Very relieved that the conversion from Core to Scale isn't complicated and is well-thought of by ix systems. Still will wait for the final release plus a few updates to ensure maturity in Scale. Thank you for this video.
Just did a migration on my home lab and it worked well running TrueNAS-SCALE-22.02.0.1 on R710 with a H700 controller and no issues at all, thanks for the video love your content even though you talk at 100mph, but i enjoy all your content
I'm glad you made this comment. I was quite leery given that I wasn't using TrueNAS's hardware. I own an R720 and took the plunge. Everything went about as flawless as it can be.
This was one of the easiest upgrades I could've imagined given the fact that it's migrating data from entirely different architectures. Thank you so much. I really love BSD and hope to return when I have a bit more experience (and hopefully money). But the features of Scale really sold me on it; primarily when it comes to running game servers. But I didn't want to have to spend hours or days setting everything up again. Sure it probably isn't as stable, but I really needed more out of my server (a decommissioned R720). Especially given that all I was using it for before was a NAS and Plex server.
FYI, for any users virtualizing TrueNAS, the upgrade path did not work for me. When you choose the upgrade path there are two different boot options, I tried both but both threw exceptions and failed to install. After that I had to do the fresh install which worked fine. Restored the config from the backup file and everything was up and running. Just make sure you have that backup file!
That was so smooth! Can't wait to see the "jail migration" video - I'd be nice to have specific tutorials for Plex and Nextcloud setups (which is the jails I currently run on my home system). Also, can't wait to SCALE to reach the STABLE release.
@@LAWRENCESYSTEMS that is clear, but many would need a totorial on how to export the Nextcloud Database or lokate it outside of the Jail and export the Users, in order to make it useable in the Docker instance instead of having to start from ground up...
Thanks mate, I just migrated over. Still works exactly as the video described. I had some issues with supported hardware on CORE, and it works perfectly fine on the Debian-based SCALE.
Used this as agood. It was super helpful. But never had to do the USB I was able to do the upgrade/migration through the console. Super easy and it just works.
thank god I backed up before the upgrade, once upgraded none of my pools showed up, so I told scale to restore and selected my backup, it then handled the conversion of my pools and when rebooted they were all there.
Went from truenas core to scale today on a dell r420 with 96g ram and 4 6tb sas drives, zfs giving me fits, same drives on core no issues. Fresh install of scale, created a fresh raidz2 pool, two of the 4 dives keep going into degrade mode.... truenas only thing i run zfs on because freenas and core have always been rock soild, open zfs on linux distros just not what its cracked up to be yet.
lawrence do something on the scaleout functions, would like to see multiple systems deployed with trunas scales and all sharing the data, and adding a new device on the pool to get the datat of the new server
No luck migrating here. Tried migrating 3 times, restored from backup 3 times, retried migrating 3 times again before giving up and ended up just doing a clean install.
My fresh install doesn't recognize the pool.. great, a good thing I still have the old SSD with old truenas core install intact. EDIT: Lost the 8 TB of data... pool didn't work with original Truenas core also... I'm so happy right now...
I think this is because your dataset is not encrypted. Try creating a dataset, and in the 'Advanced Settings', enabling encryption. You should notice that the three dots now say 'Export Keys' on the newly created dataset. Hope this helps!
Hi Tom, Have you thought about doing a video on how to do a migration of TrueNAS Core to TrueNAS Scale using the manual file update system of TrueNAS on a home built system? Thanks for your tutorial videos. Geoff

Is there a good solution for those of us who have Legacy Encryption on our Pool? If there is (or isn't), would that maybe justify a video in the future? Thanks for all the great information!
Export secret seeds? what are they? 2.54 export dataset keys? i can not find it? TrueNAS-12.0-U8.1. I have now truenas core (12.0-U8.1) with samba (else i can not place and put files on it) and Plex. I need Home Assistant with interaction (On Truenas core there is only Home Assistant core so no zwave/ zigbee sticks. But is it possible to update to Scale without losing my media data?
