The requirements for OMV5 start with 1GB of RAM. It seems that this device only has 512MB. I guess this will be the first problem to overcome.
I have a 64GB DOM with Wear Leveling. So I have only the problem described in Post 1.
Yes, that seems the easiest way.
But I have such a DOM and so I thought I could use it for this purpose.
I have a Intel SS4200 (also known as Fujitsu Scaleo Home Server).
I have in 2021 the same problem for installing the newest version of OMV from scratch as described in Post 1.
For my needs the hardware is good enough.
So I want to know, what I have to do installing OMV (Version 5.6.13-1) on the DOM and using the 4 HDDs for storing my data?
Thanks so much for the info!
I didn't want to bother w/ the serial console so I did a slightly modified method installing to a different PC and then just swapping the DOM into my SS4200:
- Download OMV iso and burn to CD or install onto USB stick using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
- Install DOM in desktop. I disconnected all HDs just in case it didn't detect the DOM. I've seen Linux installers pick a drive automatically and wipe it when only detecting one possible install location.
- Boot from USB stick or CD, install OMV on DOM following prompts.
- Boot OMV from DOM (still on desktop).
- login to root.
- Type: echo ata_piix >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules(press enter)
- type: echo pata_legacy >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (press enter)
- type: update-initramfs -u (press enter)
- type: rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (press enter)
- type: shutdown -h now to shutdown desktop.
- Remove DOM & install into SS4200
- Assign static IP to the NAS from router
- Start up NAS. Login from any other PC using web interface & assigned IP. Done!
Thanks very much for the help!
It seems that the solution today does not work any more.
I am using OMV 5.6.13-1 (Linux 5.10.0-0.bpo.8-am64).
But I would like to continue using my hardware.
Has anyone a hint for me, that I can use all of my 4 HDDs? Thank you in advance.
