Multi-Protocol Storage Hub (v1.15.0)
Version v1.15.0 Vanguard introduces the Storage Hub, a major leap forward in how Coblyn manages disk images across your infrastructure.
NFS + SMB/CIFS Native Support
You are no longer bound to a single NFS share. The Storage Hub allows you to mix and match Linux-native NFS pools with enterprise-standard SMB/CIFS shares (Windows/Synology/QNAP).
Key Features:
- AES-256 Encryption: All NAS credentials are encrypted at rest using Fernet keys.
- Self-Healing: Automated detection of stale mounts with lazy unmount and background retry.
- Protocol Discovery: Built-in network scanner to find storage servers in your subnet.
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
Coblyn Vanguard transforms the deployment from a manual task to a fully automated background process.
The ZTP Workflow:
- Plug and Boot: Computer boots from network (PXE).
- Auto-Assignment: Coblyn recognizes the hardware and assigns the pre-set deployment profile.
- No Interaction: The system wipes, partitions, and restores the image without a single click from the user.
- Final Check-in: The Vanguard Agent reports a successful state once the OS is booted.
