Figure 82: Scheme opsi multi depot environment
152 / 193
As the figure points out there is only one server which have data storage for the configuration data - the data backend.
This is the opsi config server. The opsi depot server has no own data storage but a redirected backend. This means
that if you ask a depot server for any configuration data, this question will be redirected to the config server. And
this leads to the consequence that every check which runs against the opsi data backend will at least run on the config
server. So you should address checks that run against the backend always to the config server. Even in the situation
if you are collecting information about clients which are assigned to a depot which is different from the config server
and the check is logically part of the check of this depot server.
If you running direct checks you normally also address the config server. You may address the depot server if the
clients can’t be reached by the opsi config server via port 4441. In this case it is a good idea to address the depot
server.
