Added another R720 to the rack! In this video I attempt to install TrueNAS only to realize I need to flash the RAID controller to IT mode first. After flashing, I install TrueNAS and then restore the configuration from a backup created from my old TrueNAS install. I tried using the virtual console via idrac to make filming easier but was running into a Java error. At the time it didn't cross my mind to use the virtual console via HTML. That works just fine.
