Adding a License Setting Up Proactive Support Adding a License For users with a valid TrueNAS license, click Add License. Copy your license into the box and click Save.
You are prompted to reload the page for the license to take effect, click RELOAD NOW. Log back into the WebUI where the End User License Agreement (EULA) displays. Read it thoroughly and completely. After you finish, click I AGREE. The system information updates to reflect the licensing specifics for the system.
Moving an HA system from CORE to SCALE TrueNAS Enterprise High Availability (HA) systems cannot migrate directly from CORE to SCALE.
Enterprise customers with HA systems should contact iXsystems Support before attempting any migration.
iXsystems Support expand Customers who purchase iXsystems hardware or that want additional support must have a support contract to use iXsystems Support Services. The TrueNAS Community forums provides free support for users without an iXsystems Support contract.

Sharing Data Methods Creating a Share Dataset Setting up SMB Shares for Windows Setting up NFS for Unix-Like Shares Setting up an iSCSI Block Share After setting up storage on your TrueNAS, it is time to begin sharing data! There are several sharing solutions available on SCALE, but in this article we discuss the most common.
Sharing Data Methods TrueNAS SCALE provides four types of sharing methods, but this article only discusses three:
Backing Up TrueNAS Storage Data Using Cloud Sync for Data Backup Using Replication for Data Backup Backing Up the System Configuration Downloading the Initial System Debug File Create a Boot Environment After configuring your TrueNAS storage and data sharing or any other function, service, or application, it is time to ensure effective back up of your data.
You should also:
Download and save your system configuration file to protect your system configuration information.
Clustering Options TrueNAS SCALE has the unique ability to cluster groups of systems together. These clusters can then create new volumes within the existing SCALE storage pools. Data stored in a clustered volume is shared between the clustered systems and can add additional redundancy or performance to the environment.
Clustering is considered experimental and should not be used in a production environment or for handling critical data! Clustering Options TrueNAS SCALE provides a few options for setting up system clustering:
Before You Begin Network Configuration VLAN Configuration (Optional) Storage Configuration Shares Configuration Directory Services Configuration Virtualization Configuration Application Configuration Configuring TrueNAS SCALE to work with virtualized features, such as virtual machines (VMs) and applications, is a part of the setup process that when optimized takes advantage of the network storage capabilities that SCALE offers.
Before You Begin This article assumes that you have the latest release version of TrueNAS SCALE installed on your system.
