NexentaStor

Booting to the NexentaStor Community Edition 3.0.4 CD. Video is speeded up, clock at lower right is real time. The Nexenta EUELA license is shown; I have already read it so I choose 'I Agree.' Nexenta installation message. I choose 'OK.' Installer asks which disk to install to. I choose the 7.47GB disk, which is a Compact Flash card. Installer warns that all data will be destroyed during auto partitioning. I choose 'Yes' to continue. Installer does its thing for the next 55+ minutes. Video here is highly compressed. Installation complete. I remove the CD and press OK to restart the server. (Server restarting. Compressed video) At the first reboot screen I am given a challenge code prompted to use that to obtain a license code via web page. I go to the URL and enter my contact information along with the challenge code. Having received the license key via email, I enter it at the prompt. Configuring the primary network interface. I enter IP address, gateway, DNS info. Knowing I can configure other network interfaces later, I choose NOT to configure the other NIC. I choose to have Nexenta present its web interface via standard HTTP, rather than secure HTTPS. I choose to present the web interface on port 2000. I note that I can revisit the choice later by running 'setup appliance init.' Basic config is complete, the web interface is ready to use. I navigate to it in a browser. In the first web-based config screen, I change the hostname and domain, the click 'Next Step.' I set the root and admin account passwords, then click 'Next Step.' I'll be able to reconfigure the email setup (for sending alerts) later, so I just click 'Next Step.' Configuration is complete. I review the settings and choose 'Save Configuration.' Here I configure the address and netmask for the second NIC, and click 'Add Interface.' I review the network settings and choose 'Next Step.' iSCSI settings are presented. I can configure them later so I choose 'Next Step.' Currently installed disks are shown. I choose 'Next Step.' I create my first ZFS volume by selecting the two available disks, selecting RAIDZ1 as the redundancy type, naming the pool, and selecting 'Create Volume.' My volume is created and I have no more disks so I choose 'Next Step.' The setup wizard is nearly complete. I review my changes, click the box to setup a weekly disk scrub, and choose 'Start NMV.' The NexentaStor appliance is online!
