NAS Storage Node
- Information sited from
- This is an option that has been successfully done on a few occasions and NOT ALL NAS devices work as a Storage node.
- This is a generic setup for NAS devices
Basic Idea
- Install FOG storage node script on NAS and use it as a Storage node for your FOG server.
- A few basic things will need to be installed by the install script ssh, ftp, nfs, and mysql.
Installation
NOTE: It is assumed that you already have a working FOG server at this point in time. If you do not please ask in the forum to get the server working first.
- First you must obtain (enable) ssh on your NAS to be able to even work with it.
- On some devices such as a "My Booklive" you will need to login to the web portal and enable it from there. See your device user manual for this.
- Download FOG from our download page or use a trunk version.
- Unpack the FOG tar and navigate to fog/bin.
- Run the installation script, ./installfog.sh
- Select your operating system.
- When prompted for Server Installation Mode, select S, for storage node.
- Enter the IP address of the storage node.
- Confirm you interface
- Then you will need to enter the IP address or host name of the node running the FOG database
- Then you will be prompted for a username (typically fogstorage) and a password that is located on the FOG server, that will allow the storage node to access the main FOG server's database. This information is located in the FOG management portal for convenience (on the main for server). It can be accessed via Other Information -> FOG settings -> section FOG Storage Nodes.
- You will then be prompted to confirm your installation settings, if they are correct press Y end hit Enter.
- When installation completes, the install will produce a username and password that will be needed to add the storage node to the FOG management portal. Username is "fog", password is in /opt/fog/.fogsettings
- Go to your webgui of your FOG server and Add a Storage Node.
