TrueNAS/ZFS

Notes. Mainly for me but might be useful/of interest to users.

Consoles

port 5, 11, web site (with shell)

HA

High Availability. Two controllers hpcstore1 (also known as A) and hpcstore2 (also known as B).

Virtual IP hpcstore.wesleyan.edu floats back and forth seamlessly (tested, some protocols will loose connectivity). In a split brain situation (no response, both controllers think they are it), disconnect one controller from power then reboot. Then reconnect and wait a few minutes for HA icon to turn green when controller comes online.

An update goes like this and is not an interruption. Check for and apply updates. They are applied to partner and partner is rebooted. When partner comes back up it becomes the primary. Now you need apply updates to other partner. When it comes back up it remains secondary node. Check that nodes run the same version.

SSH

Allowed for large content transfers using scp or sftp or just checking things out.
TODO: rsync?

Home directories are located in /mnt/tank/zfshomes. When users get cut over their location will be updated in the /etc/passwd file and $HOME becomes /zfshomes/username. So we can keep track of that. Followed by an rsync process that will from TrueNAS/ZFS appliance rsync to sharptail:/home.
TODO: write script. \
TODO: add disksold sharptail:/home, enlarge and merge LVMs.
TODO: backup target

# create user, no new but set primary + auxillary groups, full-name
# set shell, set permissions, some random passwd date +%N with symbols
# then move all dot files into ~/._nas scp ~/.ssh over

rsync -ac --bwlimit=4096 --whole-file --stats sharptail:/home/hmeij/  /mnt/tank/zfshomes/hmeij/

SMB

SMB/CIFS (Samba) shares are also created once the homedir is up.

  • For each user
    • mnt/tanks/zfshomes/username
    • uncheck default permissions
    • valid users = usname, @ugroup(s)
    • /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf

Note At user creation a random password is set. Please ask to have it reset to access SMB shares. (there should be some self-serve password reset functionality with email confirmation but I cannot find it for now.

# windows, map network drive
\\hpcstore.wesleyan.edu\username

# credentials, one or all of these may work
WORKGROUP\username
localhost\username
username

Change $HOME location in /etc/passwd and propagate.
Note remove access to old $HOME … chown root:root + chmod o-rwx
END OF USER ACCOUNT SETUP


NFS

  • maproot is needed
  • export to both private networks
root@hpcstore1[~]# cat /etc/exports

/mnt/tank/zfshomes -maproot="root":"wheel" -network 192.168.0.0/16
/mnt/tank/zfshomes -maproot="root":"wheel" -network 10.10.0.0/16

/mnt/tank/zfshomes-auto-20200310.1348-1y-clone -ro \
  -maproot="root":"wheel" -network 192.168.0.0/16
/mnt/tank/zfshomes-auto-20200310.1348-1y-clone -ro \  
  -maproot="root":"wheel" -network 10.10.0.0/16

Rollback

Rollback is a potentially dangerous operation

Instead restore via snapshots. See Guide.

Snapshots

  • Daily snapshots, one per day, kept for a year (for now)
    • Recursive
    • Read only
    • snapshot period 1:00-23:00
  • Request a clone to be made from a snapshot (specify date)
    • check permissions on cloned volume, not windows!
    • NOTE: once had mnt/tank/zfshomes also reset to windows, nasty, permissions denied errors
    • when cloning grant access to 192.168.0.0/16 and 10.10.0.0/16
    • NFS mount, read only
    • maproot root:wheel (also for mnt/tankl/zfshomes)
  • Clone mounted on say cottontail2:/mnt/clone“date”
  • Restore actions by user
  • Delete clone when done
# mountpoints (maproot=root:wheel)
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 10 14:08 /mnt/clone0310
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar  6 14:01 /zfshomes
