Hello guys,
I've a FreeNAS server with 24 disks running a single pool for iSCSI sharing with VM's inside.
Now with the constant FreeNAS updates it's becoming a little frustrating to upgrade the software. Since I don't have any other storages I must shutdown all my VM's to update the system an them restart everything. So a downtime period is needed.
I doing this procedure just to be safe, but I would like to know if it's possible to update the FreeNAS installation and reboot the server without disabling the iSCSI connections. I'm aware that when I reboot the server the iSCSI communication will be ended, but the point here is to know if the software is smart enough to reestablish the connection when it come back.
If yes the update process will be much more straightforward.
Thanks in advance,
Vinícius.
