iso smb library - how to create it in XOA?

akurzawa

Hi, I'm not talking about creating local iso, but about attaching samba share with isos to xcp - I'm talking exactly about the function from the screenshot

If it's not in your fully updated XOA, then create a support ticket to ask for the feature.

@olivierlambert support ticket ? where? or report it on github?

olivierlambert

If you are using XOA, you have a support zone: https://xen-orchestra.com/#!/member/support

Otherwise a GitHub ticket, but please be very precise on what you want/need.

If u gonna use "ISO SMB share" u need a "Windows OS Machine" as well to link it to

I Have a "Windows 2019 Server" that has a SMB Share for ISO to xcp-ng

@akurzawa Unless i'm misreading the question (totally possible ) you should be able to create an SMB / CIFS ISO Storage Repo in XOA by going to;
New --> Storage --> Then select SMB from the "Select storage type" dropdown list.
Then fill in all the other required details and you should be good to go.

Thats what i've been doing in the home lab with FreeNAS on the backend.

@akurzawa First you need to create a SMB Share somewhere "FreeNas, Nas4Free or Windows" or anywhere else you can create it on.
Then you use the "Windows File Sharing (SMB/CIFS)" to connect it to.

samba share is either not an issue nor the question. also You shouldn't recommend nas4free to anyone.

@MD389 in below config it does not create the iso smb share on selected server

New --> Storage --> Then select SMB from the "Select storage type" dropdown list.

Did the trick. Thank's for solution

@akurzawa

And NO i don´t recommend "Nas4Free" but I want to be netrual to others who might use it

Sorry again for the missunderstanding...

Sometimes it helps to read it 5 times

@Adde about nas4free - It's almost dead project, developed only by few guys, so for security reasons I don't recommend this soft to anyone.
