Farming on multiple machines

[pitango]

I followed the following guide on how to farm on many machines:
https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/Farming-on-many-machines

And indeed on my main machine I see the other PC’s IP in the Farm tab under “Your harvester network”, but the number of plots in my main PC remains the same, although I have plots on the secondary PC.

So I’m not sure if it’s doing anything.
If my main PC has 100 plots and the second PC has 50 plots and they’re connected - does it farm like I have 150? Because it doesn’t look like it’s doing it now… It shows only 100 on the main PC

It’s a known issue that the full node doesn’t “see” the plots that are farmed using remote harvesters.

If you want to be sure you are properly farming the plots by your remote harvesters, you need to look at the logs for the following messages

Has anyone had success running a remote harvester?

Finished the second remote harvester, and shut down the harvester on my full node. Looks like it’s working very well. Log sample: Full node: 2021-05-03T06:33:45.968 farmer farmer_server : INFO -> new_signage_point_harvester to peer 192.168.141.104 adcxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2021-05-03T06:33:45.969 farmer farmer_server : INFO -> new_signage_point_harvester to peer 192.168.141.123 dccxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2021-05-0…

In your harvesters config.yaml file are you pointing to the local drives and folder on the harvesters?

Example

farmer main node

C:\ where Chia is installed

D:\plots-farm1
E:\plots-farm1
f:\plots-farm1

Harvester

C:\ where Chia is installed

D:\plots-harvest1
E:\plots-harvest1
F:\plots-harvest1

and so on with the next harvester

And you did copy the CA folder from the farmer to a temp directory like c:\files\CA
and run
C:\Users\your-username\Appdata\Local\chia-blockchain\app-1.3.4\resources\app.asar.unpacked\daemon> .\chia.exe init -c c:\files\ca\

Where might you be coming up with information like this, the main node sees all the plots from the other harvesters when setup correctly, If under the farming tab and your harvester Network, if the other machines are there and you have them setup you will see the total Plot count.
