as soon as i save the file with the serials in it (cntl+x / Y for overwrite) i loose my disks in my truenas container! what am i doing wrong? btw im using NVME drives

adding sirial numbers saved me from an issue i had been dealing with for weeks lol. Thanks!

Thanks for the great video and easy to follow!. I just did it on my side with TrueNAS scale and worked like a charm!

One of the most usable videos I have seen in the last year. Thanks for helping out!

Thank you so much for these instructions. The very best in regards to setting up a raid disk on Proxmox TrueNas VM. Exactly what I needed to get going on our new server. It worked for me even while using TrueNas Scale. God bless you for your time in making this video!

This video helped me gain confidence that the article achieved what I wanted! You're a legend!

Love your page between you and Network Chuck , I am well rounded , love how you simplified this.

Thanks for the video my man. I was digging through the wiki, but figured I'd give the youtube search a shot!

Dude thank you so much for this, your videos lands so perfect for timing as I plug away at tweaking my homelab. Just swapped my Perc6i with an HB200 in IT mode so I can finally start my server config but I’ve been bottled necked at getting the drives set up properly for TruNAS to see them. Im only about halfway through the video but skimming through I think your method will work. Love Low-Res but his way of doing it didn’t seem to work for me. And it’s weird because we have the same hardware he’s just doing it with SSDs where as I’m using SAS drives

Yeah I did this for a while. I just put TrueNas "scale" stright on the machine now. couldn't be happier! cool video though!

This was a really cool video! I was going to do this myself, but since I was working with an 4790, doing VMs on such an old CPU didn't seem logical and I needed storage more, so I did bare metal install instead.

Thanks a lot for your video. Your clear step-by-step explanations allowed me to add a passthroughhard drive to my TrueNAS VM , which is on Proxmox........ Thanks a Bunch !!! -dan

Thanks for sharing this. Super helpful for my nas build. Passing through a controller card as well but I want to use the ports on my motherboard which I can’t pass through via iommu 😊

Awesome video! Thanks for the step-by-step. Very easy to follow and best of all it worked.

Such a great and straight forward video. Thanks for the tutorial!

ckear and straight forward explanation. Nicely done!

Extremely useful and concise guide. Hugely appreciated.

This video helped alot! Now my TrueNAS can read my hard drives :).

Great tutorial, I follow this and got the drives passed through to Truenas Scale OK Only one word of warning, when using this method and trying to backup the VM with the Proxmox backup tools, the backup will include the Truanas VM AND all the data on the ZFS drives too. No problem if it's a small array, but I doubt many want a 7TB backup mixed in with their standard VM backup process!!! If you pass through a PCIe controller, or the complete Motherboard SATA controller (not available as a boot drive in that case), then the Proxmox will only backup the VM and you can arrange the data backup as required.

Can't you just exclude the drives from the backup?

@@Jasper_S - No you can't. Once the drives are passed though, using that method, they are treated as a part of the VM. Edit to add: I stand corrected, I just checked and the drives can be excluded from the backup in the 'Hardware' Drive details. I have learned something new today.

I watched this video awhile back and found it interesting. I came back to follow-up and thank you for making this video - I have 16 x 2.5" SATA SSDs connected via a 16i HBA. My plan was to pass through the entire HBA, but I could not get the VM to boot to TrueNAS - the HBA kept throwing Firmware Errors. So I painstakingly used this method and copied each ID + serial, and it worked immediately.

@Streetzlegend

4 ай бұрын

I was having this same issue when trying to passthrough the HBA of my server, it turns out its related to the IOMMU groups, it appears that when you pass through a device, the entire group is included and since in my case the drive used for Proxmox was part of the same group as the SATA controller for the NAS drives, then it would crash Proxmox. This solution seems to be the best next option, OR adding an separate controller and hope that it ends up in a different IOMMU group.

@@Streetzlegendmy 16i HBA ONLY holds the raw storage drives - the OS and assorted other drives I use for VMs or other storage run off the SAS -> SATA breakouts on the board. In either case I got it working so on to the next problem! =)

Great Video I have struggled with USB passthrough. I have it working but not like that I am going to go this route and see if it is better.

