An initiator negotiates with a target to establish connectivity to a LUN. To take advantage of the VAAI primitives, create a zvol using the instructions in Adding Zvols and use it to create a device extent, as described in Extents.

Some built-in values affect iSNS usage. This avoids initiators attempting to discover unconfigured target portal addresses like 0. The iSNS registration period is seconds. Registered Network Entities not updated during this period are unregistered. The timeout for iSNS requests is 5 seconds. MPIO is more efficient than a link aggregation.

For example, consider a system with four interfaces configured with these addresses:. In this scenario, the iSCSI service would listen on all four interfaces, but connections to target A would be limited to the first two networks and connections to target B would be limited to the last two networks.

Another scenario would be to create a portal which includes every IP address except for the one used by a management interface. This would prevent iSCSI connections to the management interface. Group 1 allows connections from any initiator on any network. Group 2 allows connections from any initiator on the Confirming the delete causes these to be deleted also. The screen is shown in Figure This screen sets login authentication.

This is different from discovery authentication which is set in Global Configuration. Click an authorized access entry to display its Edit and Delete buttons. A target combines a portal ID, allowed initiator ID, and an authentication method.

An iSCSI target creates a block device that may be accessible to multiple initiators. Extents are used to define resources to share with clients.

There are two types of extents: device and file. For typical use as storage for virtual machines where the virtualization software is the iSCSI initiator, device extents with zvols provide the best performance and most features.

For other applications, device extents sharing a raw device can be appropriate. File extents do not have the performance or features of device extents, but do allow creating multiple extents on a single filesystem. The threshold warnings primitive is fully supported by zvols and partially supported by file extents. Virtualizing a raw device like a single disk or hardware RAID volume limits performance to the abilities of the device.

Because this bypasses ZFS, such devices do not benefit from ZFS caching or provide features like block checksums or snapshots. Virtualizing a zvol adds the benefits of ZFS, such as read and write cache. Even if the client formats a device extent with a different filesystem, the data still resides on a ZFS pool and benefits from ZFS features like block checksums and snapshots. The capacity of an existing extent can be increased as shown in Growing LUNs. Note that file extent creation fails unless the name of the file to be created is appended to the pool or dataset name.

Use the drop-down menus to select the existing target and extent. Always associating extents to targets in a one-to-one manner is recommended, even though the web interface will allow multiple extents to be associated with the same target. A verification popup appears when the Delete button is clicked.

If an initiator has an active connection to the LUN, it is indicated in red text. Clearing the initiator connections to a LUN before deleting it is recommended.

A detailed how-to for this client can be found here. A client for Windows , XP, and can be found here. Use a web search to see if a package exists for the distribution should the command not exist on the Linux system. Note that the requirements for booting vSphere 4.

If a different port has been selected, outgoing connections to that port must be manually added to the firewall before those connections will work. If the target can be seen but does not connect, check the Discovery Auth settings in Target Global Configuration. Both methods are described in this section. Enlarging a LUN with one of the methods below gives it more unallocated space, but does not automatically resize filesystems or other data on the LUN.

This is the same as binary-copying a smaller disk onto a larger one. More space is available on the new disk, but the partitions and filesystems on it must be expanded to use this new space. Resizing virtual disk images is usually done from virtual machine management software. Application software to resize filesystems is dependent on the type of filesystem and client, but is often run from within the virtual machine.

The LUN is expanded and the partition table edited to add the new space to the last partition. The Windows disk manager must still be used to resize the NTFS filesystem on that last partition to use the new space.

The web interface does not allow reducing the size of the zvol, as doing so could result in loss of data. Ensure the Extent Type is set to file and enter the Path to the extent. Open the Shell to grow the file extent. Set the size to 0 as this causes the iSCSI target to use the new size of the file.

The process for creating an authenticated share for a user is the same as creating a Time Machine share for that user. Create Time Machine or authenticated shares on a new dataset. When creating multiple authenticated or Time Machine shares, repeat this process for each user. Time Machine waits two minutes before creating a full backup. It then creates ongoing hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly backups. The oldest backups are deleted when a Time Machine share fills up, so make sure that the quota size is large enough to hold the desired number of backups.

Note that a default installation of macOS is over 20 GiB. Time Machine quotas use the fruit:time machine max size parameter. In this example, the Time Machine share is restricted to GiB. The example might not reflect the exact process to configure Time Machine on a specific version of macOS. See the Apple documentation for detailed Time Machine configuration instructions. Highlight the share and click Use Backup Disk.

If Time Machine could not complete the backup. If Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you. Introduction 2.

Docs » Note Shares are created to provide and control access to an area of storage. Note It is generally a mistake to share a pool or dataset with more than one share type or access method. Note Table Note When a guest share is created along with a share that requires authentication, AFP only maps users who log in as guest to the guest share.

