TrueNAS was unable to reach updated servers.

This article will discuss an error that we encountered during the TrueNAS upgrade. The error will appear as follows:

This issue may be caused by two reasons:

• Incorrect DNS setup.
• Time and date discrepancies.

Method #1:

• Log in to TrueNAS.
• Navigate to the “Networking” section.
• Under “Global Configuration,” verify the correctness of the Nameservers.
• Once confirmed, proceed to the second method.

Method #2:

• Log in to TrueNAS.
• In the “System Information” section, check if you are encountering the error message: “Your NAS time does not match your computer time.” This occurs when the TrueNAS time and the TrueNAS backend time are not synchronized.
• Now, go to “System Settings” -> “Shell.”
• Execute the following command to resolve the time issue:

timedatectl set-time 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'

• After completing the steps, restart TrueNAS and check if the issue persists.
