TrueCommand has several multisystem management capabilities with more in development for future releases.

TrueCommand 2.0 added cluster capability. It can also apply TrueNAS configurations to multiple systems at once.

Config Management

TrueCommand can manage TrueNAS Config files. TrueCommand can also restore a single config file to multiple systems.

To apply a config to multiple systems, you must first create a config backup from the TrueNAS system with the settings you want to apply to other TrueNAS units.

Click on the system name for a TrueNAS server to open the single system view.
