Hi all. I'm trying to create a cluster and I'm getting different errors every time :(
What I have:
  • TrueCommand latest version as docker container in Debian
  • Windows Server 2019 with AD
  • Three identical nodes with TrueNAS SCALE 22.12.2
Debian have dynamic IP

Windows Server 192.168.2.10

TrueNAS 1:
eth0 192.168.1.184/24 (static)
eth1 192.168.2.101/24 (static)

TrueNAS 2:
eth0 192.168.1.185/24 (static)
eth1 192.168.2.102/24 (static)

TrueNAS 3:
eth0 192.168.1.186/24 (static)
eth1 192.168.2.103/24 (static)

First stage of creating a cluster sometimes succeeds (namely, "sometimes", often you have to restore nodes with TrueNAS from a backup to initial state and repeat procedure).

In second stage ("Configure Cluster"), literally mystical (and each time different) things happen. I have already counted over 10 different errors. And I do exactly same actions: I restore nodes with TrueNAS from a backup (which were done immediately after TrueNAS was installed), I try to create a cluster and I get an error. I redo everything from beginning. Another mistake. And a different one. And so on.

For example, "next" button is not active now (although all nodes are online).

And before that, it showed an error when trying to select a network interface.

Moreover, an error when choosing an interface happens most often, only text is different.

Sometimes they even managed to reach last, 4th stage ("Confirmation"), but only mistakes were waiting there.

I figured out what was matter: I'm restored only servers with TrueNAS from backup to "initial state", and did not touch server with TrueCommand. When I "rolled back" it, cluster was created. Apparently container with TrueCommand stores some data in system and they can interfere with its normal operation.

So keep in mind that if you have problems with TrueCommand, then you need to clear it data.
