Не могу найти однозначного ответа на этот вопрос ( не сколько FreeNAS, сколько iSCSI в целом). Возможно ли использование одного iSCSI таргета одновременно несколькими клиентами? Разумеется, речь идет по кейс, когда на презентованном raw устройстве используется соответствующая кластерная...

Hello All, So I had a copy in progress on my iSCSI mounted Volume. Suddenly the performance went really low and then traffic stopped. This was a Windows mounted iSCSI volume. Things got so bad that i had to restart everything. Now I'm getting ***ERROR*** lu_disk_lbwrite() failed consistently...

My system spec's are as follows: Hp Proliant dl385 g7 server 64gigs of ram 24 amd cpu cores at 2.1ghz 32gb lexar flash drive for FreeNAS os LSI hba controller for the drives 8-1tb drives set up in raid-z2 Smart data says the drives are all good 4 gigabit NICs setup in a load balance aggregation...

I've configured an iSCSI drive via FreeNAS and connected it to my windows 10 machine. If I click on "Devices" (German: "Geräte...") a disk "Disk -1" appears: The partion manager hangs up while searching for virtual drives. If I want to see details at the device manager it hangs up too...

During testing, we cloned a VMware VM that was using an iSCSI LUN to boot from. The first VM would start up fine but the second always hung during the boot. The reason was that FreeNAS had panic'd as below: Dec 14 15:58:19 freenas-1 Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode Dec 14 15:58:19...

Hi, I have used FreeNAS for non-critical (file sharing, lab ESXi) use for a while now and I'm about to build our first production FreeNAS box and I'd like to have your advice. The plan is to use this server: HP DL380 G7 48 GB RAM 2x Xeon X5680 Smart Array P410i RAID controller 2 x 2TB...

My ZFS volume is corrupt and throws FreeNAS into panic at boot. I've successfully followed the forum thread that describes how to mount it read only in single user mode so that part is fixed. Network is up and I'm able to ping FreeNAS system from hosts, ssh is also up and I'm logged on to cli...

TL;DR: I think I am hitting a well-known ZFS issue where iSCSI is tanking because large NAS RAM is causing large transaction group sizes to be used, causing server-side timeouts on iSCSI. The most recent advice on this is quite old on these forums, and not really suited to 11.0/11.1. I also...

Hi, CPU: X2 Intel xeon E5-2680V1 RAM: 256GB Motherboard: Supermicro X9DRH-7TF Network: Supermicro AOC-SGP-i4 (Intel i350T4) HBA-CARD: LSI 9300-16i HDD: X6 WD gold 6TB I'm a beginner so if you need to know something, just ask, please take a picture as it gets easier?

Добрый день! Использую iscsi от freenas. В качестве источника используется zvol, размер блока которого 4k, размер логического блока так же 4к (logical block size). Цепляю с клиента (Ubuntu) диск, форматирую его в ext4, монтирую. Все нормально работает (все видится, файлы копируются). Сеть 1Gbit...

I have three physical boxes: 1) FreeNAS 11.0 U3 2) ESXi 6.5 3) Windows Server 2016 All are beefy server-class boxes with 64GB of RAM. Each of the boxes has an X710-DA4 10G NIC. Boxes 1 & 2 are directly connected via SFP+ DAC and use the 192.168.20.x subnet exclusively and can ping each other...

Hi All, I currently have a FreeNAS Server (FreeNAS Mini from ixsystems) which I am currently using as a backup server. The FreeNAS mini is running version 9.10.2-U6 and is using iSCSI to supply a number of targets. My servers are running Windows Server 2012 R2 and are using the targets as...

When copying a file to an iSCSI disk, the speed drops to 0, after about a minute the speed rises, and then again drops to 0, and so on until the whole file is downloaded. FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6 version Speed between FreeNAS and Windows 750Mb / s Can you please tell me how to fix this problem?

Hi, I have faced a strange issue as of the past few days where any time I perform a clone activity on my ESXi host (Dell r710) it will essentially stun the entire host for 700-900 seconds. Here is a bit more background on my environment: Server: Dell r710 NAS: Infortrend EonNAS PRO 850-2...

I have a FreeNAS running on a HP microserver which is being used as a target for Windows Backup. A Server 2016 box is connecting over iSCSI and has been working for ages. Then yesterday, the Windows server crashed out of the blue (no pun intended). The server wouldn't boot whenever the LAN cable...

Hi all. I'm building a new VMware lab environment and part of it is the storage. My plan is to use the following: Server: HP DL380 G8 with two Xeon E5-2670 with 256GB Memory and second drive bay for a total of 16 2.5" drives Drives: 16x Samsung 850 Pro 1TGB 2.5" SSD Boot Device: 16GB Sandisk...

