6.2 · Fully Stateless What's new in 6.2

Storage OS. Fully Stateless.

OviOS never has to be installed. Boot it from a USB stick, an ISO or the network and it runs entirely from RAM. Your whole configuration lives on your ZFS pools and comes back by itself at every boot.

Simple by design

From zero to production-ready storage in 5 minutes

The easiest storage OS to set up. No storage skills required: every step is a guided prompt in the OviOS shell.

Step 1

Network

Bonds, VLANs, static or DHCP addresses, in guided tools.

bondadm · vlandadm · netsetup

Step 2

Pool

Pick your disks and a layout. Add spares or cache any time.

pool create · vol create

Step 3

Export a volume over SMB or NFS, or map a LUN for iSCSI.

smb-export add · nfs-export add · target create · lun map

Step 4

Protect

Replicate to a DR node, or build an HA cluster.

Resilience

Protect your data. Keep it online.

A cluster mirrors your primary, even to a DR site, and replication backs your data up. Both are built in.

Free · automatic failover licensed

HA & DR — ovios-cluster

A secondary that mirrors your primary, in the same rack or at your DR site, managed with a single command.

Free forever: clusters of any size, witness nodes, monitoring, fencing and manual failover
With a license: automatic failover, with no manual step. Without one, failover is manual.
