to get something cleared up. Tom and I have been chatting and we need to understand. At site MHB how many fog servers are installed master or slave nodes. I think we’ve been adding complexity because I misunderstood something

There are a TOTAL of 2 servers in the whole company, SRO-FOG-01 and MHB-FOG-01. Both of these machines are installed on our vmware infrastructures(no not the same ESXI hosts).

So:
SRO side Needs:
Master (SRO-FOG-01)
Slave (MHB-FOG-01)
MHB Side Needs:
Master (MHB-FOG-01)

Done, SRO has

| MHB-Slave  |        | 10.63.57.42 | fog  | BaLVo | ens160    |
| SRO-Master | 1      | 10.63.76.44 | fog  | RoiYx | ens160    |

MHB has

| MHB-Master | 1      | 10.63.57.42 | fog  | BaLVo | ens160    |

ok…good news…it’s replicating an image…that I dont want it to(it was set to replicate). So i know replication is working now. Now to test if I deploy a machine from MHB to see if it hits SRO at all… I will keep you updated. Need to reach out to someone in MHB
