    I’m sorry, i don’t understand what you try to say me … 😞
    Wayne, what is the CLI? whats the pwd command on a 2008 server?

    George, i followed this guide to setup the nfs server, but the powershell commands aren’t the same on 2008 and 2012, i adapted it by search on microsoft an equivalent.(i stopped to follow the guide on that step, because i use FILEZILLA SERVER for ftp)

    I don’t understand my problem ; i need to install FTP on my Windows storage node more than filezilla server ?..

    It look very complicated, it works just with filezilla + nfs role , but it just can’t create the directory on /images…

      @arnaudrigole I thought your node was a linux node… You can disreguard. FYI the acronym for CLI is Command Line Interface.

      Also - I’m a purist. I will not install third party anything if the base-OS can do it natively. This solves a lot of maintenance issues, update issues, and reduces complexity overall.

        i hope this is why you ask me:
        i just opened a cmd, when type the following cmds:

        c:\windows\system32> ftp 10.1.11.64 <-- windows storage node
        ftp> use fog
        331 password required for fog
        ftp> fogpassword
        230 Logged on
        ftp> cd /informatique/Service_info/FOG/images
        250 CWD successful. “/informatique/Service_info/FOG/images” is current directory
        ftp> pwd
        257 “/informatique/Service_info/FOG/images” is current directory

          @arnaudrigole said in Image hosting on NFS server, process uncompleted?:

          /informatique/Service_info/FOG/images

          That’s your FTP path.

          FOG Trunk supports independent FTP paths, which you need.

                Ok i’ll try to snapshot my fog vm before upgrade, then try to upgrade.

                Seeing that the early uses it generated more problems than I already was in , I preferred board on version 1.2 . I do not remember exactly , but it was impossible to automatically inventory a machine, it had to be done manually , and after it was impossible to launch any task.

                  Is it possible to copy/paste all .img files which are actually on fog local storage, on fog external storage and make em readable for fog webui?
                  Is it a procedure to transfer an image?

                    i don’t know if there is a procedure, per se, but you can move images to a new storage node. just copy the image (including the directory and all files in it) and update the image profile with the new location

                      @arnaudrigole I have some methods documented.

                      using lftp:
                      lftp -c 'open x.x.x.x; user UserGoesHere PasswordHere; mirror -e /images/TheImagePath /images/TheImagePath; quit'

                      using NFS:
                      mount x.x.x.x:/<remote directory> <local directory>
                      cp -R /mbimages/Optiplex9020UEFI /images/Optiplex9020UEFI
                      umount <local directory>

                      Using Samba:
                      mkdir /tempMount
                      mount -t cifs //x.x.x.x/ShareNameGoesHere /tempMount -o username=YourUsernameGoesHere -o password=YourPasswordGoesHere,noexec
                      cp -r /tempMount/ImageNameHere /images/ImageNameHere
                      umount /tempMount

                      using SCP:
                      scp -r /images/ImageNameHere root@x.x.x.x:/images/ImageNameHere

                      using rsync:
                      rsync -a /images/ImageNameHere root@x.x.x.x:/images/ImageNameHere

                        Thank you very much.

                        I let you informed about my issue after upgrading to trunk.

                        Have a good night 😉

                            @arnaudrigole When you put the files in the correct directory FOG will see them. No need to index or anything!

                            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)

                                @Sebastian-Roth I think he’s talking about the image definitions, in the web gui.

                                If the image definitions are not already there, and the old server was the same version as the new one, you can try to export the images and import them. Otherwise you must create the definitions manually.

                                  Ohhhh, didn’t read properly. If this is a complete new server (and DB) then you need to create the image definition or import those from a DB dump… sorry for that!

                                    Or depending on the source FOG server version, export the Image definitions into a csv file and then import them into the new fog server. The image files are already on the target server, what is missing is the db definitions.

                                    We have to do something similar in our multi-master/storage node setup (unique configuration for our application. But only when we add new images in our environment).

                                      Thanks for your help. I haven’t new fog server, i just setup a new storage node on Windows Server 2008R2.

                                      Currently, my images are stored on /images on the fog local server, i wanna know if it’s possible to move em on my windows nfs server, like Wayne described : copy all the .img files in fogserver:/images in a directory named exactly as the local fog server directory.

                                      I’m currently copying an image (18gb) on nfs server, then i’ll create the correspondant entry on fog webui and will see if it see the image : )

                                        @arnaudrigole Oh. I guess I missed the part about the windows storage node somewhere? Sorry.

                                        Guess Sebastian was right to begin with (he doesn’t make mistakes too often).

                                        So, if the windows server is configured as a storage node, you’re good to go. Don’t worry about the image definitions.

                                        However - You’ll need more than NFS on the windows server, you’ll need FTP too. Windows Server comes with both of these things native, and I would recommend using the windows native tools to set it up.

                                        @george1421 has a writeup explaining how to do it all via PowerShell - and I would recommend his instructions. In the past, I’ve tried setting it up via GUI in windows and things just weren’t working.

                                        However… I do now have a windows server setup at home, it could be an opportune time to maybe document the process…

                                          I just transfered .img files in a directory named “P7510Win7prox64CAO” , exactly like defined in the “image path” on the image i created on fog webgui.

                                          Created a storage group for my windows server, and setup this image on that storage group.

                                          Fog don’t see the image size, i think it dont recognize it…