I started with 12 U06 and inplace upgrade doesnot work :( - clean install please, I have configuration backup. 5 minutes later - configuration cant be restored into clean install - Error: [EFAULT] Failed to upload config, version newer than the current installed. and No updates available. 7.5 minutes later - pools - import pool. here is my pool. its readable and working. 10 minutes later - found previous backup of 12 u4 and its accepted, and my shares is restored
hello thx for all ur amazing videos looking a lot of them and learned a lot of things. i want to migrate from core to scale. I know it a wrong thing but i virtualized truenas core on a proxmox and mount the pool in truenas. I'm going to change my server and want to dedicate one for truenas. my question is if i install truenas scale on a server and restore my db of truenas core in my new installation does scale will recognize my old pool or not thx for ur answer
So how's passing through Intel integrated graphics (or NVIDIA graphics card) to Plex to help render video in scale contra core? I'm seriously considering migrating because i really want to start a bedrock Minecraft server
Short and maybe dumb question: If i have a encrypted Dataset with a password to unlock and not a key, i dont need to do the second step with "export dataset keys" right?
Can you please make a video outlining how to upgrade TrueNas Core to TrueNas Scale via Proxmox? I am not sure if I force a reinstall via an ISO or something more than this. Thanks for making your videos. Please keep it going. Thanks.
Once it comes out of beta as there are some issues that seem to happen. Not sure what the cause it yet to make it reproducible but I will post in the TrueNAS forums once I get it sorted out.
i have ben waiting for you to do a video on the upgrade to scale from core..i am on FreeNas core but really like the way scale looks & I Love The Docker Thing! I Have a Scuzzy set up with a bunch of games & i Really Dont want to half to re download all of them..lol. I Also have sync thing set up & as well as a UniFi Controller But an another one r 2 But Them is No Big Deal..Thanks Again For all The Help Full Videos & Helping make Dumb people(Like Me) a little less Dumb LMAO !
Hi Tom. Great video. I've a FreeNas Mini running TrueNas Core (TrueNAS-12.0-U5.1) , do you think if it possible and safe to upgrade to TruenNas Scale?. Another question is about IPMI, Do you know how to do a firmare upgrade on the freenas mini?. It use a outdated version of java . Regards from Argentina.
No but you can probably just export the VM virtual drives, then create a new VM in TrueNAS Scale and then import the old virtual drives to migrate that manually
Mmmh, I really hoped this was about migrating jails to docker containers, but no, it's just about migrating the OS from Core to Scale... which basically just boils down to selecting the Upgrade previous installation button over the Fresh install button...
Question, is it possible in TrueNAS Scala/Core to combine two units to have a larger Data Pool? In the sense of a different solution than adding additional disks or replacing with larger ones.
I'm currently running TrueNAS Core on an ancient HP Microserver N54L! Yet it keeps on ticking... is there any reason why I can't run TrueNAS Scale on this... would like to retire the VM that hosts a couple of Docker containers and run them directly on the host OS - even if the underlying CPU is a little slow by today's standards!
Can you do a video about how to safely migrate a jail into a VM? Is there a way to do such a thing? I don't want to have to rebuild my Plex server for a third time. :-(
I really hope Pfsense/OPNsense can do the same by moving to use Linux instead of BSD kernel. There are so many things in *sense that are not supported because of kernel. 1st, the wireless card drivers, and then kernel space wireguard support, and then cake scheduler, and then BGP multi node loadbalancing. There are so many good stuffs missing in BSD kernel, I really hope one day we can have Linux version of *sense firewall ☺️
for some reason i don't have the data keys save thing on either of my pools and can't get scale to boot on bear metal either truenas is fucked you must be running something different cuz I have no keys to save and no data protection what are you running
At 5:30 it only has AFP, iSCSI and SMB. I guess that’s why the OP is asking. Kind of weird. Besides NFS missing from the menu, I thought AFP was gone already, apparently not.
@@IPD2001 because you want to use the features offered in Scale that you can't use in Core, like docker containers, KVM-based virtualization, and eventually clustering and cluster-based filesystems. Truenas Core has jails and some limited virtualization capability, but it's not anywhere near as good.
