Fibre Channel Screens

TrueNAS Enterprise
Fibre Channel is a TrueNAS Enterprise feature. Only TrueNAS systems licensed for Fibre Channel show iSCSI Fibre Channel screens and settings found by going to Sharing > Block Shares (iSCSI).

Enterprise systems with fibre channel hardware can access fibre channel settings and screens through various iSCSI wizard and share screens.

iSCSI Wizard Screens - Fibre Channel.

The Block (iSCSI) Shares Targets widget shows iSCSI shares configured for fibre channels. The Wizard button on the header opens the Wizard iSCSI wizard on the Target screen. See Target Screens - Fibre Channel below.

WebShare

WebShare provides web-based file access to authorized users through a browser interface. Unlike SMB or NFS shares that require mounting on client systems, WebShare allows users to browse, upload, download, and search files directly from a web browser.

WebShare requires TrueNAS Connect to be configured and active.

Migrating AFP Shares

When creating a share, do not attempt to set up the root or pool-level dataset for the share. Instead, create a new dataset under the pool-level dataset for the share. Setting up a share using the root dataset leads to storage configuration issues.

Since the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) for shares is deprecated and no longer receives updates, it is not present in TrueNAS.

Each card header shows the status of the share service as Running or Stopped. Click the card header to open the full screen for that share type. The Object Storage (S3) Buckets and WebShare cards also show an Experimental label.
