My views on “OpenmediaVault” to manage small scale servers…which is an Open Source solution



My Observation:
This is based on Debian Linux kernel. The main feature of it is a web-based server administration panel. We can use web admin panel to monitor and get automated emails or alert based on the activity like the use of Amazon Cloud Watch.

I highlighted the following key features as follows:

·         Web-based server administration
·         View services and their histories
·         Already configured main services such as SSH, FTP, NFS, RSYCN & SMB (active directory in windows).
·         GUI management of above-mentioned services
·         GUI for email notifications
·         GUI for, Scheduled jobs (Cron jobs)
·         Storage management especially when we need to setup and configure RAID 5 or 10 as a failover cluster.
·         GUI on performances such as CPU Usage, Memory Usage, Network Usage, Disk Usage, and load average information
·         GUI in system logs
·         GUI on setting up and configuration of “ShareFolders”. Assign individual disk space quotas for different users.
·         Date time setting of the server
·         Setting a network setting
·         GUI on firewall management, Restrict or allow certain traffic ranges to the desired IP addresses.
·        

My Testing Platform:
I used virtual box for the testing, Network had connected as “Bridge” mode and in order to get DHCP IP from my ADSL router.
OS Type: Linux, Debian 64x
Attached ‘openmediavault_4.1.3-amd64.iso’ at bootable optical drive for the installation purpose.

Why ? What ? Sometimes we need to move the existing PACS environment to a newer one due to space limitations as well as due to other security issues. Here I am going to discuss the steps that need to take for the backup and restoration of ' DCM4CHEE 2.18.1' . Here I call ' ServerA ' as my existing server and ' ServerB ' as the targeted new server where we need to deploy latest backup. How to backup images from ServerA? Its quite easy to backup old images and database into a new DCM4CHEE-2.18.1 version platform. Backing up sense has two actions:  1. Backup the 'Archive' folder where Dicom images have been saved. 2. Backup the mysql database named as 'pacsdb' where username and password are ' pacs'. Backup 'Archive' folder at  ‘/opt/dcm4chee-2.18.1-mysql/server/default/archive'  : Use pen drive to copy (Use Ubuntu GUI) OR Create a Network Share using 'Samba'  at '/tmp/ Share'   and copy the...
