@ManofValor A NAS is roughly equivalent to a second file server to store your images on. You could either connect the NAS to the linux server using NFS or you can setup your NAS as a FOG storage node.
For 2 of the 3 options this doesn’t involve FOG at all. If you setup your NAS as a FOG storage node you will need to setup some stuff on your NAS (ftp, NFS, and a NFS share)
So which NFS option would you recommend for a noob?.
After doing some reading about iSCSI, NAS, and the like, I asked my boss why it had to be iSCSI and not NFS and said he just likes iSCSI. He said I can do NFS, that it didn’t matter. I hear that is easier than iSCSI?
@Wayne-Workman It’s a Buffalo Terastation TS-RIXL NAS device. I want this to be my main storage node seeing it is 8T instead of 500G. It is also RAID5.
@george1421 @Wayne-Workman @Tom-Elliott
Am I on the right track with my last two posts?
I also found this:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_FOG#Adding_a_Storage_Node
Under “Adding a Storage Node” it seems to me that I just follow these steps, am I right?
@VincentJ Is that what this is for?

Will this not give me what I need?
To make sure I understand, I can make the images with the FOG server and then use the NAS to store the images, until ready for deployment. I’ve never used iSCSI so this is all new, even FOG.
@george1421 Sorry, been busy. The target is a NAS device. Using it to capture and deploy images. Not sure I quite understand the last question but basically I need to store the images till needed for deployment.
Can’t find a thread anywhere about this so I’m starting one. Does FOG work with iSCSI and if so how do I go about setting it up? Thanks in advance.
@Wayne-Workman ok. I wish we could have come out with an answer. I guess it was just a PMS moment.
@Wayne-Workman Well, I deleted the host and got the “host not registered” message but when I chose quick image it started the image. Is there a way to cancel in progress or do I have to just let it do it again? Not sure what changed other than registering it before. That’s the only thing I did different.
@Wayne-Workman To do that I would have to delete the image I captured wouldn’t I?
@Wayne-Workman I was getting that boot error. That’s what wasn’t working. It wouldn’t let me do a quick image. For some reason it worked after registering at the client pc.
@Tom-Elliott I understand, I posted that a couple posts up. Everything is working after manually registering at the client.
@Sebastian-Roth Thx once again everybody.
So I’m not sure if I’ve just been missing a step or if it works differently with different machines, but when I registered it through the client it started working. I put up a screen shot that showed it saying “Host Not Registered” and I haven’t seen that before. I haven’t had to do that yet, not that I shouldn’t have been, so maybe someone could help me understand here. Am I supposed to register through the client every time?
@Tom-Elliott Yes, but have to be Monday, sorry. Servers are getting shut down for a generator install. Thanks see ya’ll Monday.
@Tom-Elliott Yes, I put in my user name and password and it gave me a list images then I chose the one I setup for this machine.
