Replicating the Storage Node itself
-
@iyoung Thanks for following up! Sounds like this project has a lot of potential to work!
-
Did you get this to work?
Im looking to clone a storage node. change the name and IP and then add it to the fog server?
Thanks
-
@Duncan Read the thread please.

I got it working, cloned the 1st storage node, changed the host name and IP and added it to the server.
Tested and all working
Saved me a lot of time cloning.

Sorry about the last response @Duncan. I clone after installing FOG in SN mode, but before adding it to the main server. I had written a little guide for cloning, that covered everything from Fog setting to SSH logins, but of course I can’t find it.
The biggest things you need to change after cloning are:
1: IP address
2: MAC address
3: Hostname (both /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname)
4: /opt/fog/.fogsettings (change the ip address)
5: SSH configuration (If you are connecting over SSH)after which you can rerun the FOGinstallerfolder/bin/installfog.sh. Then add it the server and your good to go.

Hey @Wayne-Workman would you like me to right up a step by step guide on cloning Storage Nodes for the wiki?
-
@iyoung Yes, and please include steps for the interface’s uuid. That’s the only thing I’m seeing missing. See here: http://www.itechlounge.net/2014/03/linux-how-to-generate-uuid-for-network-interface-on-rhelcentos/

@Wayne-Workman I’m using Ubuntu Server, so I won’t be able to include screen shots of that part, which looks to be RH Linux thing. I’ll just add the text and cite the article.
-
Hey @Wayne-Workman I finally have the how-to done. How do you want it, should I upload it in a forum post?
-
@iyoung Yes. Make a new thread, put it in tutorials.
