Hi, Would you please share the best practice how to achieve power outage protected system for the following landscape: 1) I have 3 hardware units - FreeNAS 9.10.1 box, VMWare ESXi 6.x box and APC UPS with AP9630 network card 2) All VMWare VMs are located on FreeNAS via iSCSI 3) VMWare has...

I am re configuring one of our SuperMicro boxes, which connects via 4x 1gbE to ESXi 6.0u2. We had a slow/crappy SSD SLOG for an 8 disk raid10, and decided to replace it as well as add in 2 Intel 750 PCIe NVMe cards. They do have their own full 8x PCIe channel, even though they only require 4x...

Hello! I am Gabriel, new to this forum, and kind of new to FreeNAS. First of all, thanks for all your effort. I have been using FreeNAS for two months, and the experience have been very positive so far ;). I want to ask you guys to help me understand how to determine bottlenecks when using...

Our goal: to make a SAN able to provide storage, at, on average, the speed of a single 7.2K disk, for up to 120 VMs Exception: some VMs on this system will use a bit more, but I believe the above is a good starting point for what we're trying to accomplish Plot: we're building a three node...

Currently, I have a 480GB mirror of SSDs shared over iSCSI to FreeNAS. It works well but man oh man do VMs eat up space like it is going out of style. My question is this: I have 2 spare 4TB spinning disks, 2 480GB SSDs and 2 80GB SSDs that I can, without too much fuss, free up to make...

My Google-Fu may be failing me here so feel free to take exception to this stupidity and point me in the right direction of an existing thread or bug listing :p Assuming that isn't the case however here goes... When attempting to delete any iSCSI extent I receive the following error at the...

Hi everyone, I've wanted to see how well FreeNAS would perform in back to back tests on physical vs. virtual hosts on the same hardware for a while now and finally have all the parts together to do some initial testing. My vision is to have a single box that can do it all for my homelab and...

I first noticed this problem after upgrading to 9.10 from 9.3. I have several iSCSI targets mounted on a Windows 7 PC. After the PC has been asleep for several hours and is woken up, all of the iSCSI targets show as Connected in Windows iSCSI Initiator Properties, but all of the disks appear...

Here is a short description of my problem. I have a working environment with 2 xenserver 7.0, 2 tp-link 1GB switches, 1 freenas and a qnap. I want to get rid of my qnap ang go for 10GB in 2 Freenas. I bought new intel 10 GB NIC ( X540T2) . I added the new NIC:s in xenserver, connected them to my...

Hello, I plan to build new system for Xenserver7 virtualization (iscsi) hosts to accommodate for at least 10 ~20 host, and 7~10 guest each , each guest would run win2k12 r2 or win2k8 r2 with mostly Java agents , and some of the video converting from high res to low res agent but the video...

Hello, I would like to create Xen platform iSCSI based, using FreeNAS as storage with 3 10g interfaces assigned to each LUN. The issue is if can't assign for the 3 10g interfaces same IP, I must do routable iSCSI network , and from reading little bit on it, it's not the most recommended to...

I have a problem with a new server setup, I am using Debian Jessie on my client and Freenas 9.10.1 . I have set it up as I used to do on another setup I have (Debian Wheezy + Freenas 8...) But it can get this stable. If I make directories and smaller files in the iscsi share it is working...

Hello All, I have a new storage build with following spec below , The storage serve as cifs nas and iscsi for XEN 3 hosts hypervisors. The pool is built with 2x8 Disks per each vdev , each vdev is Raid-Z2 Pool where divided to 3 zvol's 4TB each for iscsi Xen network , and one Dataset of 18TB...

So, I seem to be missing something. I run several pools in a variety of configurations in various locations no problem... Except when using snapshots on iSCSI targets. I have yet to figure out why but the snapshot command always returns an "out of space" value despite their being plenty of space...

Hi there, i am sitting on this one for days now and haven't found any solution to the problem yet. I've setup FreeNAS 9.10.1 to be an iSCSI-Target and the extent is recognized well by Xenserver 7. However, as soon as i want to establish a connection via XenCenter to install a VM on the Target...
