Mercy Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hello everyone, How does the remote server work with the master server? The game files are located on the master server but do the game files need to also be installed on the remote server in order to install games or are they transferred from the master server to the remote server? My logical guess is that the files would also be located on the remote. I am just trying to figure out how the remote server works with the master server.

studeggle Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The files can be located either place. On the remote is faster setup but you have to maintain multiple copies of the game setups (one per machine). On the master is a bit slower but you only need to worry about maintaining one set of setup files. Personally I divide it based on how often the game updates and how large the install is. Larger installs that don't update as often I store on all machines, smaller games that update regularly I simply store on the master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan M Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 We have the files mirrored and crons setup to automatically update the base files (from hldsupdatetool related games anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks for the replies. I will be purchasing the remote license very soon and hopefully I have no trouble with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
