lt.son Posted May 13, 2015 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 Yesterday we found that one of our DPs was not receiving packages, so we started digging around to find out why. In the process I discovered that the DP did not have the Software Update Point role installed. "Great!" Nobody who has access has admitted making any changes to the system, of course. Are there any known issues that might cause DPs to "loose" installed roles? I also discovered 2 DPs that no longer had the State Migration Point and Component Server roles installed. I didn't think a DP could exist without the Component Server role... Is there a bigger problem I need to be looking for in our system? Configuration Info: Single Site Server 27 Distribution Points deployed to remote locations DPs all configured with Site System, Component Server, Distribution Point, State Migration Point, and until recently Software Update Point. Please let me know if you need more details. Thanks, LT.Son Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarthMJ Posted May 13, 2015 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 Why do you have a SUP on all of you DPs? It is generally not recommend to have too many SUP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.son Posted May 13, 2015 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 It was my understanding that all remote sites needed a SUP to cache and install updates locally. I'm guessing this is not the case? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter van der Woude Posted May 13, 2015 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 A software update point is only used by clients to scan for compliance. The content will come from the distribution point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarthMJ Posted May 13, 2015 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 To add to what Peter said, CM12 clients will randomly select a SUP to scan against, they ignore boundaries. Therefore a CM12 client might pick a SUP remote to them. Honestly once the initial SU catalog is download there is only minor traffic between the CM12 client and the SUP,.
