Manual install of the freenas proxmox plugin:Archive

Please be aware that this plugin uses the FreeNAS APIs and NOT the ssh/scp interface like the other plugins use, but...

You will still need to configure the SSH connector for listing the ZFS Pools because this is currently being done in a Proxmox module (ZFSPoolPlugin.pm). To configure this please follow the steps at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_ZFS_over_iSCSI that have to do with SSH between Proxmox VE and FreeNAS. The code segment should start out �mkdir /etc/pve/priv/zfs�.

I am currently in development to remove this depencancy from the ZFSPoolPlugin.pm so it is done in the FreeNAS.pm.

1. Install the perl REST Client and git packages from the repository.

   apt-get install librest-client-perl git

2. Issue the following (You can be in any directory you'd like but I use /root)

   git clone https://github.com/TheGrandWazoo/freenas-proxmox.git
   cd freenas-proxmox

3. If you want to use the current development branch (default) then issue...

   git checkout master
   

4. If you want to use the current stable branch then issue...

   git checkout 1.0
   

5. Next issue the following commands to patch the needed files for the FreeNAS Interface

   patch -b /usr/share/pve-manager/js/pvemanagerlib.js < pve-manager/js/pvemanagerlib.js.patch
   patch -b /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/ZFSPlugin.pm < perl5/PVE/Storage/ZFSPlugin.pm.patch
   patch -b /usr/share/pve-docs/api-viewer/apidoc.js < pve-docs/api-viewer/apidoc.js.patch

6. Use the following command to copy the needed file for the FreeNAS connector.

   cp perl5/PVE/Storage/LunCmd/FreeNAS.pm /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/LunCmd/FreeNAS.pm

7. Execute the following at a console command prompt to active the above

   systemctl restart pvedaemon
   systemctl restart pveproxy
   systemctl restart pvestatd

8. Remember to follow the instructions mentioned above for the SSH keys.

9. Refresh the Proxmox GUI in your browser to load the new Javascript code.

10. Add your new FreeNAS ZFS-over-iSCSI storage using the FreeNAS-API.

11. Thanks for your support.
