This may be a simple one for you, but not me - I have a virtual FOG server setup and connected to domain now. I want to point my images directory to a shared folder on a local NAS unit. I can browse the network on the FOG server to the shared folder I have the images in (located on a NAS). In the browsed folder (from within the FOG server), If I right click-Properties, it shows the location as : [B]smb://ernas03/d$/images/[/B]. Its at this path (on different partition) [B]\ERNAS03\D$\images [/B]if I use Windows.

A user recommended this link: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Change_NFS_location[/url]

However, I do not know how to input that exact path the ‘linux way’. Can someone help me?

I thought I could just add a Storage node, but it must not like what I have inputed for it.

Ok so I have the virtual FOG server setup and connected to domain now. I can browse the network on the FOG server to the shared folder I have the images in. If I right click-Properties, it shows the location as : smb://ernas03/d$/.
Its at this path (on different partition) \ERNAS03\D$\images. However, I do not know how to input that path in linux. Seems the dashes (\ , / ) are backwards and I know one wrong input it wont work. Can you help me?

Looking at that link, I cant comprehend it. I simply have a virtual Fog server loaded, not a Domain member. I have a NAS unit running Windows Server OS and on a shared folder, I have all my images. I want to link them, but looking at that link I cant understand what I need to change…

I setup my FOG server with a small amount of space. However, I have ALOT of images stored on a shared folder located on a NAS unit. I thought I could perhaps point to that NAS folder and continue to upload and deploy images from there as well as the default location on the FOG server. I am thinking of adding a storage node from the FOG .32 GUI pointing to that location. Would that accomplish this? Am I right in my thinking and if so, can I get pointed in the right direction? Thanks!

I got it. I ran the exact line you had, but took the # off. So this is what worked: [FONT=Consolas]mysql -u root -p[password] fog < hosts.sql[/FONT]

[FONT=Consolas]I want to thank you for your fast and helpful responses. You do an excellent job on this site! Keep up the good work…[/FONT]

Its in my Home directory. With folders like desktop, documents, music, pictures. Then there’s the hosts.sql file with them.

Yes, my new server has a root password. Lets say its football. Im assuming I would need to put: [B]-p[football][/B] right? or just [B]-pfootball[/B] with no brackets?

Also, Im not sure how to run the command from that specifric directoy. Im opening terminal and it shows gala@FOGvirtual:~$. I tried cd home, cd desktop but all comes back with “No such file or directory”. I know its something easy here but Im not so familiar with using terminal here.

Ok - so I got the host.sql file from the old server onto my new server. I pasted it in the same location where I got the old file from. I go to [B]file system[/B]–>[B]home[/B]–>[B]gala[/B] and my file is there. I opened terminal and on the line is this code: [B]gala@fogvirtual:~$ #mysql -u root -p[password] fog < hosts.sql[/B]…Do I have it setup looking in the wrong directory? I figured I could run that, then open my Fog Managment page and they would all show? Sorry to be so off on this, but Im so close

I added one new host to the new Fog server. I have aroud 200 hosts on old Fog server. I read that thread but I’m needing more of a breakdown - do I open terminal and just add [FONT=Consolas][B]#mysqldump -u root -p[password] fog hosts > hosts.sql[/B]? Where will it go? Please elaborate for Im not familair with this… Its been a looooong time since setting this up. Thanks for your help as well![/FONT]

Hello, I need a very, very basic breakdown for exporting host information from an old fog server to the new fog server. I found this thread ([url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/mass-export-host-information.902/[/url]), but not sure how to start and if this is the way to do it now. Seems you can import a .csv file, but no easy way to export. Can anyone help provide me these steps? The Ubutu OS is something I am still getting aquinted with.
