How to: Use FOG (1.1.2) with FreeNAS (Storage node - 9.1.1)

[Slowave]

Hello.

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.

[U]Fog Server[/U]: 192.168.56.102
[U]FreeNAS[/U]: 192.168.56.240

[U][SIZE=5]FOG Server:[/SIZE][/U]

[U]Step 1[/U]: 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 )

[U]Step 2[/U]: Image Management
For your image, choose the storage group witch contains the new storage node.

[SIZE=5][U]FreeNAS[/U][/SIZE]:

[U]Step 1[/U]: Add Volume1
Storage -> ZFS Volume Manager:

Volume Name: Volume1
Volume layout: All the disk (in my case)

[U]Step 2[/U]: Create the path
Clic on [B]Volume1[/B] -> Create ZFS Dataset:
Dataset Name: [B]data[/B]
Compression level: inherit
Enable atime: inherit
ZFS Deduplication: inherit

Clic on[B] data[/B] -> Create ZFS Dataset:
Dataset Name: [B]images[/B]
Compression level: inherit
Enable atime: inherit
ZFS Deduplication: inherit

Clic on [B]images[/B] -> Create ZFS Dataset:
Dataset Name: [B]dev[/B]
Compression level: inherit
Enable atime: inherit
ZFS Deduplication: inherit

[U]Step 3[/U]: Create .mntcheck

On the folder “/images” and “/dev”, create the file “.mntcheck”

CMD: touch .mntcheck

[U]Step 4[/U]: Create new user.

Account -> Users -> Add User
Username: Free
Primary Group ID: Free
Home Directory: /mnt/Volume1/data/images
Home Directory Mode: 777

[U]Step 5[/U]: Permission for the path

Storage -> clic on data/images -> Change Permissions
User: Free
group: Free
Mode: 777
Type of ACL: Unix
Set Permission recursively: [B]YES[/B]

[U]Verification[/U]: cmd: ls -laR /mnt/Volume1/data/images

[U]Step 6[/U]: 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”

[U]Verification[/U]: cmd: cat /etc/exports
[IMG]http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/18/1430128125-freenas46.png[/IMG]

[U]Step 7[/U]: 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.

[IMG]http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/18/1430128580-freenas47.png[/IMG]

CMD: cp -a /mnt/Volume1/data/image/dev/@MAC /mnt/Volume1/data/images/NameOfYourImage

cp -a to keep the same permission.

That’s it. If I have forgotten nothing, you can use FreeNAS with FOG Server
