Recommended way to manage Slave files?

[Cliff001002]

So currently I have my slave server set to download game files from the master server. I do this so I can put updates on the master, and then be accessible from all my slaves. Is this the recommended way of doing this? Am I misunderstanding some of the other options?

 

Also, when I go to create a game service on my slave, it only shows games that I've installed on the master once before. Is this a result of the way I am doing downloads, as I described above?

 

Thanks in advance,

Cliff

You can do it anyway you want. Each way has its advantages. If you download from the master compress the game files to get better speed.

So I have to create a game on the master before I can use it on a slave?

LFA will have to the complete answer but I can't remember having to install on the master before the slave. Maybe restart the monitor on the slave or both, see if it shows up in list.

Yes. Creating a game server on the master downloads the files. After they exist the remote will be able to use them.

Ok thanks!

What if I have a Linux master, a Windows slave, and I want to install a Windows-only game?

Will TCAdmin recognize that and download the files?

Yes as long as the windows files are on the linux server the remote will download them
