Hi.
I have installed TrueNAS 12.0-U6 and have had it working for several weeks on a Supermicro server. The server has 4 Intel integrated NIC cards in it. Last Friday, I got the bright idea that I would separate the NIC interfaces to a setup like this:
igb0 Mgmt VLAN 10 on the 192.168.10.x/25 subnet
ibg1 unused
ibg2-3 as a LAG group using LACP for aggregation on VLAN 20 to talk to the other servers and accept general storage traffic on the 192.168.20.x/25 subnet.
I thought that seemed reasonable and simple to do. TrueNAS is confirmed to be working with the NIC cards and can communicate on all of them and get either static or DHCP addressing, depending on what I tried.
The problem occurs when I try to make any changes through the GUI. I lose comms to the box and cannot regain control of it to fix it. Sometimes, if I make a small change, I can get it to revert changes and recover. On other instances, I have completely reinstalled to get back to a known working starting point.
For some reason when I plug a KVM into the server, I cannot get the serial interface on the screen, even if I enable it in the GUI before hand. The only way I can get to the text configuration screen is through SSH, which is fine, until I screw around with a network interface which causes the networking to reset and networking restarts and leaves me stranded without a way to talk to the box -- reinstall, reboot, something has to happen to get back in.
So, as of now, I can statically set a DHCP reservation for the VLAN 10 interface, but I cannot figure out how to make it "VLAN aware". It seems that this should be a tick box or something in the port config screen in the GUI. If I try to "add a VLAN interface" as in the documentation, then it complains that I am trying to put it on the already assigned subnet.
I can configure the LACP port aggregation in the switch and get that side working, but as soon as I try to turn it on in TrueNAS, I am locked out again, even though I should still be able to get in on igb0 mgmt VLAN 10.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this better? I have spent all weekend monkeying around with this and I am out of ideas as to what to try next.
