I set up a dedicated server myself and freenas is running on it. But I cannot use the Fc feature with the core version. How can I get around this?

I can understand merging the products if they are mostly the same but if they are remaining separately branded as TrueNAS core and TrueNAS enterprise then why couldn’t they stay branded as FreeNAS and TrueNAS?

Hello,
It looks like FreeNAS and TrueNAS is not detecting PCIe drives. The following was tested in our lab at Supermicro.
FreeNAS-11.3-U4
TrueNAS-12.0-MASTER-202006220424
TrueNAS-12.1-MASTER-202007280438
TrueNAS-12.0-BETA2 2020/08/11
SATA was detected by all but not PCIe.
FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64 does detect PCIe NVMe.

Don’t suppose 12.0 will come with Prometheus exporters, or an easy way to add them, will it? As is I have to do some janky work around using init scripts, to symlink the exporter and rc.d service to get them to work. Would be nice if options for prometheus exporters were included.

I’m hoping that TrueNAS Core 12.0 will continue to offer key features available in FreeNAS 11.3 without licensing. We are about to roll out a FreeNAS solution as a backup/DR for our production storage server and it would be disappointing if we relied on features that ended up requiring licensing. I’ve been using FreeNAS for years to support educational/research computing where less money spent on licenses means more money spent on education/science.

Could you ADD hyperconverged storage features also. This is great platfrom and only thing I miss is hyperconvergation. TrueNAS clusters easy – future HA.

By: Markus Niederöst

Markus Niederöst — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 20:27:34 +0000

I just started to love FreeNAS with plugins like GitLab and NextCloud. The cornerstone has just laid with reconfiguration of my hardware and the installation of FreeNAS. It’s been a lot of work and I don’t want to evaluate any other NAS software in the near future. I look forward to continuing with TrueNAS CORE. I fully support your decision to merge those two products/brands into a single one that uses an open source or community part as foundation for the enterprise grade product. Go on!

It would be great if version 12.0 would put a focus on accessibility (e.g. WCAG 2.1), to include more users and to meet the legal requirements of many legislatives.

Now, will be possible buy TrueNAS Enterprise software without hardware? Due TrueNAS hardware is not available in my country, I would like to acquire the TrueNAS Enterprise Lic software and usge with my self hardware, but with enterprise features and support.
Now is it possible? How can we proceed with this?!

By: Carlos

Carlos — Sat, 14 Mar 2020 23:21:32 +0000

Is it possible now usage TrueNas (software) using enterprise license, without needed buy the hardware? Due in Brazil does not have TrueNas distributor, if could possible buy software, I would like to kno how to proceed.

Remember to snapshot and archive the “TrueNAS CORE: always open, always Free NAS” promise and keep an eye on the free vs enterprise feature matrix as time goes on. Removing the word Free from the name, makes it more convenient to have a slow feature creep towards the enterprise edition later on.

Please at least make the HA feature available to the old FreeNAS users. We want to build HA with shared SAS topologies. It’s pretty standard those days.
Swap on Flash, Fibre Channel and the vSphere Plugin would be awesome too, but I would be happy with the proper scripts for HA and the support on the web interface.
Don’t make this release just a “rename”.
