Install FreeNAS Initiator

When the cluster is used a convergent model with TrueNAS, the patches need to be installed for the FreeNAS Initiator to show under the storage dialogue 

 GitHub Repo 

   

 Option 1 

 

 Connect to each node and install the following keys 

 curl https://ksatechnologies.jfrog.io/artifactory/ksa-repo-gpg/ksatechnologies-release.gpg -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ksatechnologies-release.gpg

curl https://ksatechnologies.jfrog.io/artifactory/ksa-repo-gpg/ksatechnologies-repo.list -o /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ksatechnologies-repo.list

 

 Then issue the following to install the package 

 Line 3 may now be in the code after I put in the GitHub issue. Link 

 apt update

apt install freenas-proxmox -y

systemctl restart pvescheduler.service 

   

 Option 2 

 

 This is the manual way to do this. However, I don't do it this way now that there is a package to install. The benefit to the package is that once Proxmox is updated, the TrueNAS configurations are not overwritten. 

   

 Let's create the SSH keys on the Proxmox boxes. (The IP must match your iSCSI Portal IP) You only need to create the keys on one node if they are clustered as the keys will replicate to the other nodes. 

 

 $portal_ip=192.168.2.252

mkdir /etc/pve/priv/zfs

ssh-keygen -f /etc/pve/priv/zfs/$portal_ip_id_rsa

ssh-copy-id -i /etc/pve/priv/zfs/$portal_ip_id_rsa.pub root@$portal_ip 

 Enable "Log in as root with password" under Services -> SSH on the FreeNAS box. 

 Make an SSH connection from every node to the iSCSI Portal IP 

 ssh -i /etc/pve/priv/zfs/$portal_ip_id_rsa root@$portal_ip 

   

 Install the REST client on every node 

 apt-get install librest-client-perl git 

   

 Download the patches on every Proxmox node 

 git clone https://github.com/TheGrandWazoo/freenas-proxmox 

   

 

 Install the patches on every Proxmox node 

 These can be run all at once but it is harder to see the output 

 cd freenas-proxmox

patch -b /usr/share/pve-manager/js/pvemanagerlib.js < pve-manager/js/pvemanagerlib.js.patch

patch -b /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/ZFSPlugin.pm < perl5/PVE/Storage/ZFSPlugin.pm.patch

patch -b /usr/share/pve-docs/api-viewer/apidoc.js < pve-docs/api-viewer/apidoc.js.patch

cp perl5/PVE/Storage/LunCmd/FreeNAS.pm /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/LunCmd/FreeNAS.pm 

   

 Restart the PVE services 

 systemctl restart pvedaemon

systemctl restart pveproxy

systemctl restart pvestatd 

 If you are using a cluster restart the following services as well. 

 systemctl restart pve-ha-lrm

systemctl restart pve-ha-crm

systemctl restart pvescheduler.service 

 Reload the PVE webgui. Now FreeNAS-API should be available as an iSCSI provider.
