Which Should I Do?

  • For the pass 3 days I have been trying to get my OVM 7 to talk to my computer. I can ping my OVM PI, but to setup a network connection to do it, windows tells me can't find the network path. First off, I like OVM series, but 7 has a lot of bugs in it, and OVM 6 is outdated now or expire, and I would like to have a NAS. So I'm asking the coummity for their option on this. Should I continue trying to get OVM 7 to work like it should? Should I delete OVM 7 and try OVM 6, and if this is the case, where can I get OVM 6 at? Is there another type of NAS out there like OVM? Or should I just drop the whole thing?

    Thanks for your input.

    A backup strategy is worthless unless you have a verified to work by testing restore strategy.

    If you can ping from Windows to OMV and vice versa, then the basic network connection between the two is working. If by "windows tells me can't find the network path" you mean that you cannot connect to a SMB share, then that's a different problem. If your OMV IP was for example 192.168.50.50, then just typing "\\192.168.0.50.50" in the Windows "run" dialogue should bring up enter your name & password dialogue. This assumes of course you have configured SMB shares correctly on your OMV along with adding at least one non-root "user account" to OMV.
