If it works the DroboPro is still a very nice addition to your network.

If you need to connect via USB disconnect the network cable from the DroboPro and vice versa.

I succeeded in formatting it to EXT4 but I suppose their firmware also does NTFS and EXT3 tricks to speed things up so I’m sticking to NTFS for the moment.

The DroboPro does not support EXT4, say Data Robotics.

These things are nice to know in advance: The server connected, I copied all five terabytes of my data to it, reinstalled my server, connected over iscsi without any difficulties whatsoever this time and restored the data. I then did a factory reset on the DroboPro, was able to connect via Drobo Dashboard, created a fresh NTFS partition and set a new iscsi IP address.

After a LOT of trial and error I found that it would not connect to an iscsi IP address it had tried to connect to earlier and failed so after every failure I needed to reconnect the DroboPro to the VM via USB, set an other iscsi IP address and try to reconnect from my server.Įventually I was no longer able to connect Drobo Dashboard to the DroboPro via USB.

Then more trouble: my older installation (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) would not connect to the iscsi target. The VM started and the DroboPro connected. # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup <- this didn't work! Note that running the setup as root did NOT work: Had enough? I had but I still needed to run That didn’t work I needed to allow only USB 2 passthrough. My laptop had a USB 3 port so I enabled USB 3.

Just make sure you have the right Extension Pack installed and install the Client Additions on the VM. VirtualBox is well documented the instructions are here. Unfortunately VirtualBox in Ubuntu’s repositories is not the latest version and at the time of writing the current version has a bug which prevents USB passthrough from the host to the guest VM.

No problem, just install VirtualBox and install a Windows 7 trial. I didn’t have a Windows machine at my disposal, just a Xubuntu 15.04 laptop.

You can only connect to its management web interface through Drobo Dashboard from a Windows or a Mac machine using a USB cable. # iscsiadm -mode node -targetname :0 -portal 10.0.0.2:3260 -login Do not include the space nor the bit before. # iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 10.0.0.2ġ0.0.0.2:3260,0 :0Ĭopy the target name which is the bit after the space. When I couldn’t log in for no specific reason this seemed to help. You *can* do it over your regular network but any communication between your server and the iscsi target will decrease the bandwidth you have left on your network. My Debian server has a dedicated network card for this purpose.

Here’s how I connect from Debian 8 to my DroboPro over iscsi.