Hi all I want to make sure that I have iSCSI setup correctly with multipath between my FreeNAS and 2 ESXi servers. First the FreeNAS server: The FreeNAS server has a dual port 10GbE card each port is on a different subnet/VLAN, the iSCSI portal is linked to both 10GbE ports, there is one iSCSI...

I'm looking at using FreeNAS to act as the iSCSI storage in a large QEMU/KVM environment. The idea is to find a build that works really well, and add identical SANs to the environment as it grows. I just assembled the first prototype and am concerned with the initial performance tests. Let's...

After setting up FreeNAS 11 for iSCSI and NFS for my vSphere 6.0 lab environment I'm beginning to experiment with boot from iSCSI for ESXi. My thought is that each ESXi host will need its own iSCSI extent, each approximately 2 GB. All previous iSCSI extents were device based which meant adding...

Hi fellas, are you aware of the mechanism by which the GUI writes the iSCSI configuration in /etc/ctl.conf? I found ghost portal groups in /etc/ctl.conf, but in the GUI those are just blank/unconfigured. If I edit /etc/ctl.conf and service ctld reload nothing changes, but after FreeNAS 11...

Hello, whenever I’m creating ISCSI extends and pointing to an existing device, I’m getting a “Zvol "..." does not exist” error on 11-stable. I’ve re-created the Zvol and rebooted the device but no resolution. The last extend I used and worked was on 9.10-stable.

Hello, We are using some virtualised FreeNAS installations (Build FreeNAS-11.0-RELEASE (a2dc21583)) on Dell servers amd ESXi 6.5 hypervisors with enterprise SSDs on LSI 9271 IT-Mode HBAs passed-through to the FreeNAS VMs. So far they have proven very dependable. I successfully replicated a...

I'm running iSCSI to share multiple iSCSI targets. Since I'm new to iSCSI I'm concerned I have the LUN IDs or other settings setup incorrectly. Here's how I'm connecting: I'm running globalSAN Initiator on the connecting Mac Mini (mac-data). I'm running the built-in iSCSI Initiator in Windows...

So I'm doing some testing with FreeNAS. Built a VM in ESX6.5 that had 1 8GB drive for FreeNAS and then 4 small drives for a Storage Volume. Installed FreeNAS 11 and configured everything. Created a raidz2 out of the 4 drives. Created a zvol. Setup all the share info (portal, initiator...

Hi, For the last few days, at 5AM I received emails "freenas.local daily security run output". Two days ago, all it read was: Today it read: I assume this has something to do with my iSCSI setup: "Starscream" is a Windows VM running in Parallals on a Mac Mini. Both the VM and Mac Mini...

I have setup two zvols: 1. machine1-backup 2. machine2-backup #1 zvol will be attached to "machine1" Windows VM. #2 zbol will be attached to "machine2" Windows VM. I have successfully gotten #1 to work by: 1. Created a Portal (IP not specified; only 1 IP on FreeNAS server) 2. Created a...

I've progressed through the article on b3n.org about setting up FreeNAS as a VM. Ive given it 2 dedicated cores and 16 GB of dedicated RAM. I followed all the recommendations as best I could. I have the following setup: supermicro x10 srh-clnf4 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 (12 core w...

Am I insane for thinking this might be a good idea? I am currently using a VHD encrypted with BitLocker but I am considering moving this to the network. Would iSCSI provide better performance vs SMB? How about snapshots? I haven't tested anything so I was more just throwing it out there. The...

I've just started to experiment with iSCSI and am looking at creating one or more iSCSI-only pools, each with a single ZVOL device extent. After reading these forums, I have some admittedly noob-ish questions: 1) With regards to the "50% rule" is it okay to create a single ZVOL that uses the...

In my sdetup, I'm using dual-port Chelsio 10G cards throughout my home lab (Chelsio T420-CR and a few T420-LL-CR's, the low latency version, specifically). FreeNAS 9.10.2U3 - soon to be 11RC - is on its own physical server and shares datasets and zvols on Samba and iSCSI respectively. The main...

Good afternoon everyone, I will start with a big thanks to all in this forum as reading it has been greatly helpful as I am quite new to FreeNAS. To start I would like to describe my setup slightly... I have a FreeNAS system directly connected to 3 cluster nodes and 1 backup server. The direct...

Hello everybody, I recently downgraded from Corral to 9.10 (I did a reinstallation). I had an iSCSI share on Corral which I connected to Virt-Manager. I tried to set it up again but at some point I must have failed. When I use iscsiadm, I could find FreeNAS with the port but when I try to...

