Cannot creat iSCSI target

[SiCwan]

Hello, I'm hiving an issue creating an iSCSI target, I'm following a guide and when it gets to the "add a iscsi target" part, I run in to an error, Use alphanumeric characters, ".", "-" and ":". After adding a name (in this case iSCSIData) and changing portal group ID, and initiator group ID to 1, then clicking "save" while the guy in the guide skips right on with just iscsitest. Thing is, even if I use those characters, it still gives me the error. not sure what I'm doing wrong

I'm running:
FreeNAS 11.2-stable
SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SDV-TLN4F-O
SoC Xeon D-1541 @ 2.1GHz
32GB EEC Registered
4*WD Red Pro WD6003FFBX 6TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s

What's the URL to the guide?

Did your target follow the rules in the error? If so, which exact version of 11.2 (from the Dashboard)?

here's the two that I looked at, one is on 11 UI and the others on the legacy UI

He tried to create it starting w/ a capital letter, but it didn't work and he stated "it needs to START with a lowercase letter"

This one names it iSCSI Target

I'm running
FreeNAS-11.2-RC2
(Build Date: Nov 15, 2018 20:21)


and yeah, i even tried "iqn.2005-10.org.freenas.ctl:2012Server"

side note, I just got it working, using just 2012server, apparently it doesn't like capital letters???

According to RFC7143:

- iSCSI names are composed only of printable ASCII and Unicode
characters. iSCSI names allow the use of international
character sets, but uppercase characters are prohibited. The
iSCSI stringprep profile [RFC3722] maps uppercase characters to
lowercase and SHOULD be used to prepare iSCSI names from input
that may include uppercase characters. No whitespace characters
are used in iSCSI names; see [RFC3722] for details.

I ran into the same issue - capital letters are not your friend.

Yeah, we made that clearer for the next update: https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/66048.