I did it, but it took me a day to realize its shortcomings. TrueNAS doesn't have full access to the disks, resulting in checksum errors, and it also prevents me from monitoring the disk temperatures. According to my research, the ideal solution is to acquire an HBA card and apply PCI passthrough to the virtual machine. I've ordered such a card and intend to experiment with this method.

Thank you. That was helpful as I was unable to locate my drive in Truenas.

Interesting way of doing it, I just finished moving my truenas over to a new proxmox instance, I used a separate 4 Port Asmedia sata pciE setup and just setup iommu... 2 8TB drives and a 1TB cache drive... Mirrored on a Z620. This does help though, I could directly pull the drives instead of running them through a controller.

Hello Tech, do you know a way to activate the turbo boost of the cpu inside truenas scale v22.12.2 and passing thru to a windows 10 vm machine ? I am running a epyc 7d12 on a supermicro h11 ssl-i,,, the cpu is running on the base clock of 1.1ghz full time, seems a little slow... even when i run cinebench or cpu-z

Great video was looking for something like this and boom u made this amazing video.

one thing that tripped me up momentarily - I had my TrueNAS VM running while I was passing through the disks. After passing through the disks in proxmox I did a "reboot" of the TrueNAS VM and it recognized the drives but not the serial numbers so when I tried to create a pool it told me the disks had non unique serial numbers (presumably because they were all null). I found a forum post that said you had to do a full power cycle, not a reboot. Sure enough, that solved it.

all my drives says unknown, how do i make it so i can see what drives is what in truenas, as i had both hdds and nvmes with the same amount of data i cant makeout what is what in truenas when making my pool

how to set this up in a way that the 3 drives can be used by other vms as well? Maybe setting up the raid in proxmox and passing throu the pool it self?

Great straight forward video, Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial, it's clear and easy to follow for students

I know it’s hardware dependent, but I install proxmox on nvme drive and I just pass my SATA controller though and works the same but with fewer steps.

Just wondering, what is the recommened approach between (a) creating a RAID-5 set via the BIOS controller and pass that thru to the VM vs (b) pass-thru raw disks and then create a RAIDZ within TrueNAS?

Can I dual boot with TrueNas scale on baremetal and Proxmox on an separate ssd?

How can I add the drive serial numbers after the TrueNas VM is running?

Thank you! The proxmox wiki docs leave a lot to be desired. (what is "592'? Why use -scsi2, etc.)

Awesome video! I don't know where I went wrong, but only 3 out of 4 of my drives showed up as unassigned disks in Trunas. I can't figure out where I went wrong. All 4 of them are showing up as attached hardware under my Trunas VM. Any ideas?

So this is being passed through via the sata ports on the motherboard?

Will truenas be able to read the temperature and smart values of the disks passed though?

This tutorial is perfect, thanks Bro.

Sweet! Are you able to use thst pool which you created in TrueNas back in the Proxmox utilizing RAID? I sume you could, but How about when TrueNas is not running? Are there any disadvatgaes with this sort of approach you can think of? Why not to rather have TrueNas as a main OS and use virtualization There?

WHy use truenas to create zfs when you can create zfs directly from proxmox? What's the advantage?

First I must say exactly video and thank you for all your hard work, but I have a question I have truenas scale installed in proxmox and I would like to share my pool or smb share with all my media files to my Plex container in proxmox is this possible, If so could you point me in the right direction please..?

I got unable to locate package lshw. How fix?

1:05 What software does this GUI beling to?

Is mapping by virtio2 slower then mapping with scsi ?

I dont know if I did it properly but I ended making a ZFS with the hdds and TrueNas saw it as one disk

Not sure why you’re doing the edit with the serial numbers? Just ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ and copy each drive string into your qm set command

I have two questions about a system failure: 1. What if the system running Proxmox was corrupted (due to any reason) and your TrueNas VM was lost. How would you recover the data that was being stored on the TrueNAS virtual machine? 2. What if one of the drives fails. Do you just add a new drive into the proxmox virtual machine and then boot proxmox and recreate pooL?

Honest question, why? I work in production environments and this doesn't make sense to me. Is this a home thing? what am I missing? As I understand one wont be able to migrate the vm to another box in the cluster, and if for some reason the prox host goes down so do any applications/servers that depend on the mapped file server.
