TrueNAS in a Proxmox VM with SSD/HDD passthrough

We'll install TrueNAS in a Proxmox VM and pass a pair of ssd's through to that VM. Once that is done we'll log into TrueNAS and set them up to be utilized as a Windows share.

If you are using old disks and need to format them go to the Disks of the node and note the /dev/***

Then got to the shell of that node and type

cfdisk /dev/(Name of disk to be formated)

delte all partition and creat a new drive then quit

Pass a HDD through to a VM

Identify the disk you want to passthrough

ls /dev/disk/by-id

In the shell of the node

qm set "vm number" -"disk type""volume number" /dev/disk/by-id/"drive identifier"


I.E.

qm set 102 -sata1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HMS5CBLAHBLAH_MIDWSETISTHEBEST
