Mounting /images/dev Permission Denied

@vkenny said in Mounting /images/dev Permission Denied:
I know the next question is going to be why do you need 5 FOG VM’s. The reason is we have 5 independent networks that cannot be accessed by any other. Each network is on a different VLAN with different IP schema.
Does your ESXi server have the potential access to all of these vlans?
-
@george1421
Each FOG VM is setup to have access to a specific VLAN through Virtual Switch and Port Group. We have that setup already. -
@vkenny So here’s my thoughts/suggestions, take them as you will.
Setup a Single server, with 5 nics.
Install FOG on that server as you normally would.
Once installed create 4 more storage nodes.
All nodes will contain exactly the same information with the exception of the Name and IP address of the node.
This is just my suggestion. Sharing the same disc with 5 different VM’s is going to cause problems, no matter how it’s done.
-
So how are the storage Nodes synced? If I create an image in lets say “Room 1” but want to deploy that image to say “Room 2” will this be possible?
-
@vkenny Yes. From the VLAN perspective the information remains exactly the same.
The only problem, as I see it, is your /tftpboot/default.ipxe might have some problems.
So after the first install you would want to change the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file.
Edit the ‘ipaddress=’ line to read:
${next-server}where the IP address was. (Literally read${next-server}) (Though I can help you manually edit the/tftpboot/default.ipxefile as this could also cause other unknown issues.)Your DHCP for each vlan would need to point at the respective FOG Server VLAN IP in regards to Option 66/next-server

@Tom-Elliott
Do I break the Data store up into 5 different data stores in ESXi, or leave it a single Data store and create 5 different storage nodes from the single data store? -
@vkenny The second element. (Single data store/server, 5 different nodes pointing essentially at the exact same spot.)
