Greetings to the entire community. I tried to install TrueNas Core, in the latest version, on a 500GB Samsung SSD, placed inside an HP miniserver with 4 disks of 2TB each. The 500GB SSD already had VmWare ESXi installed. I thought that the two software could coexist, side by side, on the same SSD. H…

TrueNAS - both CORE and SCALE - uses a dedicated disk drive for the operating system installation. It is not possible to share the drive with any other OS.

[image] tascusi: Furthermore, among the disks where I could install TrueNas core, the 64GB USB stick did not appear. Well, if you’re installing FROM the stick you cannot install TO the stick. And it is advised NOT to use a USB stick for boot. [image] tascusi: Is it possible, therefore, t…

[image] etorix: Not to mention that ESXi doesn’t have much a future in a home lab. I respect what you wrote, although I wouldn’t be so sure. Consider that I have been using ESXi for 8 years now without problems. As for the installation of TrueNas, I am pleased to read what I had already intu…

[image] etorix: It would be possible to install TrueNAS as a virtual machine under ESXi but that begs the question of what you want to achieve and whether you have the technical expertise to do this safely I have seen that many people install TrueNas as a virtual machine. In fact, installing …

[image] etorix: And it is advised NOT to use a USB stick for boot What method does the user manual recommend?

[image] etorix: And it is advised NOT to use a USB stick for boot Install Provides installation instructions for TrueNAS CORE. I followed what is described in this link for the installation.

[image] tascusi: I followed what is described in this link for the installation. You apparently did not or we have a gap in our communications. The guide says to use the USB drive as the installation (ISO) media and to boot from it to perform the installation to a different drive. It is not…

[image] joeschmuck: For this reason iXsystems has stated that they will no longer be supporting ESXi, meaning that if it works, great, if it doesn’t work then it is not up to them to make it work. Just for clarity, we will obviously continue supporting ESXi/VMware as a client connecting to Tr…

[image] Chris Peredun: Just for clarity, we will obviously continue supporting ESXi/VMware as a client connecting to TrueNAS - that’s a huge use case for both our community and enterprise users. :stuck_out_tongue: LOL, I guess I understood that but you are correct, I was not insinuating ESXi …
