Setup a napp-it ZFS Storage Server

Step1: Setup your OS ex
see http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/Installation

Step 2: configure you network
enable DHCP or set a fixed ip

Step 3: setup the appliance
run the online installer

wget -O - www.napp-it.org/nappit | perl

Please set a password for root and napp-it now (only on permission error messages in 151028)!
passwd root and optionally passwd napp-it

You can now manage the storage server via: http://ip_of_your_server:81

After setup I suggest to clone the bootdisk to an external disk or an SMB/NFS share (can be your desktop) with clonezilla (from USB stick) or with the help of an 3,5″ hardware Sata raid 1 enclosure.  If you care about uptime, do a ZFS boot mirror on two disks.  If you use a hardware raid-1 enclosure, I would use it with its hotplug capability to clone the bootdisk – not for regular raid-use as they are not as good as ZFS mirrors.

Recovery:
In case of problems, try a former BE, use the bootable backup disk or restore from image with clonezilla.