A better option is to do this: Specify the built-in nobody account to be used for NFS access. In the Change Permissions screen of the pool or dataset that is being shared, change the owner and group to nobody and set the permissions according to the desired requirements.

Note If this command fails on a Linux system, make sure that the nfs-utils package is installed. Warning At this time, only the webdav user is supported. Warning SMB1 is disabled by default for security. Warning Be careful when using multiple SMB shares, some with and some without fruit. Note If a dataset for the share has not been created, refer to Adding Datasets to find out more about dataset creation. Refer to Users for more information about creating a user. After the user has been created, use the drop-down to select the user account.

Group: Use the drop-down to select the desired group name. Refer to Groups for more information about creating a group. Click SAVE. The dataset and share must be specially configured to allow this feature: Create the authenticated share with domain admins set as the user and group name in Ownership. If no previous versions of files to restore are visible, use Windows Update to ensure the system is fully up-to-date.

Shadow copy support only works for ZFS pools or datasets. This means that the SMB share must be configured on a pool or dataset, not on a directory. Datasets are filesystems and shadow copies cannot traverse filesystems. To see the shadow copies in the child datasets, create separate shares for them. Shadow copies will not work with a manual snapshot. Creating a periodic snapshot task for the pool or dataset being shared by SMB or a recursive task for a parent dataset is recommended.

Should be the former Hi, Are you referring too when i map the network drive or when i prompted for login credentials after trying to look up a user name in the permissions tab? When you map the drive. Is the credentials of the freeNAS as in the root login?

Is it resolvable? It doesn't look like it is resolvable, please see attached the results of the lookup. If so, might want to try scrapping the share and maybe even dataset and then re-creating it from scratch for the experience.

Hi, Yes that is correct i am just testing this on my laptop for now because i want to make sure i've got it right before i test it on my actual server. I factory defaulted the freenas VM yesterday and started from scratch with no luck still. Spearfoot He of the long foot Moderator. Joined May 13, Messages 2, I don't believe you will find 'Simon' in the Windows 7 local user space unless you create an account by that name in Windows. Your mileage may vary Also, did you know one of the accounts is spelled with an extra 'm'?

Hi, Mirfster Thanks for the instructions i will try them with another build from scratch tonight. Spearfoot Thanks for the info, i have the same user credentials on my local machine but still no luck, and how does that work if i am trying to search for a group that i have made in freeNAS that i would like to be the owner or have permissions?

I am always prompted for user credentials at this step? In all the instructional videos and notes I've read this step is never mentioned and sounds like it shouldn't be there? I am not even sure which credentials to enter? I have tried multiple, the obvious one being the FreeNAS login credentials but still no luck. I also noticed when adding or editing user information it always inserts "root" into the email field and a pw too, for me to make any changes i have to remove "root" from the email field and type my pw in, i have not seen this behavior in tutorial videos?

Out of curiosity, what version of Windows 7 Home, Pro, Enterprise? Wondering if there is something janky with the "less enabled" versions? Windows 7 Pro.

Note If the installer does not boot, verify that the installation device is listed first in the boot order in the BIOS. Unless the Release Notes for the new major release indicate that the current version requires an ISO upgrade, either upgrade method can be used. Minor releases have been replaced with signed updates. This means that it is not necessary to wait for a minor release to update the system with a system update or newer versions of drivers and features.

It is also no longer necessary to manually download an upgrade file and its associated checksum to update the system. The updater automatically creates a boot environment, making updates a low-risk operation. Boot environments provide the option to return to the previous version of the operating system by rebooting the system and selecting the previous boot environment from the boot menu.

Unless a new feature flag is needed, it is safe to leave the pool at the current version and uncheck the alert. If the pool is upgraded, it will not be possible to boot into a previous version that does not support the newer feature flags. If upgrading from 9. The system has no way to import configuration settings from 0.

The configuration must be manually recreated. Upgrades on bit hardware are not supported. Any archived reporting graphs will be lost during the upgrade. UFS is not supported. With only one disk, back up its data to another system or media before the upgrade, format the disk as ZFS after the upgrade, then restore the backup. Instead, back up the data before the upgrade, create a ZFS pool after the upgrade, then restore the data from the backup.

If any pools are encrypted, remember to set a passphrase and download a copy of the encryption key and the latest recovery key. After the upgrade is complete, use the instructions in Importing a Pool to import the encrypted pools. Stop all services in Services. Warning All drives are shown, including boot drives and storage drives. Reboot the system and watch for the boot menu: Fig. Note It is not possible to restore a saved configuration that is newer than the installed version.

Before upgrading an existing ZFS pool, be aware of these caveats first: the pool upgrade is a one-way street, meaning that if you change your mind you cannot go back to an earlier ZFS version or downgrade to an earlier version of the software that does not support those ZFS features.
