    We can export an virtual volume (zvol) on TrueNas, thanks to the iSCSI protocol.

    Create a zvol from the pool

    Sharing / Block/Shars (iscsi)

    Target Global Configuration: Modify iqn if necessary

    Portals: Add a portal with IP 0.0.0.0

    Initiators Groups: Add a initiator with feature of “Allow All initiators”

    Authorized Access: No modification

    Targets: Add a target with the above portal id, initiator id

  • Install windows7 onto iscsi target: Server Setup

    A PC (IP=192.168.127.88) with ubuntu/debian installed is used as:

    TFTP server

            HTTP Server

            CIFS Server

            ISCSI Server (Target)

     

    TFTP server

    #  Setup tftp server

    apt-get install tftpd-hpa

    /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa start

     

    #  Testing tftp server

    apt-get install tftp

    uname -a >/srv/tftp/test

    tftp 127.0.0.1

    >get test

    >quit

    diff test /srv/tftp/test

     

    # Install syslinux 4.x  (SYSLINUX 4.0.1 debian-20100714)

    apt-get install syslinux


    cp /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /srv/tftp/

# copy other interested support files
    cp /usr/lib/syslinux/menu.c32 /srv/tftp
cp /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk /srv/tftp
cp /usr/lib/syslinux/mboot.c32 /srv/tftp
cp /usr/lib/syslinux/chain.c32 /srv/tftp
    mkdir -pv /srv/tftp/pxelinux.cfg

    To simplify the script across ubuntu and debian,  create the /tftp linkto the actual tftp root directory (/srv/tftp in case)
