Preparing for Clustering

TrueNAS SCALE has the unique ability to cluster groups of systems together. These clusters can then create new volumes within the existing SCALE storage pools. Data stored in a clustered volume is shared between the clustered systems and can add additional redundancy or performance to the environment.

Clustering is considered experimental and should not be used in a production environment or for handling critical data!

TrueNAS SCALE provides a few options for setting up system clustering:

• MinIO-created distributed clustering of TrueNAS SCALE systems.

• Clustering and sharing SCALE volumes with TrueCommand.
