March 14, 20233 yr I want to use TrueNas in a VM while using UNRAID host for everything else (dockers/VMs). Is the pictured configuration possible? UNRAID will use the 1Gb onboard ethernet IP 192.168.0.178 for internet access, and passing through a seperate 10Gb NIC to the TrueNAS VM. I don't have any HBA and so will passthrough the onboard sata controller with an SSD and some HDDs, and install TrueNAS VM on the SSD. The TrueNAS VM share will be mapped to UNRAID using SMB. Once the mapping is established, the TrueNAS VM share will be set up as a mounted disk on UNRAID. The mounted disk can then be used to set up shares on UNRAID. These shares can be used to store dockers/data. Here is where it gets complicated, I want to connect UNRAID share (which uses the TrueNAS VM share) to mapped Windows PC (IP 192.168.0.107). There is a direct connection using a DAC cable between the UNRAID and Windows PC. But the Windows 10 PC setup is similar to the UNRAID machine in that its also hosting another TrueNAS VM using Hyper-V with a passed through seperate 10Gb NIC (IP 192.168.11.2) and the TrueNAS VM shares are mapped to the host Windows 10. Essentially I have 1 TrueNAS (hosted in windows 10) and UNRAID share mapped to the Windows 10 PC. So when I transfer data between the mapped shares on Windows 10 machine it will do so through the DAC 10Gb cable. Is something like this possible or will UNRAID and windows 10 just communicate over the 1Gb link to the unmanaged switch?
March 15, 20233 yr What is the share mapped by? Name or IP. If name, it really depends on what IP that name resolves to on your client. If IP, you can directly address whatever actual interface as long as there is a route to it

If IP, you can directly address whatever actual interface as long as there is a route to it The truenas share are first mapped to their hosts, then in unraid its mapped as a drive where it can create a share on that mapped drive. That share is mapped to windows 10 machine. Not sure if this happens over the 10Gb NIC connection though.
March 15, 20233 yr If you are connecting to the unraid share (using 192.168.0.178 or unraid host name resolving to that IP), it will be using that 1G network. Why aren't you mapping the truenas IP directly on windows?

Why aren't you mapping the truenas IP directly on windows? I want to mount it as a drive on UNRAID so I can also use it for dockers/apps/vm data on it not just on the Windows machine. I can also just use UNRAID share permissions as well to manage the TrueNAS share this way which makes it easier. Edited March 15, 20233 yr by Hellomynameisleo
