NetSUS - no web login and disk space

Hi,

I'm in the process of trying to get NetSUS set up, our Systems team have created a LInux VM with Azure.

I have 2 issues/questions which may be related ?

One. - When i try to access the webpage after the install nothing loads and it times out, i've tried using https://VMipaddress.local/webadmin & https://VMipaddress:443/ & https://VMipaddress to see if Apache is up

i can ssh on and Apache is running, i initially installed using NetSUSLPInstaller.run, then after i couldn't connect to the web page i copied and compiled the source NetSUS-master + CreateNetSUSInstaller.sh.

Two. - The VM had been allocated 32GB rather than 300GB (i discovered after the install, never assume!!) our Systems team have now changed it to 300GB but i need to expand the file system which is still at 32GB

I started following the part Derflounders instructions for expanding disk space, if i run df -h i do not see the NetSUS partition /dev/mapper/NetSUS-root.

The first thing i need to fix is the disk space but i'm not sure whether to continue if this NetSUS partition doesn't exist. (If i had control over the VM i'd just start again with a fresh VM and 300GB but it needs to go through another team which may take a while...)

any pointers please ?

@May I'm not sure where you got 300GB as the recommended size for the NetSUS VM storage requirements as the documentation page lists it as 500GB. As of this morning my disk usage stats are 346GB for a NetSUS with reposadocommon.py modified to cache 10.12.x updates. See the reposadocommon.py in the official Reposado GitHub repo for the needed changes if you want your NetSUS to include 10.12.x updates.

Thanks @StoneMagnet

I got the info from JAMF Github page , are you able to post the link to the documentation you're using ?

"Requirements

To install the NetBoot/SUS/LP server using an installer, you need:

The NetBoot/SUS/LP Server Installer (.run), available at:
https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/viewProduct.html?id=180&view=info
One of the following operating systems:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.4 or later
CentOS 6.4 or later
300 GB of disk space available

@May It looks like that getting_started.md page is out of date (it refers to NetSUS 4.0.0). If you look at the README.md document (displayed on the main NetSUS GitHub page) which refers to NetSUS 4.1.0 you'll see the 500GB requirement. As I mentioned in my initial post, the 4.1.0 NetSUS is out of date compared to the official Reposdao repo, so you'll have to look there for changes if you intend to provide Sierra specific updates from your NetSUS.

Thanks @StoneMagnet

i'll ask them to increase the disk space and look at the changes for Sierra (once i get it running....)
