Fiber Chanel SAN connection (storage) on Truenas

[rafaelkkksalgado]

Good Morning!
Dear,
I could see the freenas on the brocade switch. I created the Alias, the zone and the zone configuration. But I don't know how to see this inside truenas. Could someone please give me a light?

truenas version:
-Truenas Core

-Current Train: TrueNAS-12.0-STABLE

This is the switch \/

FC target support in FreeNAS 9.1.0

FreeNAS doesn't have FC target support by default, but you can make it work if you want to do some hacking and you don't care that you can't manage it from the GUI. 1. gunzip then copy the attached ko to your FreeNAS box. Put it in /boot/modules. (The attached ko is 64 bit only) 2. Run...

Totally unsupported in the community version(s). TrueNAS Enterprise supports it properly.

There's also a newer resource targeting FN11.1-U4 but nothing on TrueNAS yet.

Fibre Channel on FreeNAS 11.1u4

There are a few cobbled guides for setting up fibre channel LUNs from version 9.x. I have tested a few things and found one shortcoming on the guides. they leave your LUNs exposed via iSCSI as well as fiber channel. Here I will provide a method...

www.truenas.com

This guide walks you through an "FC only" setup, including making the LUNs inaccessible via iSCSI.

Bear in mind that the ctl target does not support LUN masking - all zoned initiators will see all LUNs. If you want to separate access you'll need to have NPIV support and create additional ports using the isp tunables hint.isp.N.vports - the scope of this is beyond the resource guide, and best left as an exercise for the end-user.
