    Description

    I am attempting to create storage node on a NAS and make that the default image storage. Since starting this, I have found that the DROBO can be a little interesting to get setup. Things I had to install on the Drobo to get started:

    GIT
    SUDO
    BASH
    OPENSSH

    I have all these installed and running and can putty to the unit. I got the FOG install file 1.4.4 on the unit and was able to get the install to run. (This is where I’m stuck.)

    I get through all the options in the sh and start the install and this is what I get.

    Any Thoughts?

      @EAHarvey In debian/ubuntu the command getent is part of the libc-bin package. Not sure about redhat based systems and have no idea why Drobo is missing it. I have to admit that I haven’t found out what Drobo firmware is based on yet. Does it have a package management like dpkg/rpm/…?

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

            Um, I’m a bit confused. Are you trying to install FOG on the Drobo to make a fog master node, or are you just trying to create a storage node. If you are making a storage node then there is a much easier way.

            For a fog storage node all you need on the nas is nfs, tftp, ftp (server). If you want to make it a master node that can be done. Just understand the caveat that it won’t be able to replicate the images to other storage nodes you need a real and full install FOG server for that. I have a tutorial for turning a synology NAS into a fog storage node as well as a windows servers. So it is surely possible.

            Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

              @george1421 That’s beautiful sir. Can you link that. I want the DROBO to be the main /image location.

                @EAHarvey Understand this is for synology, but you should be able to translate to most other NAS devices.

                The last bit is you need to create a storage group and add your FOG server and drobo in that group, then remove the master node setting from fog server and then add master node to the drobo

                  @george1421 synology would be a better option for sure. I’ll get right on it. Thanks so much.

                    @EAHarvey Shall we mark this solved or are you still looking into getting FOG setup within Drobo?
