How to: Use FOG (1.1.2) with FreeNAS (Storage node - 9.1.1)
- I have often seen people want to use Fog Server with a Storage Node FreeNAS. At my office, it works so i describe you step by step how to do.
There are probably several solutions i think, but i propose you a simple solution that works with me.
I* consider that your FreeNAS is ok for the installation and NIC.
Pre-Configuration
- Fog Server: 192.168.56.102
- FreeNAS: 192.168.56.240
FOG Server
- Storage Management
- Add the Storage node.
- Storage Node Name: FNAS
- IP Address: 192.168.56.240
- Is Master Node: As you want.
- Group: As you want.
- Image Path: /mnt/Volume1/data/images
- User/Pass: Free/Free (Not very secure ;) )
- Image Management
- For your image, choose the storage group witch contains the new storage node.
FreeNAS
- Add Volume1
- Storage -> ZFS Volume Manager:
- Volume Name: Volume1
- Volume layout: All the disk (in my case)
- Create the path
- Clic on Volume1 -> Create ZFS Dataset:
- Dataset Name: data
- Compression level: inherit
- Enable atime: inherit
- ZFS Deduplication: inherit
- Clic on data -> Create ZFS Dataset:
- Dataset Name: images
- Compression level: inherit
- Enable atime: inherit
- ZFS Deduplication: inherit
- Clic on images -> Create ZFS Dataset:
- Dataset Name: dev
- Compression level: inherit
- Enable atime: inherit
- ZFS Deduplication: inherit
- Create .mntcheck
- On the folder "/images" and "/dev", create the file ".mntcheck"
- CMD: touch .mntcheck
- Create new user
- Permission for the path
- Storage -> clic on data/images -> Change Permissions
- User: Free
- group: Free
- Mode: 777
- Type of ACL: Unix
- Set Permission recursively: YES
- Verification: cmd: ls -laR /mnt/Volume1/data/images
- NFS
- Don't edit "/etc/exports". In my case, when i restart the service, the file faded. I had to WEBGui.
- On the left.
- Sharing -> Inux (NFS) Shares -> Add Unix (NFS) Share.
- Comment:...
- Authorized networks: 192.168.56.0/24
- All directories: OK
- Maproot User: Free
- Maproot Group: Free
- Path: /mnt/Volume1/data/images
- OK.
- Idem for the folder "/dev"
- Verification:
- cmd: cat /etc/exports
- FTP (I don't know if it's really necessary)
- Services -> FTP -> Advenced Mode
- Path: /mnt/Volume1/data/images
- File Permission: 666
- Directory Permission: 777
Now: you can upload your client.
- Problem, you may also get an error message at the end: FOGFTP: failed to rename file.
- Method 1 doesn't works with me, so i use method 2.
- CMD: cp -a /mnt/Volume1/data/image/dev/@MAC /mnt/Volume1/data/images/NameOfYourImage
- cp -a to keep the same permission.
- That's it.
