TrueNAS - HDD passtrough

It is not recommended to passtrough disks by they sdax name becaus the operating system can change it. The safest approach is to passtrough the disks by their id. Use following command to list the id of each disk.

ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/

Find the links that matches each drive

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HTS721010A9E630_JR10006P0VSENF -> ../../sdd -> 1TB
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HTS721010A9E630_JR10006P0VSMXF -> ../../sdf-> 1TB
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000VN006-3CW104_WW610H5G -> ../../sde - 4TB
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000VN006-3CW104_WW610HZL -> ../../sdb - 4TB
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5000AZRX-00A8LB0_WD-WMC1U5239721 -> ../../sda - 500GB
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD7500BPVT-22HXZT1_WD-WX91A61Y1825 -> ../../sdc - 750GB

Add the disk to VM by executing the commands below in Proxmox host shell

sudo qm set 102 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HTS721010A9E630_JR10006P0VSENF
sudo qm set 102 -scsi2 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HTS721010A9E630_JR10006P0VSMXF
sudo qm set 102 -scsi3 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5000AZRX-00A8LB0_WD-WMC1U5239721
sudo qm set 102 -scsi4 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000VN006-3CW104_WW610H5G
sudo qm set 102 -scsi5 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000VN006-3CW104_WW610HZL

The outpot of each commands should be

update VM 102: -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HTS721010A9E630_JR10006P0VSENF
update VM 102: -scsi2 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HTS721010A9E630_JR10006P0VSMXF
update VM 102: -scsi3 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5000AZRX-00A8LB0_WD-WMC1U5239721
update VM 102: -scsi4 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000VN006-3CW104_WW610H5G
update VM 102: -scsi5 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000VN006-3CW104_WW610HZL

Check if each disk has been attached succesfully

sudo grep JR10006P0VSENF /etc/pve/qemu-server/102.conf
sudo grep JR10006P0VSMXF /etc/pve/qemu-server/102.conf
sudo grep WMC1U5239721 /etc/pve/qemu-server/102.conf
sudo grep 3CW104_WW610H5G /etc/pve/qemu-server/102.conf
sudo grep 3CW104_WW610HZL /etc/pve/qemu-server/102.conf

Output of each of the above command should be

scsi1: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HTS721010A9E630_JR10006P0VSENF,size=976762584K
scsi2: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HTS721010A9E630_JR10006P0VSMXF,size=976762584K
scsi3: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5000AZRX-00A8LB0_WD-WMC1U5239721,size=488386584K
scsi4: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000VN006-3CW104_WW610H5G,size=3907018584K
scsi5: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000VN006-3CW104_WW610HZL,size=3907018584K

Make sure to reboot the host server if the HDD's were previously managed by it otherwise you will not be able to add the new NFS shares from TrueNAS

TrueNAS - Setup

Follow the installation guide from here.

Once the installation is completed, open the web interface and continue the rest of the configuration there - https://192.168.0.114/

Make the following configuration in each page below.

System Settings -> General

Remove existing NTP servers and add local NPT server(192.168.0.2) with only option selected iBurst and Min/Max Pool set to 6/10.

Change Timezone in Localication to Europe/Bucharest

System Settings -> Services

Activate SSH service and make sure it is marked to be started automatically. Press the configure button and make sure Log in as Root with Password and Allow Password Authentication are unckeched.

System Settings -> Advanced

Open Syslog to change Syslog Server to 192.168.0.116:5514 in order to send the logs to HomeLab log server.

Open the System Dataset Pool and chose the value tank1 instead of of boot-pool for option Sepect Pool to move the system dataseet from the boot pool which is located to Serenity SSD to tank1. This reduces the wear of the SSD.

Credentials -> Local Users

Add a new user called sitram with UID 1000

Add my personal public key to user root so that I can log is with SSH securely.

Credentials -> Local Groups

Add a new group called sitram with GID 1000

Network