I updated a few weeks ago to 9.10.2-U2, and without chnaging any settings, my two iscsi volumes in ESX went into a Normal, Degraded state: I've tried to disable and re-enable iscsi, delete everything and start over, but whatever I do, I can't get the disks to show back up as datastores...

I found a bug - not sure where to report so adding here: When I try to add an extent, I get an error: Zvol "xxxx" does not exist, even though it definitely exists - see screenshot. The zvol was created by cloning a snapshot of another zvol. I destroyed and recreated the clone several times...

Hello all! I've for some time now had a 10TB zvol served as an RDM via a Qlogic QLE2462 FC card to a VM running on an ESXi 6.0u2 host. FreeNAS Server Specs: SuperMicro X7DWE board 2x Intel Xeon E5335 4x4GB FBDIMM DDR2 2xIBM M1015 SAS/SATA cards 6x 3TB 7200rpm white label disks The ESXi host is...

Hi! Does anyone know how to use CLI to manage iSCSI disk on FreeNAS because I want to write a script to take snapshot and clone snapshot and also map and unmap disk to backup server. Thank you.

Hi I am trying to use FreeNAS 9.10 in ESXi 5.5 environment. To check the FreeNAS performance I installed on the same ESXi host 3 virtual machines: WIndows server (for tests), and 2 servers as iSCSI targets - Windows 2016 storage server and FreeNAS 9.10. I configured iSCSI targets on 2016 storage...

I have an iSCSI device I want shared twice (one with "read only" enabled in the extent and one with it disabled). How do I do it? The GUI isn't letting me select the same device in 2 targets or 2 extents. (As this isn't such a usual setup, two RW initiators would be expected to cause data...

Not sure what's going on. I have a mirrored pool, and created a 3TB zvol on it as an iSCSI target. But when I connected to it from Windows 8.1 (as a test), it was exposed in Windows iSCSI Initiator control panel and in disk management console, as 2 separate 3TB disks - presumably somehow...

hi, i'm using FreeNAS exclusively for iSCSI and this "space threshold" things keeps spinning in my head. just to be entirely sure: the target global "Pool Available Space Threshold (%)" and extent "Available Space Threshold (%)" configurations are referring to the...

hi, i've read http://www.freenas.org/hardware-requirements/ and http://www.freenas.org/blog/a-complete-guide-to-freenas-hardware-design-part-i-purpose-and-best-practices/ still i have a question: does "1GB per TB of storage" apply to combined physical disk size or to available pool size after...

Hello FreeNAS forums; it's been some time since I've had to post here. I guess in most cases that would be a good thing, lol. So I'm having an issue with regards to my FreeNAS SSD storage zpool that is being sent over iSCSI to my ESXi 6.5 hosts. I have a zPool of three 256gig SSDs that are...

Hi Guys, I believe i`ve chosen the right section of the forum to ask for your professional opinion. If not than please guide me. Well here is the deal: I`ve 2 x VMware Hypervisors connected via iSCSi MPIO to 2 x Freenas boxes using 2 x 1Gbps cards with MTU 9000 on both sides. I`ve carefully...

Moin, moin, ich verwende FreeNAS zum ersten mal und habe mir Testweise die 10er BETA gezogen. Anschließend hab ich das ganze in einer VM installiert und einfach mal 4 2GB Platten konfiguriert (einfach um ein Gefühl zu bekommen). Das aktuellste Update ist installiert (21.02.2017) Also, bisher...

Hi, I'm using FreeNAS-9.10.2-U1 for iSCSI targets on several boxes. I'm configuring various initiators and various targets using these initiators. This works fine as long as i use the same "Authorized Access Group" for all targets. As soon as is try to use another "Authorized Access" group...

Hi all, I've been breaking my head on this case, researching heavily for a good 40+ hours. I finally decided to reach out for help. TL;DR; Getting 60-100MB/s read over iSCSI dual direct wired Intel 10GBE, when we're expecting 500+MB/s read performance. I inherited this [unique?] case on a...

Hi guys I got a short problem concerning the sharing. I got two users in freeNAS: User1 (Server) - He got an ISCSI Access to his own drive (Drive3) User2(Client) - He got a CIFS Access to his own drive(drive2) My problem: I can now connect the drive3 via ISCSI in my client. But the problem is...

Hola a todos. Voy a utilizar FreeNAS y no se muy bien si utilizar iSCSI o SMB. Mayormente voy a utilizarlo como almacén de datos. Creo que utilizando iSCSI tendría algunas ventajas, pero tampoco se muy bien cuáles. El FreeNAS o mejor dicho los FreeNAS (porque voy a tener dos) quiero que sean...
